The Italian Lancia Ypsilon or Lanica Y

The third generation Ypsilon is sold as the Chrysler Ypsilon in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The third generation was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011.

The first drawings of the new generation (Type 846) are developed in late 2006 and early 2007 by the Lancia Style Centre, directed by Alberto Dilillo, well before the alliance between Fiat and Chrysler, the final model takes only a few read the changes from the original model especially in the grille that recalls the style of most Chrysler with horizontal slats abandoning the two lobes of the Lancia grille with vertical slats.

The third series of Ypsilon also adopts the five-door body with the rear door handles hidden in the upright (solution similar to that adopted by the Alfa Romeo 147, 156 and Giulietta).

The platform base is no longer that of Fiat Punto but to reduce costs is based on the Fiat Mini platform, the same as the Fiat 500 and Panda, also the production was moved to Poland in Fiat's Tychy plant. The production includes 100.000 units per year at full capacity. The front suspension use the classic independent wheel MacPherson struts while the rear uses a torsion beam with stabilizer bar. Much of the style echoes the forms of Lancia Ardea as many solutions as the "flying bridge" (the waist line that goes through the rear window pillar) are inspired by the Lancia Delta third series.
The Ypsilon Type 846 is the result of an investment of 500 million euros (150 for development, 40 for the industrial structure and the rest for investment product), the body is 3.84 meters long with a wheelbase of 2.39 meters and the cabin is approved for 5 seats. At the launch of Lancia Ypsilon provides for up to 600 possible combinations of customizing the car with 16 exterior colors (including 4 B-color version).

The new Ypsilon offers unusual accessories like automatic parking system (Magic Parking), the bi-xenon headlights and LED rear lights in addition to the Start & Stop on some engines. All models are equipped as standard with 4 airbags and stability and traction control (ESP and ASR) with Hill Holder, and ABS with EBD. Versions for the European market are the Silver, Gold intermediate and Platinum the most luxurious. Like all generations of Ypsilon the Type 846 also offers the instrumentation at the center of the dashboard.

The Ypsilon Type 846 is designed to be sold in many markets, for the first time produced a version with RHD for the Anglo-Saxon markets (UK and the Republic of Ireland) where it is sold as a Chrysler Ypsilon (because of the absence of sales Lancia) is also exported to Morocco and Israel with the Lancia brand leveraging Fiat dealer network. In 2012 it began selling in Japan version of the Chrysler brand, while the U.S. model is not imported to avoid internal competition with the Fiat 500, which is produced at Chrysler's Toluca plant in Mexico
