Three Powertrains, One Icon: FIAT Completes the Grande Panda Lineup
FIAT has officially unveiled the final piece of its new Grande Panda family, introducing the petrol-powered version to join the already-available hybrid and electric models. With this addition, FIAT now offers drivers a complete trio of powertrains—petrol, hybrid, and electric—ensuring that the Grande Panda remains accessible, versatile, and ready to meet the needs of a wide variety of drivers.
Petrol Joins the Family
The newly launched petrol model brings back a sense of traditional simplicity and practicality for drivers who prefer the familiar. Equipped with a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, it delivers 100 HP and 205 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. FIAT has also added Start&Stop technology, improving efficiency for city driving without losing the intuitive feel of a manual gearbox.
This version is particularly appealing to cost-conscious customers looking for reliable performance with a straightforward, no-nonsense driving experience.
The Hybrid Advantage
For those who want a balance between efficiency and everyday usability, the 110 HP hybrid model combines a 48-volt lithium-ion battery with an electrified dual-clutch transmission (eDCT). This setup provides smoother acceleration, optimized fuel consumption, and lower emissions—perfect for urban commuters who aren’t quite ready to go fully electric but still want eco-friendly technology built into their car.
Zero-Emission Driving with the Electric Version
Completing the lineup is the electric Grande Panda, which FIAT has designed for drivers ready to fully embrace the future of mobility. With a 44 kWh battery paired with an 83 kW motor producing 113 HP, the electric model delivers zero-emission driving with smooth acceleration and enough range to make city and suburban journeys stress-free.
This version captures FIAT’s vision of sustainable mobility while still delivering fun, everyday usability.
Three Trims for Every Lifestyle
The Grande Panda is available in three trims—POP, ICON, and LA PRIMA—across all powertrain options, allowing customers to choose the perfect blend of features and style.
- POP (Entry-Level): Practical and safe with a 10-inch digital cluster, smartphone dock, six airbags, Lane Keeping Assist, Emergency Braking, Driver Drowsiness Warning, and rear parking sensors.
- ICON (Mid-Tier): Adds full LED lighting, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone mirroring, and enhanced style for drivers who want modern convenience.
- LA PRIMA (Top-Tier): Fully equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, a premium “Bambox” sustainable dashboard, navigation, automatic air conditioning, and advanced driver-assist features including a rear camera.
Bold Design with a Nod to the Past
What ties all three powertrains together is FIAT’s unified design philosophy. Inspired by the iconic 1980s Panda, the Grande Panda features:
- Pixel-style LED headlights
- Cube-shaped rear lights
- 3D “PANDA” lettering on the doors
Inside, FIAT has focused on intelligent, people-first design with best-in-class shoulder room, clever storage options, and intuitive technology for everyday use.
The Grande Panda is also available in seven vibrant colors—Gelato White, Cinema Black, Passione Red, Acqua Azure, Limone Yellow, Lago Blue, and Luna Bronze—perfectly complementing its modern, playful personality.
Conclusion
With three powertrains—petrol, hybrid, and electric—FIAT has completed the Grande Panda lineup, giving drivers the freedom to choose what best fits their lifestyle. Whether you value simplicity, efficiency, or sustainability, the Grande Panda delivers Italian style, everyday practicality, and a design rooted in FIAT’s proud history.
