Lancia is preparing a major step in its revival with the new Lancia Gamma, a premium crossover fastback set to make its world premiere at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. Unveiled as part of the Italian brand’s 120th-anniversary celebrations, the new Gamma revives an iconic name from the 1970s while introducing a modern design, advanced technology and an all-electric version with more than 740 kilometres of range.
Built in Italy on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, the new Lancia Gamma combines elegant styling with a spacious interior, improved aerodynamic efficiency and a strong focus on comfort. The lineup will also include the performance-focused Gamma HF Integrale, which brings back one of Lancia’s most recognisable sporting badges after a 30-year absence.
With its combination of premium design, long-distance capability and electrified powertrains, the new Gamma is intended to strengthen Lancia’s position in Europe’s competitive crossover market.
New Lancia Gamma Brings Italian Design to the Electric SUV Market
The new Lancia Gamma measures 4.67 metres long, 1.89 metres wide and 1.63 metres tall. Its defining feature is a sleek crossover fastback silhouette, with a tapered rear end designed to combine visual appeal with aerodynamic efficiency.
The design follows the direction established by the Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept and the latest Ypsilon, continuing the brand’s strategy of blending its heritage with contemporary automotive design.
Rather than following the conventional boxier shape of many SUVs, the Gamma adopts a more flowing profile. The result is a vehicle intended to appeal to drivers who want the practicality of a crossover without sacrificing the elegance traditionally associated with Italian luxury cars.
The model is also significant for Lancia’s broader European ambitions. It targets the C-UV segment, one of Europe’s most important vehicle categories, where established competitors are fighting for buyers seeking a balance of space, efficiency, comfort and technology.
Electric Lancia Gamma Promises More Than 740 km of Range
One of the new Gamma’s most important features is its fully electric powertrain. Lancia claims the electric version will deliver more than 740 kilometres of driving range, positioning it as a potential contender for buyers who want an electric SUV capable of handling long-distance journeys.
The figure is a manufacturer claim, and the final range will depend on the certification cycle, equipment and market specification.
Aerodynamics play a central role in achieving this target. Lancia quotes a drag coefficient of just 0.25, which helps reduce the energy required to move the vehicle through the air. The company also highlights a rolling resistance figure of 4.7 kg/t, another factor contributing to efficiency.
The Gamma will use Stellantis’ STLA Medium multi-energy platform, which supports different electrified powertrain configurations. Alongside the fully electric model, the lineup will include a hybrid version with claimed CO₂ emissions of 120 g/km.
Offering both electric and hybrid options gives Lancia greater flexibility in a market where charging infrastructure, driving habits and customer preferences continue to vary across Europe.
Spacious Interior and 560-Litre Boot
Despite its fastback styling, the new Lancia Gamma is designed to deliver practical family-car space. The cabin follows the brand’s Italian Home Feeling philosophy, emphasising comfort, a welcoming atmosphere and carefully considered materials.
Lancia claims the Gamma will offer a class-leading 560-litre luggage compartment, making it suitable for family holidays, business travel and everyday use. Rear-seat passengers are also promised 25% more legroom, helping the model stand out among similarly sized crossovers.
Technology is another major part of the package. Standard equipment will include dual 10-inch and 16-inch displays, while Level 2 driver-assistance capabilities will help support driving in traffic and on longer journeys.
The SALA PRO infotainment system will serve as a central part of the digital experience. It will be accompanied by Relax, Energize and Entertainment modes, allowing occupants to adjust aspects of the cabin experience to suit different situations.
Natural voice recognition, powered by the SALA HUB, is intended to make it easier to control vehicle functions without navigating multiple menus.
Lancia also says the entry-level trim will include an extensive standard equipment package, with higher versions adding further technology and refinement.
Lancia Gamma HF Integrale Delivers Up to 375 HP
The return of the HF Integrale badge is one of the most significant aspects of the new Gamma. After a 30-year absence, the name will once again represent Lancia’s performance ambitions, connecting the modern crossover with the brand’s celebrated motorsport history.
The Lancia Gamma HF Integrale will produce 350 horsepower, with output rising to 375 hp when the battery charge exceeds 90%, according to the manufacturer. An all-wheel-drive system will help put that power on the road, while the company quotes a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.1 seconds, without rollout.
Adaptive suspension will be standard on the performance version, highlighting Lancia’s intention to combine stronger performance with controlled handling and everyday comfort.
The HF Integrale will also offer a claimed range of up to 676 kilometres. That is lower than the more than 740 km quoted for the standard fully electric Gamma, but still represents a substantial figure for a high-performance electric crossover.
The HF Integrale name carries considerable historical significance. Lancia built its reputation in international rallying through successful competition cars and distinctive road-going performance models, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. The new Gamma HF Integrale aims to reinterpret that sporting identity for the electric era.
Sustainability Extends Beyond the Powertrain
Lancia is also placing emphasis on the materials used inside the new Gamma. More than 60% of the interior materials are described as coming from sustainable sources, representing more than 600 kilograms of such materials throughout the vehicle.
The approach reflects a broader effort to reduce the environmental impact of the car beyond its powertrain. Material selection, energy efficiency and the use of electrified propulsion all form part of the model’s sustainability strategy.
Before its introduction, the Gamma project underwent 720,000 kilometres of testing, according to Lancia. This testing programme is intended to validate the vehicle’s performance, durability and suitability for different driving conditions.
New Lancia Gamma Could Be a Key Model in the Brand’s Revival
The new Gamma represents more than the return of a familiar nameplate. It is a central part of Lancia’s attempt to rebuild its position in Europe with a range of vehicles that combine distinctive Italian styling, advanced technology and electrification.
Its headline specifications are promising: more than 740 km of claimed range for the fully electric version, a 560-litre boot, a 0.25 drag coefficient and a performance-oriented HF Integrale producing up to 375 hp.
However, its ultimate success will depend on factors that have yet to be fully established, including pricing, final market specifications, charging performance and how it compares with rival electric SUVs.
The 2026 Paris Motor Show will provide a major opportunity for Lancia to present the Gamma to a wider audience. If the production model delivers on its efficiency, comfort and technology targets, it could become an important addition to Europe’s increasingly competitive electric crossover market.
For Lancia, the new Gamma is an attempt to bring together the elegance of its past and the demands of modern electric mobility in a vehicle designed for a new generation of customers.
