The replacement for the Y10, the Ypsilon (or Y) was introduced late in 1995. Based on a shortened Punto platform and powered by similar engines from the FIRE range (1242cc with 60bhp and 1371cc with 80bhp) the Lancia was however, not a particularly similar car. A completely different design, from the Lancia Styling Centre, and Lancia's policy of marketing the Y as a luxurious supermini, with a corresponding level of equipment, maintained it's individuality.

In 1997 the 1242cc engine gained 16 valves (86bhp) although the 8V version continued to be sold in parallel and a basic model, the Elefantino Blu using a 8V 1108cc (55bhp) engine, was introduced. This was joined in 1998 by the Elefantino Rosso, a more sporting version with a close-ratio gearbox, lowered suspension and the 16V 1242cc engine.

At the Paris Motorshow in 2000 Lancia revealed a slightly facelifted and revised Ypsilon range. Externally the front bumper showed the biggest change, whilst detail changes were made both outside and inside, the latter including the instruments and materials used. Satellite navigation also became an option. The engines remained the same basic units with revised control units to enable them to meet the stricter Euro 3 emissions laws.
