World premiere for the Lancia Gamma at the Paris Motor Show
Lancia is using the 2026 Paris Motor Show to unveil its new compact SUV, the Gamma. In addition to a petrol version, there will be three electric variants, including an HF Integrale—though not in Germany. The Lancia Gamma will remain unavailable in the German market for the foreseeable future.

In 2024, Lancia heightened anticipation by announcing a new model named Gamma. Fifty years after the debut of the original 1976 model and coinciding with the brand’s 120th anniversary, the new Lancia Gamma is celebrating its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in 2026. The Italian brand’s flagship is set to bridge the gap between its heritage and current Stellantis technology.
However, those hoping for a test drive at their local Lancia dealer in Germany will be disappointed for the foreseeable future. Lancia has not announced any plans to offer the Gamma in Germany, as the brand’s focus markets remain Italy, France, Spain and the Benelux countries.
With a length of 4.67 metres, a width of 1.89 metres, and a height of 1.63 metres, the Gamma fits into the compact crossover segment. Its sloping rear, split roof spoiler, and optimised airflow design give it an impressive drag coefficient of 0.25. Behind the large tailgate, there is a boot capacity of 560 litres. The electric versions of the Gamma weigh up to 2.276 tonnes (with all-wheel drive).
Inside, a round storage surface catches the eye, positioned like a side table between the driver and passenger. It houses controls and a wireless charging pad. The seats are made from sustainable materials: recycled textile fibres, synthetic bio-foam, and mineral-treated artificial leather. According to the manufacturer, the rear offers exceptionally generous legroom for its class.
The cockpit combines a 10.25-inch instrument display, a 12-inch head-up display, and a 16-inch central touchscreen. The Lancia Gamma can also be controlled via voice commands and utilises ChatGPT. Level 2 driver assistance systems include a lane-change assistant activated by the turn signal and an adaptive cruise control system.
Three electric variants
The Lancia Gamma is based on the STLA Medium Multi-Energy platform, which supports both electric and internal combustion drivetrains. The entry-level variant features a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with a mild hybrid system. Beyond this, there are three electric variants: the first offers front-wheel drive with 169 kW and 343 Newton metres of torque. This version uses a smaller 73.7-kWh NMC battery (net), providing a WLTP range of just over 540 kilometres. The Gamma is electronically limited to 190 km/h. With the larger 97.2-kWh battery in the Long-Range version, the crossover achieves a range of around 740 kilometres.

Lancia Gamma also available as the electric HF Integrale
The sporty HF Integrale revives the iconic nameplate as a new electric sports model after a 30-year hiatus, featuring a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with a continuous output of 257 kW. With a battery charge level above 90%, peak power increases to 276 kW with 509 Newton metres of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 5.1 seconds. Despite this performance, the 97.2-kWh battery in the all-wheel-drive model delivers a WLTP range of up to 676 kilometres.
The HF Integrale comes with an adaptive suspension as standard. Using direct current, the battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes, adding approximately 100 kilometres of range in just six minutes. Additional features include automatic charging stop planning with battery pre-conditioning, one-pedal driving, and a Vehicle-to-Load function for powering external devices.
