The New Lancia Ypsilon

source:www.zougla.gr

A new era begins for Lancia from... today, as the availability of the new Ypsilon generation begins. The Italian model with the Greek name is already in the 20 authorized representatives of the new importing company and awaits prospective drivers, to see and drive it. This is a model that comes at the right time in our country. And this is because the category it belongs to is now the most popular and is constantly gaining ground.

Starting with the dimensions (3,8 meters), it's not the one that won't... fit on the roads but the car that can move both in and out of big cities. From now on, the three-door body became a five-door, so it may well be bought by those who are looking for either a small car with design or those who now want a... small but with spaces for the whole family. The continuation concerns the engines, a very important element nowadays where everyone is looking for solutions to reduce their expenses.

No road tax

The new Ypsilon generation is available with two gasoline engines and one diesel engine, also known in Greece. Specifically, the prospective buyer can choose the engine of 875 κ.εκ. with them 85 horses but also him 1.2 with them 69. In the first case, the owner pays no road tax at all, since CO2 emissions are below the 100 g/km. Something similar is also true in the case of the diesel version 1.3 liters and of 95 horses, with fuel consumption in this case being, according to the factory, στα 3,8 liters per 100 kilometers. We also have fuel economy in the petrol versions, with her 1.2 to "burn" 4,9 l, while the edition 0.9 consumes 4.2 liters in 100 kilometers. In all three cases, the Start system & Stop (the engine shuts off when the car is stationary) is standard equipment.

In the climate of the time

In the short road experience we had with the car during the press presentation, what we were left with was the performance of the diesel versions and 0.9, as is consumption, which we saw fluctuating at low levels. Driving the new Ypsilon is clearly better than the upcoming generation, while internally the quality of the materials has been upgraded. The instrument panel has remained in the center, but what was not added were the spaces for small items, which we would like to see more of. The first picture was very good and, despite the fact that we are experiencing an unprecedented crisis, we believe that Ypsilon moves with the climate of the time. Small car, five doors, small engines, low consumption, zero traffic fees even design.

Ypsilon's starting price is the 12.488 euro, but due to the... newness of the model and also the new principle for the importing company there will be a limited number of cars with 10.500 euro, in the event that the customer makes use of the measure of withdrawal.
