The Lancia Y, launched in 1995, is a compact city car that replaces the Autobianchi Y10 and inaugurates a new strategy for the Italian brand in the small premium car segment. Unlike most city cars at the time, the Lancia Y emphasized style, personalization and a refined interior.
Based on the Fiat Punto platform, it features a three-door body, a central dashboard and the Kaleidos personalization program, allowing customers to choose from a wide range of colors and interior combinations.
Produced until 2003, the Lancia Y was a great success in Europe, particularly in Italy. A total of 802,605 units were built before the arrival of the Lancia Ypsilon.

I didn't drive it much, just for a week as a replacement for my broken-down Twingo 1. It was black with a profusion of cream alcantara on the inside. Very pleasant to drive, although I suppose its verve compared with the Twingo was mainly due to the accelerator pedal settings (all the power in the first half of the stroke ^^).
