Lancia Gamma: A New Crossover Fastback with Electric and Hybrid Options

The new Lancia Gamma is a crossover fastback designed in Italy, offering hybrid and electric powertrains with up to 740 km range. Orders open after summer.

Lancia has officially revealed the new Gamma, a model meant to revive the brand's presence in both headlines and the European premium segment. This isn't a throwback to the large Lancia sedans of old. Instead, it’s a crossover fastback built on the STLA Medium platform, designed and engineered in Italy. Production will take place at Stellantis’ Melfi plant.

The Gamma’s dimensions place it at the upper end of its segment: 4.67 meters long, 1.89 meters wide, and 1.66 meters tall. The body features a sloping roofline, short overhangs, and a light signature reminiscent of the new Ypsilon. Lancia is clearly avoiding a retro take on its former flagships. The Gamma is meant to look modern, with Italian restraint and none of the excessive aggression.

The engine lineup will be broad. The base option is a hybrid with 145 hp and a total range of over 1,000 kilometers. That's aimed at buyers who aren't ready to go fully electric but want lower consumption and ownership costs.

The real focus, however, is on electric versions. Lancia expects variants with 230 hp and over 540 km of range, a 245 hp version with more than 740 km of range, and a top-tier all-wheel-drive model with 375 hp capable of covering up to 675 km. If those numbers hold in the production spec, the Gamma could compete not just on design but also on real-world long-distance practicality.

For Italy, the manufacturing side matters too. The Melfi plant has been upgraded in recent years for Stellantis’ electrified models, and the Gamma is meant to prove that Lancia has more than just a storied name — it has a solid industrial foundation. The model won’t be limited to the home market: it's being readied for Europe, where the brand will have to go up against strong German and French competitors. Orders are expected to open after the summer.

Details on the interior, infotainment, driver assists, and pricing are still under wraps. But the direction is clear. Lancia is aiming for a comeback built on comfort, electric range, Italian design, and domestic assembly. The Gamma doesn’t have to win over fans of the old Lancia. Its job is harder: to convince new buyers that the nameplate once again matters on the European stage.
