Fiat, renowned for its iconic Panda model, is gearing up to unveil a larger and more modern iteration. Drawing inspiration from the Fiat Centoventi Concept introduced in 2019, the new Fiat Panda emerges as a global crossover vehicle, boasting a range of powertrain options. Importantly, this new model is not intended to replace the existing Panda but rather complement it, likely to be distinguished by the moniker “New Panda” to avoid confusion in the market.
Fiat Panda Speculated Designs
Recent patent leaks provide insights into the design direction of the new Fiat Panda. Embracing a minimalist approach, the front fascia boasts a clean appearance, accentuated by a singular character line seamlessly merging into squarish quarter panels. Conventional headlights are connected by an LED lightbar, while pill-shaped fog lights with distinctive DRL elements add a touch of sophistication. The side profile showcases prominent features such as thick door claddings and rising beltlines, along with fully covered aero plaques on the wheels. However, it’s the rear of the vehicle that truly captivates, featuring square LED tail lights divided by a horizontal LED light bar, aligning with the contemporary trend of connected tail lights. A roof spoiler and youthful black and silver elements on the rear bumper further enhance the vehicle’s appeal.
Fiat Panda Speculated Specifications
The Fiat New Panda is anticipated to share dimensions and powertrain options akin to its alliance counterpart, the Citroen e-C3. With a length of around 4 meters, the vehicle is likely to offer fully electric variants, leveraging a platform shared with the Citroen e-C3, alongside hybrid engine options. Electric versions may feature a 44 kWh battery delivering a range of approximately 320 km, catering to the evolving demands of environmentally-conscious consumers.
Despite Fiat’s diminishing presence in India in recent years, the Stellantis conglomerate has expressed interest in revitalizing the brand. However, concrete developments regarding Fiat’s re-entry into the Indian market remain scarce.Â
