2011 Lancia Delta

2011 Lancia Delta as a brand-new grille designed to the Geneva Motor Show, also to reflect the partnership with Chrysler and the sharing of vehicles between the two brands, plus new proposals in terms of trim options and engine choices.

The 2011 Lancia Delta will go on sale from mid-March across key European markets and from June under the Chrysler badge (like the new Ypsilon) in Great Britain and Ireland.

Model for 2011, the exterior of Delta styling is similar to the one found on Chrysler's latest vehicles such as the 300 and 200 sedans, new grille design that was penned by the Centro Stile Lancia, and features horizontal instead of vertical chrome bars. Lancia also updated the Delta's trim levels which now include the base Steel, Silver, Gold and Platinum versions.

The new entry-level 1.6 MultiJet turbo diesel is Euro 5-compliant and produces 105-horsepower and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of peak torque, for a 0-100km/h [62mph] acceleration time of 10.7 seconds and top speed of 186 km/h [116 mph]. Matched to a six-speed manual gearbox, the diesel is said to return improved fuel economy (no figures were released) over the 120HP version and CO2 emissions 120 h/km.
