Real-world fuel consumption

22,332 Lancia Ypsilon cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol hybrid versions average 6.1 l/100 km on the road, against 5.0 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 24% more.

FuelCarsOn the roadWLTPDifferenceAverage distance so far
Petrol hybrid22,3326.15.0+24%18,000 km

Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the Lancia Ypsilon uses 6.1 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 920 litres: €1,856 at this week's average price in Italy, its largest market in Europe.
