In Brief
During the 2026 Paris Motor Show, the Lancia Gamma sparked strong enthusiasm among early French buyers. The 100% electric versions, notably the sportier HF Integrale variant, dominated initial orders, revealing a clear preference for electric power in this model. In one week, 56% of Gamma orders were electric, and the HF Integrale accounted for 31% of these requests. This dynamic launch signals the public’s appetite for novelty and underscores Lancia Gamma’s current positioning in the French market.
At the Lancia display at the Paris Motor Show 2026, order books filled quickly. Opened the day before the show opened in France, the first orders for the new family car piled up. Behind these already well-filled books, an early signal emerges about preferred powertrains.
Over the course of the show week, French buyers did not scatter their choices between hybrid and electric. The 100% electric versions already dominate the early orders, and the sporty variant attracts more than expected. This hints at the Gamma’s real market positioning in France, even if all remains to be confirmed. The show’s numbers already say a lot.
At the Paris 2026 Show, the Gamma Takes Center Stage on the Lancia Stand
The very first French Lancia Gamma was ordered from Casa Lancia La Rochelle as soon as the books opened. But it was on the Lancia stand at the Paris Motor Show that the novelty found its audience. Unveiled as a world premiere at this major international show, the wagon/well-equipped family variant generated hundreds of business inquiries. The teams on site report several orders registered each day, in an atmosphere highly favorable to Lancia’s return.
By week’s end, the Gamma accounted for a quarter of the sales recorded by Lancia on its Paris stand. In terms of information requests, nearly two-thirds of the leads captured by the brand related to this new model. These leads don’t all convert into purchase orders, but they measure the public’s appetite for novelty. For Alain Descat, head of Lancia France, this dynamic also validates the work done on the stand. “The Lancia Gamma was one of the world premieres of this Paris Motor Show, and the public response was commensurate with the event. I’d like to especially commend the entire team on the Lancia stand throughout the week. Their energy and smiles were contagious and they contributed to the success of Lancia Ypsilon and Lancia Gamma during the Motor Show!”, he told Stellantis Media.
Initial Lancia Gamma Orders Tilt Toward 100% Electric and the HF Integrale
Beyond the show floor atmosphere, the first-order data paint a fairly clear picture of preferred powertrains. Over the show week, 56% of the Lancia Gamma orders were for 100% electric versions, versus 44% for hybrids. Within that total, the Lancia Gamma HF Integrale, 100% electric, with all-wheel drive and 375 horsepower, accounted for 31% of orders. Practically, this means roughly one out of every two Gamma orders already features the HF badge. The automaker has not released overall volumes, but this breakdown offers a first snapshot of visitor preferences.
This profile is clearly oriented toward electrification. In France, 100% electric cars represented about 41% of new registrations in September 2026. Across France, Lancia had 1,127 registrations by the end of September 2026, followed by 1,183 units as of October 27, almost all Ypsilon models. The Gamma Hybrid 145 hp starts at €39,900 in France. The electric lineup starts at €45,900, with the HF Integrale hitting €59,900. In this pricing framework, seeing the HF Integrale group 31% of orders remains a number to watch as deliveries begin.
