MORE IMFO Lancia Ypsilon HF Line - Interior, corsa driving
The new 280-hp Lancia Ypsilon and the Ypsilon HF Line made their debuts today on the Balocco Proving Ground—one of the most technical and exciting circuits in Europe—inaugurating the new, high-octane “Lancia HF Track.” The two new releases mark yet another decisive step in Lancia's Renaissance, which moves forward with purpose and determination while continuing to deliver on its promises—from the debut of the New Ypsilon in 2024, to the arrival of the HF version in 2025, and the confirmation that the new Lancia Gamma will be produced at the iconic Melfi plant in 2026 (the year of the brand’s 120th anniversary).
The Ypsilon HF is the first high-performance electric compact car, featuring 280 hp, 345 Nm of torque, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.6 seconds, a Torsen differential, and an Alcon braking system.
Designed for those seeking authentic and finely tuned sporty thrills every day, the new Ypsilon HF line brings the HF DNA to a 1.2, 110-hp mild-hybrid powertrain with 48V that guarantees a top speed of 190 km/h in 9.3 seconds.
With a look inspired by Lancia’s racing heritage, both vehicles feature the new Red Elephant logo, dedicated bumpers, dark badges, an electric-blue dashboard, and sports seats. The technological package is fit for a higher category, featuring level-2 autonomous driving, a 10.25” digital cluster, S.A.L.A. infotainment with a 10.25” display and new HF graphics, wireless charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
An expression of the brand's most competitive and high-performance spirit, the new Lancia Ypsilon HF features a lowered suspension, a wheel track widened by 3 cm, and assertive, muscular forms designed for performance and inspired by the brand’s most radical, iconic cars. For these reasons, the Ypsilon HF stands as the new halo car in Lancia’s lineup: a strategic model designed to serve as the purest expression of the brand’s values. Performance is nothing short of exceptional: equipped with a fully electric 280-hp (207 kW and 345 Nm of torque), the Lancia Ypsilon HF accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, reaches a top speed of 180 km/h, and offers 370 km of range with standard tires (based on the WLTP cycle) thanks to a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery (400V) and fast charging of up to 100 km in 10 minutes.
With elements that instantly express the HF identity, the style has been perfectly aligned to its sporty character. The dedicated front bumpers featuring an HF logo, the 18” alloy wheels, the rear diffuser, and the wheel arches create a muscular and assertive profile, which has been enhanced by dark badges, a wheel track widened by 30 mm, and a suspension lowered by 20 mm. The stylistic work embraces Lancia’s new Pu+Ra language—pure and radical—offering a modern interpretation of iconic design elements such as the Stratos-inspired circular taillights and a pared-down, sculpted profile.
The interiors also reflect the evolution of Lancia’s sporty heritage. The Delta Evoluzione-inspired, laser-cut Econyl sport seats (with a “cannelloni-style” design on the HF Line), the perforated leather steering wheel with the HF logo, the aluminum pedal set, the new graphic interface of the S.A.L.A system, and the dashboard with colors that shift from blue to orange create an immersive and technological environment aligned with the model’s dynamic spirit. Additionally, the Ypsilon HF performance is enhanced by a Torsen limited-slip differential that optimizes traction during cornering and improves safety in low-grip conditions.
The Alcon braking system—featuring monobloc four-piston calipers and enlarged 355-mm discs—ensures power, stability, and fatigue resistance; meanwhile, the fine-tuning of the chassis and suspension—with rigidity increased by up to 67% at the front and 153% at the rear anti-roll bar—guarantees precise and engaging driving dynamics without compromising comfort. Yet, the Ypsilon HF not only offers power and dynamism but also advanced technology, state-of-the-art safety, and superior comfort. Standard features include a 10.25” digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, automatic climate control, wireless smartphone charging, the SALA Hub, and ambient lighting, in addition to level-2 autonomous driving capabilities: automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, traffic sign recognition, and front and rear cameras.
