69th GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: LANCIA k
Prestige, power, reliability, quiet running and the ability to guarantee an excellent quality of life on-board: these are the main characteristics of the Lancia k saloon, Station Wagon and Coupé, qualities that make these cars the best possible heirs to the Lancia tradition.
Three models from the vast range (22 versions in all) are exhibited in Geneva: a saloon, the Lancia k 2.4 5-cylinder with automatic transmission, a Station Wagon, the Lancia k with 2.0 5-cylinder 20-valve turbo, and a Lancia k Coupé 3.0 V6 24-valve with automatic transmission.
The engines fitted on the Lancia k convert available power into safety, flexibility and outstanding comfort. The 2.4 5-cylinder JTD engine delivers 136 bhp (100 kW) and a peak torque of 31 kgm at just 2,000 rpm, and takes the Lancia k saloon to 202 km/h, while the Station Wagon reaches 200 km/h. Consumption is sparing: 7.7 litres for 100 km in the combined cycle for the saloon and 7.8 litres for the Station Wagon.
The 5-cylinder, 2.0 20-valve turbo engine is available on the saloon, Station Wagon and Coupé. With a power output of 220 bhp (162 kW), torque of 31.5 kgm at 2,750 rpm, this engine takes the saloon and Coupé to a top speed of 243 km/h (235 km/h on the Station Wagon).
The engine range is completed by the aspirated 2.0 and 2.4 (the former is only available on the saloon and Station Wagon, while the latter is also offered on the Coupé), and the 3.0, available on all three versions. The Lancia k saloon also offers the three engines combined with automatic transmission, the 2.0, 2.4 and 3.0, while the 3.0 engine combined with automatic transmission is also available on the Station Wagon and Coupé.
The Lancia k is offered with a choice of three specification levels: the refined, elegant LS and LX and a sportier outfit specifically for the saloon and the 2.0 turbo 20v petrol version of the Station Wagon.
On all versions you breathe a warm atmosphere of refined luxury. The upholstery is velour on the LS, Alcantara® on the LX and the Coupé, and perforated Alcantara® on turbo versions. Soft Poltrona Frau leather is available with the specific Kaleidos Leather option on the Coupé.
The assertiveness of the 2.0 turbo saloon is accentuated by details such as the exclusive colours, mouldings in gun-barrel grey anodised aluminium around the side windows, the trims of the body-coloured door handles, the 16" alloy wheels with 5 stud bolts and 6 1/2" channel (already fitted on the Coupé and now offered on this version as well as on the 3.0 saloon).
In addition to its great comfort, the different versions of the Lancia k stand out for their original line, which contains some attractive references to Lancias of the past. On the outside, the elegance of the cars is underlined by details such as the body-coloured rubbing strip on the front and rear bumpers.
A number of prestigious options ensure a very high level of reliability and safety. They include the radio-navigation system, sidebags, and xenon headlights with automatic alignment adjustment, which improve night-time visibility but do not dazzle oncoming cars.
