The new Lancia Gamma will be presented in 2026 and will be the flagship of the renewed brand, whose offer for many years consisted only of the Ypsilon model. What we do know about the Gamma is that it will be built in Melfi, Italy, and that it will be based on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, which is also used by the Peugeot 3008, Opel Grandland and the new Jeep Compass (coming in 2025).
Today, surprisingly, the first photo from the manufacturer arrived. It shows the rear part of the car and nothing else. However, we can already recognize some features of Lancia's new design language. First, there is the Lancia lettering, specifically just the last 'A'. We first saw it on the Pu+Ra HPE Concept and then on the new Ypsilon. A simple, angular style with all the lettering running across much of the tailgate.
Next, the eye catches the eye with a horizontal LED light strip with a vertical segment that goes down from the middle and ends directly above the Gamma inscription. Practically mirror image of Pu+Ra HPE and Ypsilon fronts. The rest remains a complete mystery.
What we know: The new Lancia Gamma will have a fastback design. In other words, it will be a sedan with a coupe-style sloping rear window. See the Citroën C5 X. Like the French car, the new Italian flagship will be around 4,7 meters long, entering the segment of the Audi A5, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The new Gamma is said to be electric, although the STLA Medium platform leaves the door open for a proportion of internal combustion engines. It is actually a multi-energy platform that can use battery drives as well as mild hybrid or plug-in drives. We refer you again to the Peugeot 3008 or the Opel Grandland.
