A year after the alliance between Lancia and Chrysler, today the two brands become one, founding a new dynasty that embodies the best of two industrial cultures: the exuberant style, flair for delivering a “stress-free experience” and functionality all associated with the Chrysler brand, coupled with the taste, innovation and love of manufacturing that have always distinguished Lancia.

The fruits of this new union are the Lancia cars being given their world unveiling at the Geneva International Motor Show: new Ypsilon, new Thema, new Flavia Concept, new Flavia Cabrio Concept, new Grand Voyager and new Delta. They are, without exception, unique products that eloquently express the values shared by the two brands – from stylishness and technological innovation to a century-long history and the will to excel in the future – and they mark the natural complement to an alliance which was sealed just 12 months ago, but has already become a successful partnership in record time, with huge potential.
