Lancia firm has long been considered a kind of "problem assets" automotive group Fiat. That is why Sergio Marchionne, who has a reputation as a great reformer, he decided to seriously address the revival of the brand. He chose the specific methods to revive the once well-known company. Now, Lancia is a kind of a new unit group Chrysler. Therefore, the model American company make up half the entire range of the Italian company.
As a result, in Geneva, presented new Lancia, among which was a five-door compact hatchback Lancia Ypsilon third generation. The machine is designed on the platform of the Fiat 500, which also borrowed from the two-cylinder turbo TwinAir 95 hp and the volume of 0.9 liters. More advanced versions will have a 1.3-liter turbodiesel Multijet 95 hp and 1.2-liter engine produces 69 hp In addition, we plan to develop a model with a 1.2-liter engine (69 hp), which will work in either the gasoline or LPG.
Without exception, all engines will be installed on these modifications fully meet the requirements of Euro 5. In addition, all cars Lancia Ypsilon will be equipped with "start-stop", as well as tires Goodyear EfficientGrip with low rolling resistance.
Compared with its predecessors, which appeared in 2003, the new Lancia Ypsilon increased by 30 mm in length (3.84 m) was 20 mm below (1.51 m) and 30 mm narrower (1.67 m). The vehicle is now even more in line with the concept of "premium". Trim materials, workmanship, and a glass roof allocate Lancia Ypsilon among his rivals.
In addition, the range of three cars filled with Chrysler.
One of them will now be sold under a new name Lancia Thema, which was created in the image of its American counterpart. All that made the Italians - it changed the bumpers and grille, resulting in increased vehicle length of 40 mm. Under its hood, situated perfectly known "Six» Pentastar capacity of 292 hp (353 N • m) and a volume of 3.6 liter, eight-room with the latest "automatic". The Italians claim that a car with this engine drives the first hundred in 7.2 s, consuming 8.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
Convertible and sedan Chrysler 200 - also known as Lancia Flavia - must be to the soul of European buyers. Its open modification is virtually the only European gig D-class. Therefore, in the absence of competitors, it will feel quite confident. In turn, the sedan will have hard times, as in the European D-class turns serious struggle, so even the origin of the Lancia Flavia is unlikely to be a strong argument for making a decision in his favor.
The only justifiable is the emergence of a minivan models Lancia Grand Voyager, which is perelitsovannym Chrysler Town & Country, which, due to its relative "freshness" for several years will be able to perform successfully in the automotive European market, but already marked by Lancia. Lancia Grand Voyager is planned to equip the "native" 3.6-liter engine capacity of 292 hp, running on gasoline, as well as a 2.8-liter diesel engine producing 163 hp from Fiat.
