Lancia Gamma HF Integrale undercuts its DS N°7 twin by €11,620
Same battery, same motors, same Melfi line, and €11,620 between them
Lancia has published prices for the new Gamma ahead of its public debut at the Paris Motor Show, open from 12 to 18 October. The dual-motor HF Integrale costs €59,900 in France and Italy, €11,620 less than the DS N°7 AWD that shares its battery, motors and assembly line, and that gap says more about Stellantis's brand plan than any spec sheet.
Gamma HF Integrale costs €59,900, the DS N°7 AWD from €71,520
The Lancia Gamma HF Integrale costs €59,900 in France and Italy, while the DS N°7 AWD Long Range starts at €71,520 in France. Underneath, they are the same car: two motors, a 97.2 kWh battery and the STLA Medium platform, assembled on one line in Melfi alongside the Jeep Compass. DS only sells its dual-motor version in Étoile trim and above, so its cheapest AWD car is already a well-equipped one. Lancia's price includes adaptive dampers, a Focal hi-fi and a heated steering wheel. The DS claims 679 km WLTP, the Lancia 676 km. Belgian and Dutch prices for the HF Integrale follow later.
Lancia Gamma's 375 hp only arrives above 90 percent charge
The Gamma HF Integrale delivers its full 375 hp only when the battery is more than 90 percent charged, and 350 hp the rest of the time. The DS N°7 works the same way, quoting 350 hp with a boost function worth 375 hp. In practice 350 hp is the figure for most journeys, which still makes the HF Integrale the most powerful road car Lancia has built, with 509 Nm and a claimed 5.1 seconds to 100 km/h. It is not light: one French test car weighed 2,351 kg, and with no torque vectoring it settles into understeer when pushed.
Lancia Gamma prices start at €39,500 in Belgium and €39,900 in Italy
The cheapest Gamma is the 145 hp mild hybrid, at €39,500 in Belgium and €39,900 in Italy and France. The electric range opens with a 230 hp, 73.7 kWh Standard Range rated at 543 km, from €45,500 in Belgium and €45,900 in France. The 245 hp Long Range with the 97.2 kWh pack and 741 km WLTP costs €51,900 in Belgium and France and €51,950 in the Netherlands, where it is the entry model and deliveries start in the first quarter of 2027. Germany is not on the list, because Lancia has not returned there.
DS N°7 Long Range costs €1,290 less than the equivalent Gamma
Lower in the range the order flips: the front-drive DS N°7 Long Range starts at €50,610 in France, €1,290 below the 245 hp Gamma Long Range at €51,900. Both use the 97.2 kWh pack and claim around 740 km WLTP, so Lancia charges slightly more than DS for the efficient car and far less for the fast one. That is an unusual choice inside one group, where the badge positioned as more premium normally carries the higher price at every step. Here DS, Stellantis's premium brand, is the cheaper way into the long-range car and the dearer way into the dual-motor one.
Gamma charging peaks at 160 kW on a 400-volt system
Every electric Gamma charges at up to 160 kW on a 400-volt system, so a 10 to 80 percent top-up of the large battery takes 32 minutes; Lancia prefers to quote 20 to 80 percent in 27 minutes. That is the weakest number on an otherwise long-legged car at this price. The 97.2 kWh versions get multilink rear suspension, while the Standard Range and the hybrid make do with a torsion beam. The hybrid weighs almost 600 kg less than the electric cars and reaches 100 km/h in 10.4 seconds, a reasonable figure for a 145 hp car but a modest one for a flagship.
AutoNext Take
Lancia charges €1,290 more than DS for the long-range Gamma and €11,620 less for the dual-motor one, which turns Stellantis's own badge ladder upside down at the top. For a buyer in France or Italy that makes the HF Integrale the cheapest way into the group's most powerful STLA Medium car, adaptive dampers included, and the 160 kW charging and 2,351 kg are the cost of that bargain rather than a reason to walk away.
Over 2027 the Gamma HF Integrale will register more cars in France than the DS N°7 AWD, because €11,620 is more than most buyers will pay for a different badge on the same powertrain. That is good news for Lancia's revival and an awkward question for DS, whose dual-motor car is now undercut from inside its own group, by a brand that is not even sold in Germany yet.
