READ THE REVIEW:
The Panda has been an amazingly profitable automotive for Fiat, particularly right here in Italy, the place they’re extra frequent than pasta. They’re low cost to purchase and run, sensible and nice enjoyable to drive. This all new automotive would be the first of a household of Pandas, which is bizarre as any zoologist will let you know it’s notoriously arduous to breed them. These will embrace a much bigger SUV, a coupe, and a mini-MPV. There can be a metropolis automotive too, which would be the measurement you’d count on a Panda to be.
This one is known as the Grande Panda and can arrive first in early 2025. Your entire vary of Pandas ought to be in showrooms by 2027.
That Grande title displays the truth that it’s greater than you may count on. It’s 3.99-meters lengthy, which is a large 30cm longer than the outgoing petrol Panda.

The worth can be round £22,000 for the all-electric model – there can be a less expensive hybrid petrol too.
Fiat isn’t ashamed of its heritage and there are many nods to the unique boxy Panda from and the later fashions.
The Grande’s styling is a intelligent mixture of the themes from the unique Nineteen Eighties Panda. Do you know that boxy first era automotive was designed by the identical man who did the Lotus Esprit, the unique Golf and the, er, Ssangyong Rexton?
In homage to the basic Panda 4×4, the Panda letters are ‘embossed’ on the doorways, and it has upright hind lights.
Underneath the bodywork, the Grande Panda shares its {hardware} with the Citroen e-C3. That’s no dangerous factor because it’s a automotive we like and helps preserve value low.

The spiral cable has a particular housing in a hatch on the entrance of the automotive. This implies you don’t want to hold a cable round within the boot and it avoids the grime of conventional cables.
