All in all, the new Lancia Ypsilon 2024 is a vehicle that measures 4.08 meters long, is 1.76 meters wide and 1.44 meters high, as well as a wheelbase that reaches 2.54 meters. To this we must add an interior for five passengers and a trunk with up to 310 liters of volumetric capacity.
The mechanical offer, at least in these first months of commercial life, is limited to a single 100% electric motorization. It is made up of a 156 HP electric motor that is powered by a battery with 54 kWh of energy capacity with which it can travel up to 403 kilometers on a single charge.
