A few weeks by the expected debut set for Geneva (3-13 March), the Group has finally unveiled the first image of the new Lancia Thema, the flagship of the pending House Chivasso created by the operation of co-branding with the "twin" Chrysler 300C. The new Lancia Thema marks the return of the premium sedan segment, segment E, left vacant since 2009, with the disappearance of the unfortunate Thesis, distributed in seven years in only 16,000 units.
But it also marks the return of important Thema name, used by the four-door, designed by Giugiaro produced from 1984 to 1994 and sold over 356,000 units.

5.08 m long, 1.507 m high, wide and 1891 with a wheelbase of 3,051 mm, the new Thema reflects the large size of the 300c, with a new front grille dominated dall'inedita Lancia characterized by a grid of large size enhanced by horizontal bars. On either side of the grille are headlamps with LED technology and DRL function that give harmony to the whole personality and style.
Notwithstanding all are nice on the whole, we would have preferred a greater differentiation than the Chrysler sedan, possibly with the introduction of a completely redesigned front. Living room with Italian top-level equipment The major differences with the car but find the Chrysler interior, where the interior of the new Lancia can count on quality materials by quality tailoring as Poltrona Frau leather upholstery matched to the many details in Alcantara, wood trim on dashboard, center console and door inserts, as well as accessories can count on considerable stage effect as the panoramic glass sunroof.
Obviously the technological equipment has no gap by providing accessories like the info-telematic system UConnect features a large 8.4-inch touchscreen with easy-to-use controls, and allows you to connect and manage their personal devices (mobile or breeding MP3), premium audio system with nine speakers plus subwoofer for a total of 506 watts of amplification and how the navigation system.

It starts from the 3.6-liter V6 gasoline Chrysler Pentastar source from 292 hp and 360 Nm of torque with an average fuel consumption of 8.3 l/100km and reported emissions of 199 g / km of CO2.
With these numbers the Thema reaches a top speed of 230 km / h and accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 7.2 seconds, all with the help of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. As the supply of diesel will be available on 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 made by the VM, available in capacities from 190 to 224 hp, the latter with a maximum torque of 550 Nm, and both offered with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
One of the novelties of greater impact will be latrazione back, that will equip the new Lancia and put it on par with the most renowned German sedans. In addition, the new sedan Turin can count on a superior handling offered by large tires that can reach up to 22 inches combined with the suspension system front and rear multi-link with trailing scheme that keep the wheels perpendicular to the road when cornering, ensuring maximum grip.
