Fiat unveils colourful new Fiat Grande Panda

The new Grande Panda is the latest debut from an Italian brand celebrating its 125th anniversary year.

Fiat says the car styled with the 80s disco era in mind pays homage to the Fiat Panda and is the first in a range of funky new products it plans to launch by 2027, landing first in Europe, Middle East, and then Africa.

From a size perspective, this is Fiat’s throw of the dice using the Stellantis STLA smart multi-energy platform for electric and hybrid drivetrains. Jeep used the platform to craft the new Avenger 4xe, and French brand Citroën the new e-C3. 

The compact, art deco design car is 4m long and carries four to five passengers. The bright yellow colour is one of many bright hues to be made available.

A skid plate in the lower central part gives a vibe of a small mud-plugger à la the Fiat Panda 4x4. The headlamps are made up of opal cubes, and Daytime Running Lights in a chessboard pattern turn into indicators.

Prominent wheel arches aside, the rear features a glossy black bezel with the three-dimensional letters of Panda, and the 80s theme is complemented by X-design 17-inch” diamond-cut alloy wheels.
