Lancia Ypsilon Turbo 100 Brings Manual Petrol Back From €22,200

Lancia has added a sharper entry point to the new Ypsilon range. The Lancia Ypsilon Turbo 100 gives Italian buyers a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, a six-speed manual gearbox, and a starting price of €22,200 before the launch finance offer cuts the promotional entry point to €15,950.

That matters. The new Ypsilon Turbo 100 sits €3,000 below the equivalent hybrid versions, which gives Lancia a direct answer for buyers who still want petrol, manual control, predictable running costs, and a premium B-segment cabin without paying hybrid money.

Lancia Ypsilon Turbo 100 Specs: Small Engine, Strong Torque

The headline figure reads 101 CV, or 74 kW, from a 1,199 cc three-cylinder turbo petrol engine. Looking at the data, the more important number is 205 Nm at 1,750 rpm, because that torque arrives early enough to make the Ypsilon feel alert in city traffic and relaxed on extra-urban roads.

Specifically, Lancia uses a variable-geometry turbocharger, 350-bar direct injection, a Miller-cycle combustion strategy, revised piston geometry, lower-friction valve timing, and a timing chain. That technical package aims to cut internal losses while keeping low-rev response strong, which explains why Lancia can position this as a simple petrol model rather than a stripped-down budget version.

Dimensions And Packaging: More Supermini Than Old City Car

The latest Lancia Ypsilon measures 4,080 mm long, 1,760 mm wide, and 1,440 mm tall, with a wheelbase of about 2,545 mm. Converted for quick context, that means roughly 160.6 inches long, 69.3 inches wide, and 56.7 inches tall. It now competes less like a tiny legacy city car and more like a premium supermini aimed at the Peugeot 208, Renault Clio, and Volkswagen Polo.

The Turbo 100 also changes the centre tunnel. In addition, the manual version replaces the multifunction table used in other Ypsilon versions with a more conventional storage area and a physical gear lever. That move suits the car's purpose: lower price, cleaner ergonomics, and fewer distractions.

Price And Trim Structure: The Value Play Is Clear

Lancia offers the Ypsilon Turbo 100 in Ypsilon, LX, and HF Line trims. The base car starts at €22,200, while LX Turbo 100 and HF Line Turbo 100 start at €25,200, including €1,000 for road placement costs in the Italian pricing structure.

The finance offer adds an aggressive launch hook. It lists a €15,950 promotional price, 35 monthly payments of €99, and a final residual payment, with the usual finance charges and mileage conditions. From an expert perspective, buyers should compare the total cost of credit, not only the monthly payment.

Pro-Tip: Check The Real Cost Before Signing

Before choosing the finance offer, ask the dealer for:

• Total amount payable
• Final residual value
• Annual percentage rate
• Mileage allowance
• Excess kilometre cost
• Early exit terms
• Service package cost

That single worksheet will show whether the discounted price beats a normal cash purchase or a low-rate used-car loan.
