Lancia Ypsilon Mild Hybrid (2025)โฃ Real-World โขFuelโค Economy Falls Short of Official Claims
Rome, Italy – September 11, 2025, 09:15 CEST – Independent testing reveals โคthe 2025 Lancia Ypsilon Mild โHybrid achieves considerably higher fuel consumption inโ real-world driving conditions than the figures officially reported by the manufacturer.The discrepancy, observed during โฃrigorous testing โฃby โฃ Motor1.com Italia,raises questions about the โaccuracy of WLTP โ(Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test procedure)โฃ ratingsโค and impacts prospective buyers evaluating fuel efficiency. This news arrives as lancia relaunches the Ypsilon, a key modelโค in Stellantis’s strategy โto revitalize the โคhistoric โItalianโข brand, and as consumers increasingly prioritizeโ economy amidst fluctuating fuel prices.
The Ypsilon Mild โHybrid, intended toโ offer a moreโฃ economical optionโฃ within the Ypsilon range, demonstrated an average โขconsumption of 18 kilometers per liter (approximately 50.5 mpg) during the test. โขThisโค contrasts with the official WLTP โcombined cycle figure, which is notably lower.โ The testing focused on replicating typical urban and extra-urban driving scenarios, exposing theโค gap between laboratory conditions and โeveryday use. The findings suggest potential overestimationโฃ of fuel economy benefits associated with the mild-hybridโข system, perhaps influencing purchasing decisions for environmentallyโ conscious drivers.
