The '''Lancia Ypsilon''' is a supermini car ([[B-segment]]) manufactured and marketed by [[Lancia]], currently in its fourth generation and as of 2024, the marque's only model. The Ypsilon was released in 1995, as a larger and more expensive replacement to the [[Autobianchi Y10|Y10]]. Between 1995 and 2005, Lancia produced more than 870,000 Ypsilons in the Melfi plant in the [[Potenza]] region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omniauto.it/magazine/12366/fiat-5-milioni-di-auto-prodotte-a-melfi |title=5 million vehicles assembly in Melfi |publisher=Omniauto.it |date=15 December 2003 |access-date=9 October 2011}}</ref>

The third generation Ypsilon, sharing its platform with the [[Fiat 500 (2007)|Fiat 500]], was marketed also as the '''Chrysler Ypsilon''' in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan. Fiat Group discontinued the Chrysler variant in 2017, having marketed 2,000 units in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/chrysler-brand-axed-uk-2017/1338450|title=Chrysler brand to be axed in the UK in 2017|website=What Car?|date=17 March 2015|access-date=25 May 2015}}</ref> It is also no longer sold in Japan, with the discontinuation of both the [[Chrysler Voyager#Lancia Voyager|Lancia Voyager]] and [[Lancia Thema]] branding on Chrysler-built vehicles in 2015.

Despite relative obscurity worldwide and in Europe, the Lancia Ypsilon is a popular offering in Italy. Between 1995 and 2019, Lancia sold over 1.6 million Y and Ypsilon examples in Italy alone.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Malan |first=Andrea |date=2019-10-19 |title=Lancia passes Fiat ownership landmark but no celebration for storied brand |url=https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/lancia-passes-fiat-ownership-landmark-no-celebration-storied-brand |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=Automotive News Europe}}</ref> In 2023, despite its age, it had the first highest market share in the B-segment in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lancia Ypsilon, a record breaker in 2023 |url=https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/lancia/press/lancia-ypsilon-a-record-breaker-in-2023 |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=www.media.stellantis.com |language=en}}</ref>

[[File:Lancia Y rear102.jpg|thumb|left|pre-facelift Lancia Ypsilon rear]]
The Lancia '''Ypsilon''' or '''Y''' (Type 840) was designed by [[Enrico Fumia]] in 1992.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/detail/5134 |title=Lancia Y – The Style |publisher=Lanciapress.com |date=14 September 2000 |access-date=7 October 2011}}</ref> It was developed over 24 months at a cost of around 400 billion [[Italian lira]]<ref>{{cite web |author=Lancia Y Club Italia MaTT |url=http://www.lanciayclubitalia.it/datitecnici.php |title=History of Lancia Y |publisher=Lanciayclubitalia.it |access-date=4 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820010742/http://www.lanciayclubitalia.it/datitecnici.php |archive-date=20 August 2016 |url-status=dead  }}</ref> and was presented in Rome in January 1996.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/article/112 |title=Specification about Lancia Y |publisher=Lanciapress.com |access-date=7 October 2011}}</ref> The arches defined the car, repeating themselves on all sides of the car. The length is 3.72 m, 33&nbsp;cm longer than the Y10. The Lancia Y was built on the same platform of the [[Fiat Punto]] series 176 (the same platform as the [[Fiat Barchetta|Barchetta]]), with a shortened wheelbase and an all-independent suspension setup: [[MacPherson strut|MacPherson]] struts at the front, [[Trailing-arm suspension|trailing arms]] at the rear.

The main features of the Lancia Y include five seats, a soft plastic dashboard, and accessories, and options, including body colors in 100 shades from the Lancia Kaleidoscope catalog. Another design property that distinguished the Y was the instrument cluster in the center of the dashboard, which was adopted by the [[Lancia Musa|Musa]] and Ypsilon later in 2003.
[[File:Lancia Y Interior106.jpg|thumb|left|Lancia Y interior in [[Alcantara (material)|Alcantara]]]]
Initially, the range featured three trim levels: LE, LS, and LX. A ''[[Cosmopolitan (magazine)|Cosmopolitan]]'' special edition of 600 pieces was later added. It was created through collaboration with the magazine, based on the LX trim. It was sold in the European market outside of Italy.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}}

Air conditioning was standard on the LX and an option on the LS. The LX also offered an enhanced instrument cluster with a rev counter and a larger display that also displayed the outside temperature.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}}

