Price

It looks quite different from other cars from the brand, especially on its car-shaped jelly moulds. At the first glance, you might feel that you’ve seen this before. It is the rebadged version of Lancia, which had a long run in UK.

Lancia didn’t have a great reputation and later it was replaced by Dedra. The automaker in corporation with Fiat Group, wants to expand the brand by transferring into the mid-size and super-mini markets by re-badging Delta and Ypsilon respectively.

Ypsilon is a very unique little minicar, whose rear end is attractive same as front grilled end. Ypsilon will be offered in UK market and the brand is expecting to set a new style with this car.



It will be powered by small 1.2-L and 875cc twin turbo cylinder petrol engine that delivers 69hp and 85hp respectively. A new 95hp 1.3-L diesel engine together with fuel saving automatic stop and start system will also be offered.

With little twin cylinder engine, TwinAir’s economy is expected to be at 55-60mpg and is capable of cruising at 70mph.

If you want a super-mini with Italian flair, Ypsilon may prove tempting.

Tenth Generation Chrysler 300 (2005-Present)

The new generation of Chrysler 300 is designed with the same power-plant for the lower-end models; except for this, it does not share anything else with the outgoing model.

The lower end models come equipped with the same engine as that of the outgoing version, but the higher-end models integrate a V8 engine for generating an output power greater than 340 hp, thus refining the sophistication of Chrysler.
