Lancia Ypsilon twin air test: savings dwarf with luxury standards


The new Lancia Ypsilon starts on 2 July. The Italians raise the legitimate question: what is luxury, if he remains out of reach? - and also yourself answer: nothing. Therefore, is the new Ypsilon starting at 12,500 euro in the race and to score it with an extensive facilities.

Serves as a basic version of the 1.2 8V 69 HP at the front wheels sending, only diesel in the program the 1.3 JTD, the 95 HP is mobilized. Much more important, however: There is the small car in the fourth generation as practical four. The entry in the Lancia Ypsilon manages but through the strong roof feeder only limited gracefully. On the back seat of Lancia grown to three centimeters in length a proper space is then, as long as the other passengers are not more than 1.80 metres.

In the Lancia trimmed on noble, whose protteliger sound however bothering Ypsilon, here, the one or other insulation mat would do very well.
Otherwise the engine 875 CC settles displacement properly in the stuff, although it addresses something delayed. It is linked to a five speed gear box, whose Weg something too long, and the leadership was too lax. Alternative: Baptized the variant with an automated clutch, cliched Dolce FA niente (the sweet doing nothing). Thus, the CO2 emissions of Lancia to also decrease Ypsilon from 99 to 97 grams per kilometer.
Start-stop automatic as standard
Both share the somewhat insensitive, smooth-running power steering. And where is the luxury? The basic version called silver, the manufacturer shows there stingy. After all: ESP, automatic start stop feature and power Windows are series in the Lancia Ypsilon. Of a lush facilities, the speech can be only at the top model of Platinum.
Bi-Xenon headlights and a parking Assistant - and some 600 ways to combine paints, upholstery and wheels find Y in the option list of Lancia. Who can afford luxury, has also spoilt for choice.
