In the Fiat range, it’s not just the 500 that counts. Even if the latter was a real goose that laid golden eggs for the Italian manufacturer during its return to the range in 2007, everything is not smiling on it. This is also evidenced by the insufficient sales of the electric Fiat 500 which led the brand to review its copy.n additionally offering, from November 2025, a Fiat 500 Ibrida equipped with the 1.2 turbo three-cylinder engine associated with an electric motor with a power of 100 or 136 hp depending on the variant.
A strategy that was not at all on the program at the launch of the 500 in 2020 which, at the time, was the champion of on-grip turns. Fortunately, on the upper floor, the Fiat 600 urban SUV has not put all its eggs in one basket, immediately broadening its spectrum to hybridization, also available in 100 and 136 hp.
Fiat Grande Panda first in line
Alongside this plump-faced range, Fat is counting this year on the return to favor of its sacrosanct Panda. Presented in July 2024 during the 125th anniversary of the brand in its stronghold of Turin in Italy, the one which is now called the Fiat Grande Panda, technical cousin of the Citroën C3 with which it shares the STLA Smart base from Stellantis, should allow the Turin firm to increase its presence in the compact urban and family car segment. Because in the wake of the Grande Panda electric, the manufacturer immediately revealed, but retaining very large pixels in order to keep the mystery, two additional silhouettes.
-The Fiat Multipla will be called Fiat Giga Panda
First of all, it is a seriously extended variant which will be equipped, like its technical twins Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel Frontera, with a 5 and 7 seat layout.. A Fiat Giga Panda which will unofficially take over from the Fiat Multipla, without however venturing into the field of 3-seaters at the front. The second body will hardly concern us in Europe since its playing field will be South America, a territory where Fiat performs the most. This is also what allows it to be the most “selling” brand of the Stellantis group, it will be the Fiat Fastback.
The successor to the Fiat Fastback is ready
The latter will ultimately take over from the eponymous model launched in 2022. A model which seduces with its athletic lines, its receding roof and its good trunk capacity. The brand, which even offers in Brazil a variant badged Abarth whose 1.3 turbo engine – capable of drinking pure ethanol if necessary – produces a comfortable power of 185 hp, sold nearly 50,000 units last year. Nice score.
