What is the Lancia Thema?
The Lancia Thema II was a large saloon positioned as the marque’s flagship. Sold from 2011 to 2014, it was based on the Chrysler 300 and used Chrysler’s rear-wheel-drive LX platform, with Lancia details and an Italian-finished interior.
The name linked the car to the original Thema, introduced in 1984. This later model brought the nameplate back as a flagship developed during the Lancia–Chrysler partnership.
