Lancia Flavia

Lancia Flavia: Which Version Should You Buy?

The Lancia Flavia catalogue contains only one version: the 2.4 AT, produced from 2012 to 2014 as a Cabrio. It is therefore the automatic choice rather than the winner of a conventional comparison. There are no alternative engines, gearboxes, drivetrains, body styles, or generations in the supplied range.

The Lancia Flavia catalogue contains only one version: the 2.4 AT, produced from 2012 to 2014 as a Cabrio. It is therefore the automatic choice rather than the winner of a conventional comparison. There are no alternative engines, gearboxes, drivetrains, body styles, or generations in the supplied range. The buying decision comes down to whether its 170 hp Gasoline engine, Automatic gearbox, FWD layout, performance, fuel consumption, and weight suit your priorities.

Lancia Flavia generations: what changed?

The Flavia has one generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2012 to 2014, used the Cabrio body, and included one version, the 2.4 AT.

Because no second generation or additional version is listed, there is no generational change to compare. The data also identifies no separate restyling. A buyer choosing among model years is therefore not choosing between different catalogue specifications: every listed year belongs to the same generation and the same 2.4 AT version.

Lancia Flavia engine and specs

The 2.4 AT uses a 2,360 cc Gasoline engine producing 170 hp (125 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 220 Nm at 4,500 rpm. It has 4 cylinders in an Inline layout, 4 valves per cylinder, and No boost. The engine is mounted Front, transverse and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). Its compression ratio is 10.5, while bore and stroke are not measured. The specified fuel is 95.

Power per litre is approximately 72.0 hp, calculated from 170 hp and 2.36 litres. Torque per litre is approximately 93.2 Nm, based on 220 Nm and the same displacement. These figures describe the only available engine and cannot be used to identify a stronger or more efficient Flavia alternative within this catalogue.

The absence of alternatives simplifies the choice: buyers who want a manual gearbox, AWD, or a boosted engine will not find one in the supplied Flavia range. Buyers specifically seeking a 6-speed Automatic, FWD Cabrio receive that configuration with the 2.4 AT.

Lancia Flavia performance, fuel economy, and emissions

The 2.4 AT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.8 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 195 km/h. With a kerb weight of 1,678 kg and output of 170 hp, it carries approximately 9.87 kg per horsepower. Conversely, it provides approximately 101.3 hp per tonne of kerb weight.

Fuel consumption is 13.6 l/100 km in the city, 7 l/100 km on the highway, and 9.4 l/100 km combined. The city figure is 6.6 l/100 km higher than the highway result and 4.2 l/100 km higher than the combined figure. Highway consumption is 2.4 l/100 km below the combined result. These differences make the 2.4 AT more favourable for sustained highway use than for predominantly urban driving on the supplied consumption figures.

The fuel tank holds 64 litres, and CO₂ emissions are 221 g/km. The ecological class is not measured.

Lancia Flavia dimensions and weight

The supplied data gives weight-related specifications but does not provide exterior length, width, or height. Those dimensions are not measured. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are also not measured, so they should not be inferred from the Cabrio body type.

The 2.4 AT has a kerb weight of 1,678 kg and a gross weight of 2,132 kg. The difference between gross and kerb weight is 454 kg. Its tank capacity is 64 litres.

The chassis specification consists of Independent, spring suspension at both the front and rear. Braking is handled by Ventilated disc brakes at the front and Disc brakes at the rear.

Lancia Flavia reliability and problems

Reliability ratings, repair histories, maintenance costs, and model-specific problems are not measured in the supplied data. No evidence here supports claims about recurring engine, gearbox, roof, suspension, or electrical faults.

The available specifications can still guide a pre-purchase inspection: the 2.4 AT has a 2,360 cc Gasoline engine, a 6-speed Automatic gearbox, FWD, Independent, spring suspension at both ends, and disc brakes on both axles. Their condition must be assessed on the individual car; it cannot be established from catalogue figures.

Which Lancia Flavia version should you buy?

Choose the 2.4 AT if you want the Flavia configuration represented in this catalogue: a 2012–2014 Cabrio with a 170 hp, 220 Nm Gasoline engine, 6-speed Automatic transmission, and FWD. Its key numerical trade-off is straightforward. It offers 195 km/h maximum speed and 10.8-second acceleration to 100 km/h, while consuming 13.6 l/100 km in the city and 9.4 l/100 km combined.

There is no higher-powered version for quicker acceleration, smaller engine for lower stated consumption, alternative gearbox, or later generation to justify extra money in the provided range. Any price premium between individual examples therefore buys differences in the cars themselves rather than a different catalogue specification; prices and condition are not measured here.

For drivers expecting substantial urban use, the 13.6 l/100 km city figure is the main reason to examine the choice carefully. For those whose use is weighted toward highways, the stated 7 l/100 km highway figure is 6.6 l/100 km lower. The 2.4 AT is consequently the version to buy only when its Cabrio body and fixed drivetrain match the brief—not because it defeats another Flavia version, but because it is the sole version available for comparison.
