The future Lancia Ypsilon will be produced in Zaragoza
- The Stellantis group has announced that the next generation of the Lancia Ypsilon (B-segment sedan), scheduled for 2024 and which will take over the platform of the current Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa, will be produced at the Spanish site in Zaragoza, alongside the Opel Corsa , Opel e-Corsa and Peugeot e-208. The game of musical chairs which consisted in transferring the Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel Crossland from Zaragoza to Trnava (Slovakia), while the Peugeot 208 would be transferred from Trnava to Zaragoza will therefore be accompanied by the transfer of the Lancia Ypsilon from Tichy (Poland ) to Zaragoza.
- The Lancia comes a long way because the former management of the Fiat-Chrysler group (in the person of Sergio Marchionne) had planned not to replace the Ypsilon and to abandon the brand in the early 2020s. The merger of PSA with FCA in 2021 who created the Stellantis group changed the strategy concerning the Lancia brand and the management of the new group had announced that not only the Lancia Ypsilon would have descendants but that other new models would appear under this brand in 2026 and 2028 ( including a C-segment sedan called Delta and a D-segment electric SUV).
- In addition, Lancia will no longer be confined to the Italian market but will be deployed throughout the European continent.
- The future Lancia Ypsilon will therefore adopt the CMP platform (it is not yet entitled to the STLA Small platform) and will be equipped with the 1.2 liter petrol engine which will also be available in mild-hybrid like the current Fiat 500 and Panda. A 100% electric version will complete the range, like the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa.
