Detailed analysis of the Lancia Delta Executive 1.9 Multijet Twin Turbo DPF 190 CV (2010-2011)
General description
The 2008 Lancia Delta represented the rebirth of a mythical name, transformed into a premium compact that challenged conventions. Far from the brutality of its rally ancestor, this Delta focused on elegance, comfort, and an unmistakably Italian style. The Executive version with the 190 HP 1.9 Twin Turbo engine was the ultimate expression of this philosophy, combining strong performance with a luxury and exclusivity that made it unique in its segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the heart of this Delta beats with surprising force. The 400 Nm of torque push from very low revs thanks to the twin-turbo system, delivering vigorous acceleration and lightning-fast overtakes that press you into your seat. It's not a radical sports car; its suspension seeks an exquisite balance between comfort and agility, masterfully filtering out imperfections. The six-speed manual gearbox connects you with the mechanics, allowing you to squeeze a diesel engine that feels full and powerful at all times.
Design and aesthetics
Design is its soul and its greatest asset. Every line of the Lancia Delta is a statement of intent, a sculpture in motion. The imposing front grille, the headlights that flow into the fenders, and that very personal rear with its floating taillights create a timeless silhouette. Inside, the Executive trim envelops you in a rolling lounge atmosphere, with exquisite Poltrona Frau leather and a sliding rear bench that offers space worthy of a larger sedan.
Technology and features
For its time, the Delta Executive was a technological showcase. It was equipped with advanced systems like the Reactive Suspension, which adapted the damping in real-time to improve comfort and safety. Also noteworthy was the 'Magic Parking' semi-automatic parking assistant and the Blue&Me connectivity system developed with Microsoft, which integrated telephony and music via Bluetooth and USB, demonstrating its calling as a premium and avant-garde car.
Competition
In the competitive premium compact market, the Lancia Delta faced giants like the Audi A3, the BMW 1 Series, and the top-spec versions of the Volkswagen Golf. However, the Delta didn't play in exactly the same field. While its German rivals prioritized dynamic perfection and sobriety, the Lancia offered a different soul, seducing through passionate design and superior comfort.
Conclusion
The Lancia Delta 1.9 Twin Turbo Executive is not a car chosen with the head, but with the heart. It is a work of Italian design, a haven of comfort, and a wolf in sheep's clothing thanks to its powerful engine. It represents a different way of understanding luxury, more focused on warmth and emotion than on cold efficiency. It is the perfect choice for the driver who values aesthetics and well-being on board above all else.
