_new-lancia-ypsilon-driving-video.webp "The New Lancia Ypsilon is a smart city car that stands out in the urban environment for its ease of driving and handling: agile in the city but also lots of fun on the twists and turns on a hill. To pass this test, Lancia based its work on the multienergy Common Modular Platform (CMP), a segment-leading modular facility perfect for both full-electric motors and hybrid engines. The design and production team has worked to obtain a car that is agile, dynamic, can maintain remarkable grip and stability on the road, and is at the same time equipped with great comfort, guaranteeing a level of absolute premiumness.<br/>Work has focused on four main areas: onboard well-being, sound quality, production quality, and driving pleasure. In terms of onboard well-being, a specific soundproofing package has been developed to create a relaxing and soundproof environment, regardless of road surface conditions and the car’s speed. A specific set of gaskets has also been developed for the doors, to improve the sound quality when they are closed, as well as a new design for the handles to convey a tangible and extensive feeling of robustness. As for production quality, investment has been made in staff training, dedicated equipment and processes, to achieve a level of competition typical of a premium brand and to guarantee the end customer the best quality currently available on the market.<br/>In addition to these interventions, attention has been paid to driving pleasure: the team has widened the wheel track by 24 mm, to ensure better weight distribution and handling for the new model. The steering system has also been calibrated for the utmost driving precision; last but not least, work has been done to obtain a specific setup for the suspension, more dynamic but never too stiff.")
