Storytelling. That’s what Fiat CEO Olivier Francois says that separates Fiat from the wave of accessible new (mostly) Chinese EVS. He is completely the raconteur himself, has Instagram A-list contactsAnd cheerfully acknowledges that the new Grand Panda needs to be a blocker.
“Heritage is key,” he explains. “Our design is rooted in our heritage, and that is not by chance. It’s a good way to calm our customers. There are new brands but, hey, they come and they go. We’ve been here for 125 years – and we’re here to stay. ”
As with Renault Rapee received New 5The big panda pulses with tangible confidence. With its ’80 years gaming chorus pixels, cunning attitude and cheerful color scheme (no gray, in order of its manufacturer), the Panda manages to deliver a proustal speed without looking lazy retro. Credit to external designer Francois Leboine and his team, it looks especially fresh on simple steel wheels. (Leboine, worth noting, did the R5 before leaving Renault.)
“Panda” is inscribed in low relief on the side, if you forget the name of the car, and these can be filled with protective completion. The Fiat logo and four-bar monogram-which arrived 40 years ago on the UN-are mixed and compatible on the seats, door garrisons, and wheel arch surround and are laser-inserted in the C column. All involved, you feel, brought their game. Including those unpublished heroes in the Department of Product Planning.
In the UK, prices for the Panda start at £ 20,975 for the entry-level red version, rising to £ 24,000 for the top-specific the primary model. Cheaper, a 1.3-liter hybrid will be soon, but for now the focus is on the fully electric model, with its approximately 200-mile range. This is therefore the car that promises to do for the eV what the era New 500 made for Italian mass mobility the same The dolce vita was hovering in the late 50s years.

A master package is part of its DNA, but the original 1980 panda is the clearer inspiration for the new car. This was designed by Master Giorgetto Giugiaro, still alive and riding a trail at the age of 86, and a man who dismisses his contribution to a car drawing as a mere “troubleshooter.”

Well there are many of those who avoid affordable Electric city cars. Various versions of a new panda expectation in the wings, but the magnificence arrives measuring a lonely millimeter fear of four meters long. The original was actually created to mimic the rusty charms of Renault 4, and to date 4×4 versions of the Panda are visible in remote and indeed fashion parts of Italy. With no all-wheel-drive version, Fiat still bends quite strongly to the idea of utility on the gang, with clever internal storage spaces and slightly raised attitude and visibility. A uv bev. It may catch.
