Update: The dark screen in Apple Carplay is controlled by the lights (which were on all the time). Thanks for all you who suggested this was the problem! My understanding is you need to have your headlights on when driving on the autostrada in Italy. As the Lancia is an Italian car, this means it's a bad decision to key day/night mode off the headlight switch rather than a light sensor like many other cars.

@Geffect94 Ай бұрын

In Italy you need to have headlights on on the autostrada UNLESS the car is equipped with DRL (which the Ypsilon has). Nevertheless I'll admit it's a bit of a weird situation

we got it as a Chrysler Ypsilon for a couple of years here in the UK so the body WAS sold in RHD making that central cluster useful

the new " ypsilon " is a peugot built somewhere else in europe. currently, only the 500 and panda are built here but apparently the panda will be built in poland and I think it's going to be the same for the 500. currently, italy makes some scooters and motorbikes.

To be fair, the Ypsilon that you drove was introduced in 2011 and the Kia in 2017 car. The Lancia is from an older generation and all the facelifts over the years can't disguise that.

I rented one of those for about 10 days, about a month ago. I thought it was a great little car. It had all the features that I value. An effective air conditioning, Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and the reasonably smooth ride. The letter is very important considering the rut of Italian roads outside the Autostrada. It also, amazingly, did not have a single rattle or a squeak. It was, however, not very quick.

@saggioperduto_7566 Ай бұрын

Hi, maybe the screen is in night mode beacause the headlights are on? Im Italian and this car is not so new, but it does have everything that you need, and a lot of people here in Italy buy it because is something for some stylish, easy to park and drive, and is familiar in a 2024 where cars , even the ones that should be cheap ones, are too complex and tech for someone that just uses a car to poit A to point B or an elderly. I respect it because it kept Lancia alive, even if Lancia is no more something like years ago... nice little car, but not grat.

I’m a Brit living in New Zealand. Like you I rented and Ypsillon in Italy around two months ago. I was very excited to get a Lancia. One of the most soulless cars I’ve ever driven. And gutless yes. I came away wanting to buy a panda but there are only around 100 in the whole of New Zealand. And they’re all automatic twin airs. Loved seeing the first generation pandas in every small town.

When launched in 2011, the rear LED lights were sort of a distinct feature, not many competitors (if any) used LEDs back then (not even the 500 which only introduced them in the restyling).

GN plates means september-october 2023 delivery, one of the last production lots before the end of sales circa february 2024. The issue with carplay dark mode is likely the time, which i think you have in 12h format but the car expects 24h format so it believes you are driving by night.

The hybrid is just a belt driven starter motor alternator dynamo combined unit device. It adds many horsepowers. A Ford Ka is also on the same platform. The interior format being the same as the Italian collection, with the high mounted stick ideally placed for rapid shifting. If you want a side grip release handbrake the Panda is the only choice though (or a 500L which shares Panda bits, maybe even a platform, and can seat up to 7 in the extended boot variant).

This is using the 1.0 3-cyl hybrid Fiat engine, that was before Fiat merged with Peugeot, these days Fiat is using the Puretech 1.2 unit. Lancia Ypsilon always had the instrument binnacle in the middle, I remember it from the 1997 Ypsilon which was based on the Fiat 176 (Punto mk1) platform, I loved that car especially the 1.2 16v 86bhp blu elefantino version. What I find interesting is that the info screen on the binnacle and the steering buttons are exactly the same as the ones I had on my 2006 Grande Punto 1.9JTD Sporting and my 2013 Fiat Bravo 1.6JTD.

Wonder if you've driven one, and what your thoughts on it would be! The 1.2L NA Hybrid motor feels really peppy in such a light weight chassis, and it's served me well with so much interior space that I've been able to move all my stuff from my apartment in a single trip.

