New Lancia Gamma Brings Back HF Integrale With Up to 375 HP
Lancia has revealed the production version of the new Gamma, a 4.67-metre fastback crossover that will offer a 145-hp hybrid and three battery-electric powertrains, including a revived HF Integrale flagship with up to 375 hp. The Italian brand presented the vehicle on October 9 ahead of its public premiere at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.
A multi-energy flagship for Europe
The Gamma rides on Stellantis’ STLA Medium architecture and is designed, engineered and built in Italy. Lancia describes it as a C-segment crossover, although its fastback roofline and 4,672-mm length give it proportions closer to a compact premium SUV. The company says the model is intended for Europe; it has not announced U.S. availability, pricing or a precise retail launch date.
At 1,898 mm wide and roughly 1,664 mm tall in electric form, the Gamma uses a 2,791-mm wheelbase. Lancia claims a 0.25 drag coefficient, helped by an active front grille, a flat underbody, optimized wheels and a split rear spoiler. Those are manufacturer figures and have not been independently tested by Chiefs Review.
Hybrid and electric powertrains
The entry powertrain is a front-wheel-drive 48-volt hybrid rated at 145 hp and 230 Nm of torque. It combines a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a small integrated electric motor. Lancia lists a 10.4-second 0–100 km/h time, fuel consumption of 5.3 to 5.7 litres per 100 km and a total driving range of 1,040 km. Those efficiency numbers are European manufacturer estimates rather than EPA ratings.
The battery-electric range starts with a 230-hp front-wheel-drive Standard Range model using a 73.7-kWh net battery. Lancia claims 543 km of combined WLTP range and a 7.7-second 0–100 km/h time. The front-drive Long Range version increases output to 245 hp, uses a 97.2-kWh net battery and carries a claimed 741-km WLTP rating.
Both front-drive EVs accept up to 160 kW of DC charging. Lancia says the Long Range model can move from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes under suitable conditions, while the Standard Range version takes 31 minutes. Route planning, battery preconditioning, one-pedal driving and vehicle-to-load power are also included in the company’s specification sheet.
HF Integrale returns as the performance model
The range topper revives the HF Integrale name after three decades. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system normally produces 350 hp and can reach 375 hp when the battery is above 90%, according to Lancia. Maximum torque is listed at 509 Nm, with a claimed 5.1-second run from 0 to 100 km/h and up to 676 km of WLTP range from the same 97.2-kWh net battery used by the Long Range model.
Adaptive suspension and five drive modes distinguish the HF Integrale. The all-wheel-drive system can rely mainly on the front motor in ordinary conditions to reduce energy use, while the performance settings alter accelerator response, steering and suspension calibration. Until independent tests are available, the acceleration and range figures should be treated as Lancia’s targets.
Cabin space and technology
Lancia lists 560 litres of luggage capacity and says the new model provides 25% more rear legroom than its benchmark. The cabin combines a 10.25-inch instrument display with a 16-inch central screen, while higher trims can add a large head-up display. The SALA interface coordinates audio, climate and lighting, and a voice assistant based on ChatGPT can control selected vehicle functions.
Driver-assistance equipment includes available semi-automated lane changing, predictive adaptive cruise control and speed-assistance functions. Level 2 assistance is standard on the HF Integrale and optional or trim-dependent elsewhere. The driver remains responsible for supervising the vehicle.
Why the Gamma matters
The Gamma expands Lancia beyond the Ypsilon and gives the brand a higher-volume crossover with hybrid and electric choices. It also turns the historic Integrale badge into an electric performance submodel, a significant change for a name associated with Lancia’s rallying years.
The vehicle will be produced at Stellantis’ Melfi plant, where the company says it invested €43 million in quality-related upgrades. Chiefs Review has also covered the other electric debuts planned for the 2026 Paris Motor Show.
