A new chapter in Lancia history began in February 2024 with the debut of the fourth-generation Ypsilon hatchback.
In October of the same year, the Italian brand announced the Gamma crossover, reviving a name once used from 1976 to 1984 on a luxury fastback and coupe styled by Pininfarina.
Now Lancia has released official photos of the new model and confirmed several key technical details.
The new Gamma will be offered with hybrid and fully electric powertrains, giving the reborn Italian brand a much more important role inside Stellantis.
A Coupe Crossover With Lancia Styling
The Gamma’s design follows the same visual direction introduced by the new Ypsilon. It features split LED lighting, active openings in the lower part of the front bumper, clean body sides, flush door handles, and a thin glossy black surround around the wheel arches.
The roofline does not fall as sharply as on the DS N°8 or Peugeot 408, even though all three models use the same STLA Medium platform. Still, the Gamma keeps the recognizable shape of a coupe crossover.
The black rear pillars also give a subtle visual reference to the original Gamma Berlina fastback.
The new model measures about 183.9 inches long, 74.4 inches wide, and 65.4 inches tall. That makes it roughly 5.9 inches shorter and 3.1 inches taller than the DS N°8.
A Cabin With A Distinct Lancia Touch
The interior layout has clear similarities with DS models. The dashboard includes a digital instrument cluster and a central infotainment screen running Lancia’s SALA system, while climate control is integrated into the touch interface.
The main difference will be Lancia’s signature tavolino shelf on the center console, designed to resemble a small table. The cabin also gets unique ambient lighting, different door trim, and a three-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls.
Given Lancia’s positioning, higher-quality materials are expected. The official photos show black fabric, white synthetic leather, metallic details, and the edge of a panoramic roof.
The goal is clearly to give the Gamma a more elegant and lounge-like atmosphere than its Peugeot and DS relatives.
Hybrid And Electric Versions Are Planned
Lancia has not released every technical detail yet, but the hybrid version has already been confirmed with 145 HP. Its total driving range will exceed 621 miles.
The system will most likely be based on Stellantis’ familiar 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which is already used across many models in the group.
The rest of the Gamma lineup will be fully electric. The base electric version will produce 230 HP and offer more than 336 miles of range.
A stronger version will deliver 245 HP and more than 460 miles of range, while the top model will use all-wheel drive and two electric motors with a combined 375 HP. Its range should reach about 419 miles.
Production Starts In Italy
More details about the new Lancia Gamma will be announced later.
Order books are scheduled to open this fall, while pricing has not yet been released. Production will take place at Stellantis’ plant in Melfi, Italy, where several technically related models are also built.
For Lancia, the Gamma is more than another crossover. It is a major test of whether the historic Italian brand can rebuild its identity through design, comfort, electrification, and a more premium position inside the Stellantis lineup.