My sister had a Y here in Scotland when they first came out , TBH she fitted the contents of her student let in it when she finished university, granted that was not a lot of stuff but it was quite spacious, it was a throw away car though like most of these little Italian superminis are I have a feeling the continentals don't care that much about interior quality and handling like us Brits do , who want Germanic quality in our cars. I don't think she kept the car more than a few years but it did her fine it was simple motoring. She has FWD Volvo XC30 now and that has a little three cylinder engine in it , not a great car to drive, my sister has a knack of buying dull cars but they seem to do her well, probably because driving above 60mph for her is frightening. I am old enough to remember the Lancia Y10 when they were in the UK when they were here they were always interesting oddball little cars.

I've had two Fiat 500 hire cars this year. The more recent model I had in Sardinia was badged as a Hybrid and it worked brilliantly. I realise now that the older (post 2016 facelift) one I had in Spain for our summer holiday was clearly the same system as the Ypsilon here, and it was utterly useless! My ex wife was quite keen on getting an Ypsi Red&Black edition at one point, but was talked into spending less on a used Corsa 1.2. Not sure which would have been worse, but at least the Chrysler looked distinctive!

that's a 5-door mild-hybrid Fiat 500. Rented a Cabrio one of those in Portugal. It was not quick and you could tell the design had aged in the overall refinement department, but it was a blast nevertheless. I like the Lancia too. Mainly because it's so rare outside of Italy which i think makes it more interesting than a Kia and whatnot. Some direct competitors might be better cars but they're all shitboxes anyway, so who really cares? I used to be a huge car guy, but the cars i liked, i could not afford so somewhere along the way i stopped caring altogether.

We have an Ypsilon here in the UK, badged as a Chrysler due to Lancia's poor historic reputation. Our Red and Black model is quite stylish if a little dumpy but it really doesn't have any zip to it. Plus the mpg from the 1.2 FIRE engine is only around 38 in town. Also, the instruments aren't changed for RHD so the speedo is miles away. The ride on our lumpy roads is OK for the driver but terrible for the passengers, especially in the back. Decent stereo though.

In the UK we have a strange romantic idea of Lancias and Alfas of the past, rather forgetting that they broke down all the time and disintegrated with rust in a few years. They were like having an Italian girlfriend, all your mates with a Fiesta were jealous of your conquest. Of late, Lancia seems to be just a name they throw onto any random car they have in group, while Alfa is a bit more focused they just seem so ordinary inside. The whole Fiat Chrysler PSA group just seems a bit of a mess that gets along with home brand loyalty in Italy and France. The Ypsilon just seems to be the answer to a question that was never asked, produced by accountants rather than anyone with a passion for cars. The rear lights look awful, or perhaps it is just that they remind me of the rear lights on the last generation Jag XJ, which it is still traumatic to think about.

What ruined this car for me was that it is no longer a shortened Punto, it's a lengthened 500 instead. And it feels everywhere - the overall shape is different and less pleasing for my taste, there's less room inside, especially significantly less shoulder room, it's also lighter which makes it less reassuring through the bends. It even managed to ruin the door closing sound which was much more upmarket in the previous gen, leagues above even the car it was based on. Still, it managed to sell better in Italy alone than the whole Alfa Romeo range sold globally, keeping the brand afloat, so that has to mean something.

You know when you've overboiled an egg and it gets angry and tries to bulge out of the shell, then the yolk covered in sulphur turns out that puke grey colour? Just as my mind was making jokes about the egg shape I realized the colour LOL. That's not a car, that's a dystopian ground vehicle. When they outlaw personal vehicle ownership and car become part of a pod public transportation network like that old Fiat/Lada thing. That's what Lancia aims to achieve with this car. Jeremy Clarkson would have said this is a car that looks like it wants to kill itself. If they had made it autonomous we'd have woken up one day seeing in the news how thousands of these cars driven themselves (unoccupied) off of cliffs after having used the native Google A.I. to text their suicide notes to their owners. I haven't seen a car this depressed since the Audi A2, but at least the A2 was built to top quality. Saddestly is, for years until I watched this video I never realized that THIS CAR is one of my country identifiers, meaning when I see cars that look like this I can tell it is Italy.