The engines were part of the [[Fully Integrated Robotised Engine|FIRE]] series that debuted in the [[Lancia Y10|Y10]] in 1985 and later was used in other Fiat and Lancia vehicles. They were available in displacements of 1,108 and 1,242cc with eight valves in an [[overhead camshaft]] arrangement. The top-of-the-line 1.4 12 valve "Pratola Serra" engine with {{cvt|80|PS|disp=flip}} was carried over from the [[Fiat Bravo/Brava]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/article/2309 |title=Lancia Y at Bologna MotorShow 1999 |publisher=Lanciapress.com |access-date=9 October 2011}}</ref> Given the limited success of the Pratola Serra engine, it was soon replaced by the first so-called SuperFIRE engine, featuring four valves per cylinder and multipoint [[fuel injection]]. The Lancia Y was the first car to receive this evolution of the FIRE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/article/2128 |title=Lancia Y model year 1999 |publisher=Lanciapress.com |access-date=9 October 2011}}</ref>

The 1,242cc SuperFIRE developed {{cvt|86|PS|disp=flip}} at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 113 [[Newton metre|Nm]] at 4,500 rpm. This engine remained available on the 2013 Lancia Ypsilon, 2013 [[Ford Ka]], and the [[Fiat 500]].

The '''Elefantino Rosso''' (English: Tiny Red Elephant, which was the symbol of the historic [[Lancia]] HF sports cars that won numerous rally competitions) was the sports version of the Lancia Y and the sister car to the [[Fiat Punto|Fiat Punto Sporting]]. It featured an interior in grey [[Alcantara (material)|Alcantara]], seats also in grey Alcantara and accentuated with dark grey fabric insets that echo the exterior color of the car, a center console, 15" wheels and rear-view mirrors in a [[titanium]] look, the [[steering wheel]] and gearshift in grey leather with red stitching, air conditioning, a shorter gearbox ratio for quicker acceleration from 0–100&nbsp;km/h and in 5th gear, a lowered and stiffened suspension with bigger [[Anti-roll bar|roll bars]] and more direct power steering. It reached a top speed of 177&nbsp;km/h and was the only car in the lineup to receive 15" wheels with 195/50R15 tires. For those who desired a more discreet, comfortable, and luxurious ride, the LX (with an Alcantara and walnut veneer interior) and LS were also available with SuperFIRE. They were able to reach the same top speed as the "Pratola Serra" versions. The 1.2 8V was available with an automatic ECVT transmission.

Lancia had pulled out of [[Right- and left-hand traffic|RHD]] markets two years prior to the Y's launch. Thus, no RHD version was developed.

The Italian magazine ''[[Quattroruote]]'' test drove the "Ypsilon 16V LX" beyond its usual city use and praised its excellent power reserves while offering the comforts of a car worthy of a higher price. The model was an immediate success selling over 42,000 units in the first two months.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1996/marzo/06/Fiat_boom_Europa_co_0_9603069711.shtml |title=Fiat sales in Europe (1996 – Archivio Storico) |publisher=Archiviostorico.corriere.it |date=24 December 2009 |access-date=4 October 2011}}</ref>

===2000–2003===
[[File:Lanciaycosmo9.JPG|thumb|right|2000 Lancia Y facelift]]
In October 2000, the exterior and interior were restyled. The external changes included a new, larger grille, new bumpers, new taillights, new wheel cover designs, new fog lights. The side moldings of the car became much smoother and body-colored. The most significant internal change was the headrests (instead of drilled solids) and new seats and new steering wheel (similar to that of the [[Lancia Lybra]]). The material was no longer available with "soft touch", reflective security was removed from the doors, the climate control button was replaced with a lever, and the instrument panel was made more readable and modern, especially in the use of the [[LED]] display. The length of the car increased slightly from 3.72 metres to 3.74 metres.

The LX and Red Elephant versions, which cost €15,060 list,{{clarify|where they cost that much?|date=December 2012}} came with the standard including driver and passenger [[airbags]], air conditioning, ABS, power steering, [[Blaupunkt]] radio/navigation system with 6 speakers, split rear seat with headrests, the Alcantara interior, outdoor temperature display, electrically operated door mirrors painted in body color, the helm station and instrument panel were red instead of green, central locking with remote control, power windows, adjustable seat and steering wheel, leather interior with red stitching on the Red Elephant, fog lamps and alloy wheels with 185/60 R 14 tires for the LX and 195/50 R15 for the Red Elephant.

