The Fiat Grande Panda has been named ‘Best Urban Vehicle’ at the 13th Motor Awards, an annual event organized by Spanish women’s magazine Mujer Hoy, part of the Vocento Group.
Recognized for its bold design, innovative features, and efficient use of space, the Grande Panda stood out for offering both electric and hybrid options in a compact, city-friendly package.
Praised for its avant-garde styling and smart engineering, the model impressed judges with its practicality and creative interior solutions, reinforcing its role as a next-generation urban vehicle.

Measuring just under four meters long, the Grande Panda blends compact dimensions with surprising functionality—an evolution of the original 1980 Fiat Panda’s utilitarian legacy, reimagined for modern city living.
Designed by Centro Stile Fiat in Turin, the vehicle emphasizes sustainability, with recycled aluminum and plastics, blue interiors made from beverage cartons, and dashboard materials that include real bamboo fibers. Available in both hybrid and fully electric versions, it supports eco-conscious driving while maintaining affordability.
One standout feature exclusive to the electric version is a built-in spiral charging cable stored under the hood. Supporting up to 7 kW AC charging, this clever integration frees up trunk space and simplifies day-to-day use. For faster charging needs, additional 11 kW and 100 kW ports are available.
This recognition by Mujer Hoy—a publication known for evaluating vehicles through a distinctly female lens—further solidifies the Grande Panda’s reputation as a stylish, forward-thinking, and versatile urban car built to meet the needs of a wide and modern audience.
