02.12.2003 THE LANCIA LYBRA RANGE HAS BEEN REVISED TO OFFER HIGHER STANDARDS OF LUXURY

The Lancia Lybra range has been revised to offer more opulent standard equipment for all specifications, a different colour range and new prices.

Firstly, the LS version (equipped with 1.6 16v, 1.8 16v and 1.9 JTD power units) offers a CD-changer, foglights, Madras cloth trim, 15" alloy wheels and new aluminium effect interior profiles. The LX specification (available with 1.8 16v, 2.0 20v, 1.9 JTD and 2.4 JTD power units) is still more comprehensive and offers the following over and above the current specification list: satellite navigation system with GSM phone and new Suhara interiors. In addition, the Lancia Lybra Business (available with the 1.6 16v and 1.9 JTD) introduces new design chrome wheel hubs. Everything is offered at more or less the same prices as before, plus four new colours: Rossini Grey, Angelic Blue, Veronese Green and Donizetti Green. The new 2004 range product array is concluded by the prestigious Emblema specification (on show in Bologna) that offers the following extras: satellite navigation system with GSM phone, Cruise Control and CD-changer.

This is the version for people who wish to complement the style of the model with a touch of originality and class, plus retro details reminiscent of great cars of the past: that unmistakable two-tone body, those seats in soft tobacco leather.

The Lancia Lybra Emblema is thus a car of character that combines the much-loved style of the original model with a refined touch of eccentricity. Starting from the black roof that stands out against the body shade (an option exclusive to the Station Wagon version). This crisp look continues along the back of the vehicle to blend in with the darkened back window and rear side windows. Privacy windows afford passengers greater discretion and hide the luggage compartment from prying eyes in the case of the Station Wagon.

Inside, the Lybra Emblema offers seats trimmed with soft tobacco leather with relief work that is now also available in beige.

The standard equipment array is so opulent it approaches the standard of exclusivity offered by the Phedra and Thesis: dual zone climate control, satellite navigation system with GSM phone, Cruise Control, ABS with EBD, ESP (the latter is standard on 2.0 petrol and 2.4 JTD versions), CD-changer, front airbags, sidebags and window-bags, leather interiors and 16" alloy wheels treated with light metalluro. The following are options: Hi-Fi system with 7 speakers, Bose Sound System, rain and mist sensor and xenon gas discharge headlights. The vehicle is available as a saloon and Station Wagon with three engines: the 85 kW (115 bhp) 1.9 JTD and the 110 kW (150 bhp) 2.4 JTD, both with Common Rail direct injection and the petrol-driven 110 kW (150 bhp) 2.0 five cylinder 20v.