The following years were marketed by other special versions: DoDo,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/article/2479 |title=Lancia Y DoDo |publisher=LanciaPress |access-date=7 October 2011}}</ref> Vanity and Unica. 16v versions reduce their output of {{Convert|6|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} due to new Euro 3 pollution standards. Emissions were reduced with a more linear delivery, while maintaining, and sometimes even increasing, consumption.

Lancia reduced power from 60&nbsp;PS on the 1242 cc, due to the addition of the sequential multipoint fuel injection system, costing power.

It also removed the {{Convert|55|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} engine 1108 option, as it had not yet been adapted to the new Euro 3 directive, leaving the {{Convert|60|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} 1.2 8v and 1.2 16v {{Convert|80|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanciapress.com/press/detail/5135 |title=Lancia Y – The engines 1.2 8v and 1.2 16v |publisher=Lanciapress.com |date=14 September 2000 |access-date=7 October 2011}}</ref>

In September 2003, after nearly nine years of career and just above 804,600 units sold,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lancia-historie.de/dokumente/prod_1908-2004.pdf |title=Lancia production models |access-date=4 October 2011}}</ref> its successor, the Lancia Ypsilon debuted, replacing it completely the following year.

===2003–2006===
The '''Ypsilon''' (Type 843) was Introduced in 2003 to access the Lancia range. It was designed to meet the needs of a young audience, and over time found sales, especially to females.{{Citation needed|date=February 2021}} It became the best-selling car of the Lancia range with an annual production of about 60,000 units. It was initially assembled at the [[Fiat]] plant in Melfi. In June 2005 production was moved to [[Sicily]] at the plant in [[Termini Imerese]] [[Palermo]]. The car uses a three-door body about 3.78 meters long, with the design inspired by the historic [[Lancia Ardea]].<ref>[http://www.fiatpress.com/press/detail/5665 Official Fiat Press]</ref>

[[File:Wikilancy.jpg|thumb|left|2003 Ypsilon inside]]
The front is characterized by a large chrome grille with lobes at the top. The lighting is placed at the ends of the front arch. The bumpers are characterized by the presence of an unpainted longitudinal fascia applied above the air intakes in which the fog lamps (in the top versions) are located at either end. A prominent rib runs along the sides. The tail has vertically oriented [[headlamps]] that culminate in the bumper and are integrated into the fenders. The rear [[trunk (automobile)|tailgate]] has a small size that limits visibility, embellished by chromed fascia above the [[license plate]].

The frame used a shortened wheelbase version of the B platform debuted with the [[Fiat Punto|Fiat Punto (188)]] and adopted also by the [[Fiat Idea]] and [[Lancia Musa]]. The engine is transverse front-mounted, with front-wheel drive. The front independent suspensions are [[MacPherson strut]]s with [[stabilizer bar]], with steel arms, while at the rear there is a semi-independent [[Twist-beam rear suspension|torsion beam]] suspension. The braking system makes use of ventilated discs at the front while classic drums are available at the rear, only for the Sport Momo Design versions the company has made available the four-disc braking system with stiffened set-up and suspension. All versions included Anti-lock Braking System ([[Anti-lock braking system|ABS]]) with [[Electronic Brake Distribution]] (EBD) and an electric [[power steering]] system that stiffens gradually, but among the options are combined [[electronic stability control]] and traction.

The interior is covered with plastic inserts on door panels and instrument panel is covered with AIRtex fabric, leather or Alcantara depending on the model. Two-tone upholstery and plastic inserts mimic aluminium. The upholstery is available in four different materials: "Glamour", AIRtex, [[Alcantara (material)|alcantara]], and leather. It offers large storage space in front of the driver and passenger. The air conditioning and radio controls were located in the central area, including the optional navigation system.

===2006–2010===
[[File:Lancia Ypsilon Facelift rear.JPG|thumb|left|2006 Ypsilon facelift rear]]
In Autumn 2006 the Ypsilon received a touch-up that affected the engines and internals. It had a new front grille, more rounded bumpers with enlarged air intakes, and ice-effect rear light clusters. There are five versions: Argento, Passion, Oro Bianco, Oro Giallo e Platino. New fabrics for the seats came with new combinations of colours, and the dashboard trim is either lacquered silver or dark gray. The car has a new 1.3 Multijet 16v engine of 75, 90, or 105 horses. It also offered Blue&Me hands-free kit (Bluetooth with USB port), new colours, and new wheels.

