Stellantis new brand, Lancia has launched Pu+Ra HPE electric vehicle concept, which the company claims will serve as its vision for the next ten years.
Lancia Pu+Ra HPE is influenced by the furniture industry, and the automaker has collaborated with Cassina, an upscale furniture company, to design the interiors.
The carmaker demanded interiors that guarantee the energy of Italian homes.
Lancia’s concept electric vehicle has a more streamlined design because it is based on the company’s new design language.
The electric vehicle’s exterior features a few electric details as well as dominant shapes like circles and triangles.
A wide and expansive view is provided by a circular roof.
A sunblind-like structure resembles the horizontal lines on the rear window of the vehicle. Different windows are bigger in size, which permits adequate light that further raises the home-like inclination.
According to Lancia, the interiors are influenced by contemporary Italian homes and are composed of pure forms with great attention to detail.
The dashboard’s clean lines, round tables in the center console, and two free-standing single armchairs create a welcoming atmosphere.
Luca Napolitano, Chief of the Lancia brand, expresses, “Beginning with the new Ypsilon, our vehicles representing things to come will be propelled by the Lancia Pu Ra HPE: About 70% of the car’s touchable materials are made of environmentally sustainable materials.
Although the concept electric vehicle’s technical specifications have not been made public, the automaker claims that its future electric vehicles will have a range of over 700 kilometres and only require ten minutes to fully charge.
According to Lancia, the New Ypsilon will go on sale in 2024 in both electric and hybrid versions, and from 2026 on, the company will only produce electric vehicles.
