Lancia Kappa

The Lancia Kappa (κ) is a large prestige sedan produced between 1994 and 2001. The successor to the Lancia Thema, it represented the top of the range for the Italian brand at the time.

With its sober, elegant design by Centro Stile Lancia, the Kappa focuses on comfort, quality of finish and refined powertrains. The interior is distinguished by the use of noble materials such as Poltrona Frau leather and wood inserts, true to Lancia's tradition of luxury.

The range includes several body styles: sedan, station wagon (Kappa SW) and an elegant coupé, produced in small series by the Italian coachbuilder Maggiora. Despite its qualities, the Kappa will remain a relative unknown compared to the German benchmarks in the segment.

A total of 117,216 units will be produced before the arrival of the Lancia Lybra and later the Lancia Thesis.
