Video Summary
Here's the requested summary of the video review:The Lancia Ypsilon electric car has an aesthetically pleasing and characteristic design, particularly the front with the chalice and full LED headlights. It has a two-tone color scheme and 17-inch wheels. The rear features unique LED taillights with a 'Y' indicator for the turn signals.
Its battery is 51 kWh and can charge at 100 kW. Charging at slower public stations is at 7.4 kW, but an 11 kW option is available.
The door handles are unusually recessed and hard to open, especially for individuals with long fingernails. The trunk has a standard capacity, with a high loading threshold. The car is 4.08 meters long and lacks keyless entry unless bundled in an optional expensive package.
The interior has mixed material quality with some good materials alongside cheap plastic. There is a small table with a wireless charging pad for phones that interferes with the driver's legroom, with mixed feedback from other passengers. Back seat legroom is tight, but rear USB-C charging ports are available. Seat upholstery is well-styled.
The infotainment system is generally coherent. The car's instrument cluster is well designed. The car lacks an auto-hold feature. It also has a spongy and inconsistent braking system. Fuel consumption is super-efficient without air conditioning, but consumption is more in city driving with air conditioning. It performs well in the tests for driver assistance. The reviewers noted noticeable cabin noise during the test.
For a B-segment car, this EV’s suspension setup and turning ability are good. There are three drive modes. The car is heavy due to battery placement. Some reviewers note some understeer due to the car's weight. It can be driven a maximum of 250 km per charge.
The reviewers recommend the hybrid version. At over €40,000, this electric version is considered overpriced. Purchasing online to bypass dealers lowers the price to €35,400. Some reviewers think a more reasonable value for the used model is $15-16K. While praising the design and ADAS performance, the high price and interior material choices were seen as significant drawbacks.
