2025 Fiat Grande Panda

This year, Fiat celebrates its 125th anniversary, and for this special occasion, the Italian company announced the arrival of a new version of the small Panda city car, the Fiat Grande Panda.

Grande Panda is 3.99 meters long and will occupy a place in the compact B segment, unlike its smaller brother (Panda), which is an A segment model. In terms of design, Fiat does not abandon the standard box-design characteristic of the first generation. Protective elements have been added in the lower part of the front and rear bumpers emphasizing the SUV style, while the headlights are made of opal cubes and refer to the style of windows on the facade of the Lingot factory, and the daytime running lights and indicators are integrated into the same light block.

The Grande Panda will be offered with a hybrid and electric drive, most likely a 1.2-L turbo gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 128 hp (95 kW). The all-electric Grande Panda will likely be powered by a single electric motor with 113 hp (84 kW), and will be equipped with a 44 kWh LFP battery that provides a range of 320 km. It will sit on 17″ wheels.

It is not known when the production of this model will begin, but Fiat’s primary goal is to offer it in the European, Middle Eastern and African markets.

Fiat Pandina

In 1980, Fiat unveiled the first generation of its city car, the Fiat Panda. After 44 years and three generations, the arrival of the fourth generation of this model has been announced. However, Fiat announces that it will not stop producing the current generation, but that it will continue to live on under a new name, the Fiat Pandina.

The new Fiat Pandina will come with a wide range of body colors that will include Positano Yellow and several two-tone body options with a black roof. The design remains the same, but new additions include emblems with the inscription “Pandina” on the doors and rear side windows, a special graphic with the face of a panda bear inserted in the center of the wheels, and yellow mirror housings.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black and white fabric produced from marine waste with “Pandina” lettering and yellow stitching. There is also a 7-inch digital instrument panel with three different graphic modes, a 7-inch central screen, and a multimedia system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems.

Also, the car comes with advanced technology that includes advanced emergency braking, lane keeping system, driver fatigue detection system, traffic sign recognition, cruise control, automatic high beams and rear parking sensors.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Pandina will be powered by the same engines as the current generation Panda.

Fiat stops production of all-electric 500e

Last week VW announced that it will lay off 269 workers from the Zwickau factory, and three days ago it will stop the production of ID.3 and Cupra Born in Zwickau. Serious things seem to be happening in the European market as Fiat also announces the temporary halt of production of the all-electric 500e at the Mirafiori plant due to low demand, as well as the cessation of production of four Maserati models (Ghibli, Quattroporte, Levante and GranTurismo).

This year is bad for the Fiat 500e, when it comes to sales, because there was a drop in demand (1.7 percent) compared to the same period last year, so the decision was expected. It should be noted that the model with an internal combustion engine will continue to be produced in Poland.

A spokesperson for Stellantis said that all activities at the Mirafiori plant will be temporarily halted this week and that the plant will continue to operate, but will again have to stop car production between October 19 and November 3. About 2,400 workers are employed in this factory.

The Fiat 500e is powered by an electric motor with 118 hp (87 kW) and 162 lb-ft (220 Nm) of torque. It is equipped with a lithium-ion 42 kWh battery that provides a range of 199 miles (321 km/ WLTP). It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 9 seconds with a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).
