Why was the Ypsilon the third best-selling car of 2023?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not a Fiat, not a Panda: in 2023 the third best-selling car in Italy was the Lancia Ypsilon, with 44,891 registrations (about +9.6% on 2022, when it was 40,970). Within the Stellantis group, it ranks second. If you want to see one in person, in Rome there is this Ypsilon 1.0 FireFly Hybrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Ypsilon 1.0 FireFly Hybrid (mild hybrid)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A five-door that looks like a three-door. This series of the Ypsilon (project 846) was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011 and built in Tychy, Poland, until 2024. It uses the Fiat Panda platform and is the last Ypsilon with a five-door body: the rear handles are hidden so that it looks like a three-door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020 the Hybrid version arrived: a 1.0 FireFly three-cylinder engine with 69 hp, paired with a small 12 V belt-driven motor-generator and a lithium-ion battery. It is a mild hybrid, meaning it does not run on electric power alone but helps the engine use less fuel, especially in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four things you may not know about the Ypsilon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. First place among hybrids.<\/strong> In 2023 the Hybrid version was the best-selling hybrid city car on the Italian market.<\/li>\n\n
  2. A growing share.<\/strong> In the B segment it reached 14.9%, the second-best share in its history.<\/li>\n\n
  3. Seats from the sea.<\/strong> Some fabrics are made of Seaqual Yarn, a yarn made from plastic recovered in the Mediterranean.<\/li>\n\n
  4. Design with a memory.<\/strong> The “lid”-style bonnet recalls the Lancia Ardea, while the rear window, the “flying bridge” roof and the LED lights look to the Delta.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Does a used Ypsilon Hybrid make sense in Rome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, because it measures about 3.84 metres by 1.68, with a wheelbase of 2.39. Not much more than a city car, but with five seats and a boot that goes from 245 to 940 litres with the seats folded. In road tests it is credited with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
