Chrysler shows off new Lancia-based Delta and Ypsilon models

The spawn of the Chrysler-Fiat merger has made its way to the English market, in the form of the 2012 Chrysler Delta and 2012 Chrysler Ypsilon. If they look familiar, that’s because these cars are cribbed directly from the Lancia range.

The Ypsilon is available with Fiat’s 0.9-liter TwinAir, which earned International Engine of the Year honors. If that’s too small, there’s a 1.2-liter four-pot and 1.3-liter turbodiesel available, as well. The Delta gets two different 1.4-liter options, including a 140-hp, 1.4-liter MultiAir four-cylinder. On top of the 1.4s, there are also 1.6- and 2.0-liter engines available.

Both cars have just gone on sale in the UK, and Chrysler hopes these reworked Italians will improve the brand’s meager share across Europe.
