Lancia’s new Gamma SUV promises over 620 miles of range as a hybrid

Lancia’s hybrid Gamma is credited with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, about 621 miles, for its 145-horsepower powertrain. The figure comes from the Italian brand’s own announcement through Stellantis, and it is the longest range quoted for any Gamma, ahead of the 740 km Lancia gives for its best electric version.

Several outlets rounded the same number to 620 miles. The metric original, and the missing test-cycle label behind it, are the details that decide how far the claim can be pushed for American readers, since a kilometer figure from a European press release says little about what a U.S. window sticker would show. Motor1 converts it to 621 miles, Autoblog to 620, and both are arithmetic on the brand’s number, not a second measurement.

The 1,000-kilometer hybrid figure

Stellantis’ English-language Gamma release, dated Turin, May 26, 2026, lists the hybrid at 145 HP with a range of over 1,000 km. The Dutch version of the release says the efficient hybrid variant reaches “tot wel 1000 kilometer,” or up to 1,000 km, a slightly different phrasing of the same number.

Neither release names a test cycle for the hybrid claim. That is a real gap, because a hybrid’s total range depends on fuel tank size and driving mix, and a European laboratory cycle and the EPA’s U.S. method routinely yield different results for the same car. The 1,000 km is a total range from the brand for a 48-volt mild hybrid, not an electric-only distance, and a mild hybrid cannot plug in, so the claim depends entirely on how far its fuel lasts at a steady pace.

Electric Gamma ranges on the WLTP cycle

The Dutch-language Stellantis Netherlands release labels its electric figures as WLTP: up to 675 km for the 375-horsepower all-wheel-drive version, up to 740 km for the 245-horsepower single-motor model and up to 540 km for the 230-horsepower variant. Battery sizes are not given, which leaves the electric range figures without the capacity needed to judge efficiency, and the release attaches the WLTP label only to the electric numbers, never to the hybrid’s 1,000 km.

Autoblog’s report on the car converts those numbers to miles as 460 for the mid-trim electric and up to 420 for the top all-wheel-drive version, with 335 for the base model, and lists three trims: LS, LX and HF Integrale. The Stellantis releases name the powertrains but not those trim labels, so the trim names rest on Autoblog’s account alone. Motor1’s coverage gives the hybrid as over 621 miles and likewise notes that no test cycle is named.

Paris debut and the HF Integrale badge

The car carries a name with weight. The first Lancia Gamma was shown at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show, styled by Pininfarina and powered by a 2.5-litre all-aluminium flat-four, and a second series followed in 1980. The new model is the brand’s first car of that name in four decades, and Stellantis’ Dutch release headlines it as an important step in the “Renaissance of Lancia,” the label the company has used for the brand’s relaunch.

The Gamma is a fastback crossover on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, 4.67 meters long, 1.89 wide and 1.66 high, built at the Melfi plant in Italy. Stellantis’ own description calls it a crossover fastback; “SUV” is the label several auto outlets apply, and Autoblog and Motor1 both use it.

Italy’s Motorionline reports that Lancia holds its Paris press conference on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, at 11:10 in Hall 4 of the Paris show. Three Gamma versions are on the program: the 145-horsepower LX hybrid, an electric LX and the electric HF Integrale with 375 CV and dual-motor all-wheel drive.

Autoevolution, in a Sept. 30 report, describes the HF Integrale as rated at 375 metric horsepower, equal to about 370 mechanical horsepower, and adds that the hybrid uses a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The Integrale name recalls the Lancia Delta rally car, but the Gamma version is the electric flagship, not the combustion-engined range-topper. Motorionline also notes the Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale won the manufacturers’ title in the World Rally Championship’s WRC2 class, which is the competition link Lancia is leaning on for the badge.

The Dutch release also lists an eight-year Lancia Special Warranty, extended by a year per qualifying service up to eight years or 160,000 km. Stellantis said in May that order books would open after the summer and that the Netherlands would receive the car in the fourth quarter of 2026. No U.S. availability, pricing or EPA rating appears in either release, so the 1,000-kilometer hybrid figure, and the roughly 620-mile figure derived from it, remains a European-market claim until Lancia publishes a cycle for it.
