| The new Lancia Y will make
its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show early next month. These official
images show the high specification version that will offer a plexiglass
dual "sky" roof among its features. As Lancia aim to move the new model
upmarket, the luxury interior will include leather and Alcantara cloth
seats, multi-speaker Bose cd-player, electric seats, multi-zone climate
control and Fiat's infotelematic CONNECT system, which includes SatNav,
mp3, DVD and internet access.
Engines will be headed by
the all-new 70bhp 1.3-litre Multijet 15v common-rail diesel engine. Petrol
units are expected to include an entry-level 80bhp 1.2-litre 16v FIRE unit,
which will be joined by new 100bhp 1.4 and 118bhp 1.6-litre engines. Eventually
a high performance version will be equipped with either a 1.8 or 2.0-litre
16v.
Powered through the front
wheels, the new Y will offer Fiat's new Dualmode gearbox, while the gearstick
follows the Multipla's high positioned style. |
