Introducing the All-New 2024 Fiat Grande Panda: A Retro, Rugged Supermini
The highly anticipated fourth-generation Fiat Panda has been unveiled as the Grande Panda, a retro and rugged urban family car with a fresh new look and the option of electric power. Set to rival the Dacia Sandero and Jeep Avenger, this supermini is expected to have a starting price of around £15,000.
Design and Features
The Grande Panda, named for its larger footprint compared to its predecessor, shares a platform with the Citroën C3 under Stellantis’s Smart Car platform. This versatile platform can accommodate both internal combustion and battery powertrains, offering options like the C3’s electric systems and a mild-hybrid petrol engine.
The production model retains the blocky, retro design of the Panda concept, paying homage to its 1980s namesake. The rugged aesthetic includes features like a front skidplate, roof rails, and black lower-body cladding, emphasizing its utility vehicle attitude.
Interior and Future Plans
While details about the five-seat cabin are yet to be revealed, Fiat promises a comfortable and contemporary space for family living and urban mobility. The brand plans to expand the Panda family with new derivatives annually until 2027, including SUVs, coupé-crossovers, pick-up trucks, and MPV-camper vans.
The Future of Fiat
Following the Grande Panda’s launch, Fiat will continue to differentiate the Panda family from its other models like the iconic 500. The brand aims to start UK deliveries early next year, with expected prices starting at £15,000 for petrol models and around £22,000 for EV versions.
Current Model Continuation
Fiat has confirmed that the current Panda, also known as the Pandina, will remain in production until at least 2027. An updated version with new safety features and technology enhancements is set to be released this summer.
