Key Features and Design
Global Platform and Multi-Energy Options The Grande Panda is part of Fiat’s strategy to produce vehicles on a global platform that accommodates various energy sources, including electric and hybrid. This approach allows Fiat to expand its reach and offer versatile options to its customers.
Compact and Spacious Measuring under 4 meters in length, the Grande Panda combines compact dimensions with well-organized interior space, comfortably seating five people. This design makes it suitable for both family use and urban mobility.
Distinctive Design Designed at Fiat’s Centro Stile in Turin, the Grande Panda features clean lines and a robust, structured appearance. The exterior design includes pronounced profile lines, robust wheel arches, and a combination of structured lines and bold surfaces. The vehicle will be available in bright colors, including a distinctive yellow.
Front and Side Features The front of the Grande Panda showcases a compact volume with a new personality, featuring precise orthogonal lines, a square mesh grille, and opal cube headlamps. The daytime running lights (DRL) double as indicators, adding to the vehicle’s unique light signature.
On the sides, the silhouette evokes the strength and self-confidence of the original 1980s Panda, with dynamic roof racks and three-dimensional “Panda” letters on the doors. The robust “C” pillar and black square badge on the rear contribute to the vehicle’s striking appearance.
Rear and Wheels The rear of the Grande Panda features prominent wheel arches, inclined windows, and a glossy black bezel with three-dimensional “Panda” letters, reminiscent of the original Panda’s design. The 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels feature a stylized X design, blending 1980s geometries with a futuristic style.
Launch and Availability
The Grande Panda will be the first in a new family of models, with a new vehicle launched every year until 2027. This new line-up aims to conquer streets worldwide and complete Fiat’s offering with innovative, smart designs and practical features.
Availability and Pricing The Fiat Grande Panda will be available for order in various markets, starting with Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It will come in both electric and hybrid versions, with exact pricing and further specifications to be announced closer to the launch dates.
