It has a very techno design materialized by a vertical front, a reference to the old Pandas, decorated with LEDs with an ultra-modern finish. Based on the same STLA Smart Car architecture as the new Citroën C3, the new Grande Panda measures 3.99 m. Its practically right-angled design benefits the volumes. The rear is rather generous for a car of this size and the trunk promises 360 liters.

The design is very elaborate, like the raised rear lights.

The originality of the interior design and the playful aspect are close to the Mini universe. This Grande Panda also seduces with its well-thought-out layout, its very fun combinations of colors and materials, like this upper bamboo glove box. Behind the wheel, the driver benefits from two well-sized screens, already seen on other models in the group.

The interior presents an original design. The atmosphere is fun and close to the Mini universe.

Like the French one, the Grande Panda will offer the choice between a 100% electric version with the same 113 horsepower powertrain with 44 kWh batteries (320 km of WLTP autonomy) and a 100 hp mild hybridization variant associated with a gearbox. automatic.

Another originality, the Italian is equipped with two charging hatches for the electric version. The first located on the right of the grille gives access to a 5 meter charging cable attached to the car with a type 2 socket for connecting to a public terminal or wallbox. The fast charging socket is located on the left rear.

Small feature, the Grande Panda has an AC charging cable attached to the car. The latter is placed in the grille.

The Fiat Grande Panda will first be marketed in a 100% electric version. Prices start at €24,900 excluding ecological bonus, which should undoubtedly revive customer interest in the Italian brand, which is in full recovery.

I like

The Caradisiac moment: a star

The little Italian is one of the stars of this Brussels show. The reception from the public is excellent. Its cute look, its good volumes and its low prices thanks to the presence of a gasoline engine should ensure it a bright future.
