Small, neat and unique – so many women define their favorite car. This is what Lancia Y is like and we offer it to the "boss's wife". The original styling of this car brought some freshness to the world of small cars. Even the banal door handle is placed differently than usual and it also adds style. There are also surprises in the interior. Instrument panel, with white dials of indicators, is located in the middle, which is perhaps less practical, while innovative. The shelf that runs across the entire width of the vehicle is extremely useful and it's a pity, that other manufacturers did not appreciate the idea. The prose of life is not so gray anymore, when we look at the colored upholstery of the seats. Lancia Y is produced only with 3-door body and rear access, folding couch is niecd impeded. In the trunk of the volume 215 dm3 will fit basic purchases, and when more space is needed, the rear seat can be folded down.
From the range of three engines used in Lancia Y, we recommend a drive unit with a displacement 1,2 dm3 of capacity 44 kW. There are also engines with a capacity to choose from 1,1 dm3 (40 kW) the 1,2 dm3 (63 kW). Power unit with power 44 kW has two valves in the cylinder and is not top of the line, it is, however, a sufficient and economical source of propulsion. Acceleration time to speed 100 km / h is 13,3 seconds, and the noise level at constant speed 100 km / h in 4th gear can be considered quite good – 69 dB. Lancia tends to tilt in bends, due to the soft characteristics of the suspension. On the other hand, it copes quite well with road unevenness, and driving comfort, for a vehicle of this size, he is amazingly tall. At the front, there are guide columns based on transverse wishbones and a stabilizer, the rear beam is guided by longitudinal arms and sprung with coil springs and horizontal shock absorbers.
Lancia Y, unlike other Italian kids, is distinguished by high quality of workmanship and low failure rate. For many buyers, these are quite important arguments. If it's a bit lacking in luxury, is the nickname "elefantino", suggests, that, as in the case of a baby elephant, you can tell about it – small is beautiful and graceful.
