The Ypsilon is sold under the Lancia brand in its home country of Italy. It is equipped with Fiat's "500 TwinAir" downsizing turbo engine, a 0.9-liter, two-cylinder unit that pursues both environmental performance and driving dynamics. In normal mode, it achieves a spirited drive with a maximum output of 63kW (85ps) at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 145Nm (14.8kgm) at 1,900 rpm.

The limited edition "Ypsilon Purple," appearing now with a run of 100 units, is based on the entry-grade "Gold" model. It comes standard with 16-inch aluminum wheels and bi-xenon headlights with auto on/off function and headlight washers, which are standard on the higher-grade "Platinum" model. The price is set at 2.35 million yen, the same as the base grade.

The exclusive body color, "Purple Aurora," is a calm, deep purple that emphasizes the Ypsilon's elegant design. The interior features a sophisticated two-tone color scheme of beige and black, creating a refined space.
