The new Lancia Gamma returns after four decades as a premium crossover

After a 42-year absence from the global automotive landscape, the legendary Lancia Gamma name officially returns to the forefront. The Italian manufacturer, undergoing a major revitalization process under the Stellantis group umbrella, has published the first official images of the new generation of the model.

The paradigm shift is radical, however: if the historic model (1976-1984) established itself as a fastback sedan and a luxury coupé, the new Lancia Gamma is reborn as a mid-size premium crossover, adapted to the demands of the contemporary market.

An avant-garde design: From the classic grille to the SUV Coupé silhouette

Visually, the new crossover takes on the new aesthetic language inaugurated by the recent Ypsilon generation.

• Front: It is dominated by a futuristic light signature, with extremely thin LED strips that almost merge in the middle with a vertically arranged optical block. The main lights are subtly integrated into the bumper, flanked by optimized air intakes.
• Profile: Reveals a fluid silhouette, where the retractable handles that retract into the doors for increased aerodynamic efficiency stand out. The two-tone five-spoke wheels bring added dynamism.
• Rear area: Gamma adopts a personality-filled, SUV Coupé look, with a roof that dips sharply towards a well-defined spoiler, slim LED taillights and a diffuser integrated into the bumper.

Digitalized interior and Italian-style elegance

The interior of the new Lancia Gamma relies on digitalization and a minimalist atmosphere, strongly influenced by the elegance and design of Italian furniture.

The dashboard houses a digital instrument cluster for the driver and a central screen dedicated to the multimedia system, designed to take over a large part of the car's functions through the intelligent SALA interface. However, the Italians have kept a set of physical controls in the central area for quick access to essential functions. Immediately below these is a space dedicated to wireless smartphone charging and a console divided into a small, elegant tray.

Generous dimensions: Developed on the STLA Medium modular architecture, the new Gamma measures 4.67 meters in length, 1.89 meters in width and 1.66 meters in height, promising generous interior space and a high level of comfort.

Performance to match: Up to 375 HP and record range

The new Lancia Gamma will be available at launch with four engine options, covering both hybrid and fully electric technology:

Powertrain Version	Power	Estimated Range	Drivetrain / Details
1.2 MHEV (Mild-Hybrid)	145 hp	over 1,000 km	Petrol + Electric Motor (28 hp)
Electric Base	230 hp	540 km	Fully electric
Electric Long Range	245 hp	over 740 km	Optimized battery pack
Electric Performance	375 hp	675 km	Dual motors, All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

Availability and price estimates for the Romanian market

The new model will be assembled in Italy at the Melfi plant. Lancia will open order lists towards the end of this year, just after the summer season, with the full public debut and the presentation of final details to take place in the autumn.

On the Romanian market, the first copies of the new crossover are expected to arrive in showrooms at the end of this year or early next year.

Although official prices have not yet been revealed, the brand's premium positioning allows for a realistic estimate:

• Base hybrid version (145 HP): It will most likely start at a price of around 42,000 - 45,000 euros.
• Fully electric variants: They will start at around 50,000 euros (for the 230 HP engine) and can exceed the threshold of 60,000 - 65,000 euros for the top configuration with all-wheel drive and 375 horsepower.
