Lancia Ypsilon 2006–2011 car dimensions: 3810 mm long, 1704 mm wide and 1530 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,020 kg. Braked towing is 900 kg.
The cabin centres the instruments high on the dash with a raised gear lever. Manual climate control is available and dual-zone automatic climate with air quality and solar sensors is fitted on higher grades. Blue&Me Bluetooth hands-free with USB audio is offered. Cruise control and rear parking sensors are available on selected trims. ESC with hill holder is optional. No advanced driver aids are present.
Boot space measures 215 litres with seats in place. The split-folding rear bench expands capacity to 895 litres for larger loads.
Braked towing capacity reaches 900 kg on most engines with 400 kg unbraked. Payload is around 440 kg including the driver. The car suits light urban duties but lacks heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension for demanding work.
The cabin feels surprisingly roomy for a compact 3-door hatchback, with good headroom and a sliding rear bench that expands luggage space from 215 litres. Higher grades use quality fabrics, Alcantara or leather. Dual-zone automatic climate control is available and keeps the interior comfortable. The optional Granluce glass roof floods the space with light and can open for an open-air feel.

Engines cover 1.2 and 1.4 petrol plus 1.3 Multijet diesels, all Euro 4. Combined fuel use sits at 5.5 l/100 km for the base 1.2 petrol and drops to 4.3-4.5 l/100 km on the more efficient diesels. Urban figures rise to around 7 l/100 km on petrol versions.
Maintenance follows a 30,000 km schedule. Oil and filter changes are due every 30,000 km or 24 months on most engines after 2006, or every 12 months if annual mileage stays low. Timing belt replacement is critical on petrol units.
Standard safety includes ABS with electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, and front airbags. Window bags appear on some higher trims. Side airbags, ESP, hill holder and brake assist upgrades remain optional. The soft suspension prioritises comfort over sharp handling.
Shared Fiat parts keep routine work straightforward. Regular fluid checks, pollen filter changes and attention to the cooling system help the car stay reliable for daily use.
