With over a century’s worth of experience in the automotive world, Fiat are celebrating their 125th anniversary with the release of this new global model, which is perfect for families and modern urban areas.

First images have been revealed by the brand, along with information about its exciting international release in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This is the beginning of Fiat’s ongoing transition to make the Fiat driving experience more accessible for everyone.

The Fiat CEO and Stellantis Global CMO, Olivier Francois, commented: “The best way to celebrate Fiat’s 125 years is to start writing the first pages of our future, starting with the new Grande Panda. Designed in Turin, Italy, by our Centro Stile, Fiat’s new creation embodies its forerunner’s values. This compact car is based on a global platform, giving the brand the opportunity to expand its global reach. With the Grande Panda, Fiat now begins its transition to global common platforms that cover all regions of the world, passing on the resulting benefits to its customers worldwide. In fact, the Grande Panda is perfectly suited for families and urban mobility in every country...a real Fiat!”

Sized for the city

At just 3.99m long, the Grande Panda is smaller than the 4.06m segment average. Its compact size makes the Grande Panda well-suited to city streets, with easy manoeuvrability into even the tightest spaces and along the slimmest streets.

Even better, the well-organised interior means there’s no compromise on space. With space for up to five passengers, the Grande Panda’s purposeful design makes sure that the whole family is comfortable on every journey. Add to that the novel features and cool personality, and the Grande Panda is ready to hit the road.

The Grande Panda will be available in both electric and hybrid versions, letting you choose how you want to drive while putting emphasis on global sustainability.

Designed in Italy

The Grande Panda’s robust structure showcases its strength and volume, with dramatic profile lines that announce the Fiat Grande Panda’s arrival on the road. With a great dose of Italian personality, the Grande Panda is simply beautiful and offers a range of joyful body colours, including a bright yellow.

The distinctive design of this unique car speaks a special language, helping to shape the future now. With soft yet bold surfaces that emphasise the sleek wheel arches, the Grande Panda’s values are expressed delicately to make the perfect companion for drivers.

From the front

The Grande Panda’s front reveals a compact form with a distinct new personality. Sharp orthogonal lines enclose an advanced square mesh design, creating a strong and sleek appearance. This design produces a pixelated effect extending from the centre of the glossy black upper grille to the headlights. The lower central part of the bumper features a skid plate, enhancing the vehicle’s attitude.

The headlamps, composed of opal cubes, reflect the windows of the Lingotto factory façades. This unique light signature is complemented by the daytime running lights, which transform into indicators, illuminating some of the cubes to form horizontal pixels in a chessboard arrangement.

Side to side

The sides of the Fiat Grande Panda evoke the robust charm of the 1980s Panda, featuring a confident and dynamic silhouette. The well-defined wedge-shaped bodywork and cabin are further accentuated by sloping roof racks that extend from the top toward the rear.

Paying tribute to the classic Panda 4x4, the Panda name is rendered in three-dimensional bas-relief on the doors, animating the lower side panels.

At the rear

At the back of the Grande Panda, the wheel arches, angled windows and overall design of the rear window, headlights and skid plates highlight its bold character. These elements give the vehicle a protective appearance and a solid grounding.

The volume is further enhanced by a glossy black bezel featuring three-dimensional Panda letters, paying tribute to the original Panda design. And to continue the blend of 80s geometries with a futuristic style, the 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels feature a stylised X design.
