The Lancia Gamma is going to become the SUV that will represent the brand in the international market

The Lacia Gamma was presented a few months ago and will soon become the flagship of the Italian brand. After the Ypsilon, this SUV aims to help the brand return to being a reference in the market. The electric SUV will become the company’s standard-bearer, so there is great anticipation about what this vehicle will offer SUV enthusiasts.

Like the Ypsilon, it will present a different image from what we know of the Italian brand. The proportions of the Gamma are well suited to shaping a premium SUV, offering suitable solutions so the user finds what they are looking for in a car of this type. The design recalls the Pu+Ra HPE prototype, although work has been done to give it a more mature look, ready for production.

To shape the electric SUV of Lancia, the STLA Medium platform has been used, an architecture employed in other Stellantis models that have been quite successful in other brands within the group. It will allow combustion, electric and hybrid engines to be offered, providing the best solutions for SUV users.

Engines and batteries

Regarding the batteries, we will find battery packs of 80 to 100 kWh, allowing ranges of between 600 and 800 kilometres. A figure that will guarantee efficient use and allow long journeys without having to worry about battery charging.

There is no concrete data on the power of the different versions, but a plug-in hybrid version is expected with a power of around 200 CV, and a hybrid variant of around 145 CV. The most powerful version will be the HF, offering a total of 500 CV.

Manufacturing in Italy

Production of the Lancia Gamma will take place at the Melfi plant. This follows a strategy to boost production in Italy, where investment is being made to strengthen the automotive industry in the Italian country. Lancia has set out to become a prestige brand in Italy and is designing its strategy to take the appropriate steps to reach this goal.
