In 1985, Lancia launched the small city car Ypsilon, which for years attracted a large number of customers. It was produced in five generations and over 3 million units left the production lines. He is celebrating his 40th birthday this year.

This model is currently the only one in the offer of the Italian manufacturer which, as part of one of the largest automotive conglomerates, Stellantis, intends to return some of the glory it had a few decades ago.

The first model was called the Y10 and it quickly became recognizable for its unusual shape for that time, but also for the fact that all cars had black tailgates. The second generation arrived on the market in 1995, and eight years later the third generation was launched, which also brought certain changes.

The fourth generation Ypsilon was launched in 2011, which was offered for the first time with five doors. In 2024, the fifth generation of Ypslilon arrived on the market, which brought many novelties and hope for a better future for the Italian brand.

The current Lancia Ypsilon is equipped with Level 2 autonomous driving technology, and buyers can also opt for a purely electric version with a 51 kWh battery that allows a range of up to 403 kilometers, and 156 horsepower.