The new Ypsilon can be equipped with Electronic Stability Control and hill holder for an extra charge, and has a grip of 0.93 g, although the roll is accentuated due to the soft suspension calibration. The shift lever is in a raised position and the rear seats come with split and sliding available in two versions (3 or 2 seats). The 2008 model introduced a [[Diesel particulate filter|DPF]] particulate filter as standard on all [[diesel engines]] except the 105 horsepower 1.3 Multijet diesel with the automated manual transmission D.F.N. (''Dolce Far Niente'').

===2010–2011===

In 2010, the exterior mirrors increased in size and darkened headlamps appeared. In 2011 Lancia introduced the final version called Ypsilon Unyca.

Production of the second generation Lancia Ypsilon ended on 23 November 2011 because Fiat Group closed the Termini Imerese factory where the Ypsilon was assembled.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/economia/2011/11/14/news/cala_il_sipario_sulla_fiat_di_termini_imerese_il_23_novembre_sar_l_ultimo_giorno-24983158/?ref=HREC2-3 |title=Fiat, Cala il sipario su Termini Imerese.

The third generation was introduced at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2011|Geneva Motor Show]] in 2011.

The first drawings of Type 846 were developed in late 2006 and early 2007 by the Lancia Style Centre, directed by Alberto Dilillo,<ref>{{cite web| first = Paolo Alberto | last = Fina |url=http://www.autoblog.it/post/31989/lancia-Ypsilon-il-design-raccontato-dai-suoi-stilisti |title=Lancia Ypsilon: il design raccontato dai suoi stilisti |publisher=Autoblog.it |date=27 February 2011 |access-date=15 April 2012}}</ref> before the Fiat/Chrysler alliance. The final model included only a few changes from the original, especially in the grille that recalls the style of most Chrysler models, with horizontal slats replacing the two lobes with vertical slats. From 2014 on, it was the sole model available in Lancia's range.

The third series of Ypsilon adopted a five-door body with rear door handles recessed into the door's trailing edge.

The third generation shares the [[Fiat Mini platform]] with the Fiat 500 and Panda. Production was moved to Fiat's Tychy plant,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.polishmarket.com/82612/Fiat-to-move-production-of-Lancia-Ypsilon-to-Tychy.shtml |title=Fiat to move production of Lancia Ypsilon to Tychy |publisher=Polishmarket.com |date=23 February 2010 |access-date=23 April 2011}}</ref> reaching 100,000 units per year at full capacity. The front suspension continued with independent wheel MacPherson struts at the front and the semi-independent torsion beam with a stabilizer bar at the rear.

The Ypsilon is the first Lancia production vehicle to adopt their Pu+Ra Design language ('Pu+Ra' is a combination of ‘pure’ and ‘radical’) and the brand's new logo, which were both previewed from the Pu+Ra HPE concept car in 2023. The Ypsilon features an illuminated version of the historic front grille with three light rays, round headlights and taillights that both feature a letter Y motif, a Lancia badge on the C-Pillar and the Ypsilon badge on the rear hatch, having handwritten characters inspired by historic Lancia models.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> The ICE models are distinguished from the electric models, with four additional cooling intakes on the front fascia (which are blanked out on the electric model) and a single exhaust pipe on the rear diffuser.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pappas |first=Thanos |date=2024-05-01 |title=Lancia Ypsilon Range Detailed, Mild Hybrid Starts From €24,900 In Italy |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2024/05/lancia-ypsilon-range-detailed-mild-hybrid-starts-from-e24900-in-italy/ |work=CarScoops}}</ref>

The Ypsilon is the first Lancia model to debut with S.A.L.A. (Sound Air Light Augmentation) infotainment system with virtual assissant, it has a multifunctional "tavolino" table with a wireless charging pad and a leather panel embossed with the Cassina special edition logo first seen in a production vehicle, and the only car in its segment to be equipped [[Advanced driver-assistance system|Level 2 Autonomous Driving]] safety package.<ref name=":1" />

The fourth-generation Ypsilon will mark the expansion of the Lancia brand in Europe. The brand will be reintroduced in Belgium, Netherlands, France and Spain in 2024, followed by Germany in 2025. These countries are chosen in consideration of the popularity of Italian products, and the popularity of [[B-segment]] vehicles.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=New Lancia Ypsilon Unveiled Today |url=https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/lancia/press/new-lancia-ypsilon-unveiled-today |access-date=2024-02-14 |website=www.media.stellantis.com |language=en}}</ref><gallery widths="200" heights="140">
