TURIN (ITALPRESS) – The fourth leg of the New Lancia Ypsilon roadshow, which saw ten Ypsilons drive through iconic places such as the Castel dell’Ovo, Maschio Angioino and the Chiaia and Vomero neighborhoods, has ended in Naples. The tour then also touched on Piazza del Plebiscito, the heart of Neapolitan culture and history, and the Centro Direzionale district, a symbol of Naples’ modernity and innovation. Naples is a city that combines the charm of history with timeless elegance, nestled between the crystal clear sea and the iconic backdrop of Mount Vesuvius. It is the home of Parthenope, a mythological symbol that inspired Nicola Sorrentino’s latest film that evokes irresistible appeal and unparalleled beauty, just like the New Ypsilon. After all, the authentic elegance of Lancia’s new model reflects the uniqueness of Naples, famous for its style that ranges from the haute couture of the Vomero and Chiaia boutiques to the ceramic art of Capodimonte. Not to mention the many facets of this ever-fascinating and original city, masterfully recounted by Academy Award winner Paolo Sorrentino in his latest masterpiece “Parthenope,””We are extremely proud of the success of the New Lancia Ypsilon in Naples, a city that represents the beating heart of Italian culture and history and that has enthusiastically welcomed our model. This compelling tour among major Italian cities is highlighting the immortal beauty of metropolises with ancient roots but fully projected into the future, just like our first car of the new Lancia era. Naples, with its streets rich in history and modernity, was the ideal stage to showcase what the Ypsilon has to offer. Our goal is to ensure our customers an unforgettable experience made of elegance and innovation,” said Luca Napolitano, CEO of the Lancia brand. The New Lancia Ypsilon then crossed Via Toledo, with its boutiques and characteristic shop windows, a place where Italian fashion and elegance meet. Just like the New Lancia Ypsilon – designed, developed and styled in Turin – whose sinuous shapes are inspired by the models that have written the brand’s history, as well as the round taillights, a clear reference to the Lancia Stratos, and the iconic goblet present on the front that is now revisited through three LED light beams. In addition, the New Lancia Ypsilon is the first Stellantis production car equipped with the S.A.L.A. system, the virtual, intelligent interface that ensures a comfortable driving experience consistent with Lancia’s effortless technology. In addition, the Italian brand’s new creation is also best-in-class in the premium B hatchback segment, thanks to the most comprehensive equipment in the class, large 10.25″ display, best standard parking aid system, richest exterior lighting system in terms of technology and extension, as well as the only model in the segment equipped with Level 2 Autonomous Driving as standard equipment.The New Ypsilon is also a car designed to ensure practicality in everyday life, just like juggling the charming alleys of Naples. In fact, its compact size makes it perfect for tackling city traffic, while the assisted parking system is ideal for typical tight maneuvers in the city’s busiest areas. The trunk, spacious for a city car, offers versatile cargo capacity, ideal for everyday needs or for those who like to travel, such as for a day on the waterfront or a trip to Posillipo. In addition, onboard technology is designed to provide a connected and safe driving experience. This is evidenced by the infotainment system, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which allows you to manage calls, messages, music and navigation intuitively and without distraction. Finally, the New Ypsilon’s tour of Naples touched on the Vomero neighborhood, known for its lively atmosphere, elegant pedestrian streets and breathtaking views. Thanks to its great handling and excellent driving dynamics, tackling the curves and slopes of Vomero was a pleasant and effortless experience, even on the most challenging stretches. In particular, the performance of the hybrid version equipped with the e-DCT automatic transmission, which combines maximum efficiency with maximum reliability, ensuring an extremely smooth driving experience and, in some conditions, even electric mobility, was superlative.
