Lancia Y dimensions

The Lancia Ypsilon is a supermini manufactured by the Italian manufacturer Lancia since 1996. It is the replacement of the Lancia Y10.

The first Lancia Ypsilon was based on and shares its underpinnings with the first generation of the Fiat Punto. However, unlike its more pedestrian counterpart, the Lancia Ypsilon is available only with a 3-door hatchback body. It was generation was available only with petrol engines from 1. 1 L to 1. 4 L. The top model 1. 4 L was an old model with 12 valves, and was eventually replaced with a 16-valve 1. 2 L, smaller but more comprehensive, with 63 Kw (86 PS).

An all-new version was launched in 2003, still only with a 3-door body, and now based on the second Fiat Punto. The Lancia Ypsilon is Lancia's best-selling model, in spite of the fact Fiat Auto is trying to sphere the Lancia make as luxury. The motor range goes from 1. 2 L to 1. 4 L, alongside the 1. 3 Multijet Diesel, with performance going from 44 Kw (60 PS) to 70 Kw (95 PS). The second generation has increased dashboard space and more equipment, including traditional ABS, climate control and auxillary CD player, cruise control, alloy wheels and a sequential manual gearbox. A 5-door mini MPV version of the Lancia Ypsilon is sold as the Musa.
