Recent teaser images showcase the rear of the vehicle, featuring a circular taillight motif, reminiscent of the legendary Lancia Stratos. An interior shot also reveals a digital display and a control button for Lancia’s latest infotainment system, named SALA (Sound Air Light Augmentation).
Lancia has announced that its future models will incorporate dual digital displays as standard equipment. At least one of these screens will offer a customizable, widget-based interface akin to a smartphone. Additionally, voice control capabilities for various functions have been confirmed by Lancia.
Preview of the New Lancia Ypsilon, Set to Debut in February 2024
Prior teaser images disclosed the front design of the vehicle, characterized by a prominent T-shaped pattern in the daytime running lights. The interior glimpse also featured the inscription “Cassina,” a reference to a prestigious Italian furniture brand. This brand has influenced the interior design of the new Lancia models, including a limited-edition Lancia Ypsilon Cassina, capped at 1,906 units.
While specific details about the new Ypsilon remain undisclosed, Lancia has indicated that it will be available with either electric or gasoline powertrains. The model is expected to retain its hatchback form and utilize Stellantis’ CMP platform, suitable for subcompact vehicles.
Looking ahead, Lancia plans to introduce a flagship model and a contemporary Delta in 2026 and 2028, respectively. These models will exclusively employ electric powertrains, with the flagship slated to utilize the Stellantis STLA Medium platform.

Electric and gasoline options, nice touch Lancia. But really looking forward to the fully electric models in the coming years.
wow, lancia is really stepping up their game with this EV, Can’t wait to see it in person, the teaser pics look amazing!!
Lancia and electric, who would’ve thought? interesting to see how they balance their classic design with modern tech.
as an Italian, it’s great to see Lancia embracing the future while staying true to their roots. can’t wait for the reveal!
that infotainment system sounds cool, but I hope it’s user-friendly. some of these new systems are just too complicated.
is it just me or are all these car companies just jumping on the EV bandwagon now? Hope Lancia keeps their unique style.
