The Lancia Fulvia Berlina was introduced in 1963 to replace the Lancia Appia as a compact four-door sedan. Exterior features included a single vent grill with quad headlights integrated into the steel body, chrome steel body trim, and bumpers. Interior amenities included four seats, metal vents, and a column-mounted, later floor mounted, gear selector. Suspension components included independent front and leaf springs at the rear, with discs brakes at all four corners. A 1.2-liter V4 engine was standard, replaced by a 1.3-liter V4 in 1967. Power was sent to the front wheels via a three or four-speed manual transmission. The Fulvia Berlina was updated in 1970 as the Lancia Fulvia Berlina Series II and featured exterior and interior updates.
