The Fiat Grande Panda Is a Cheery City EV

Story story. That’s what The General Director of Fiat Olivier Francois says that it separates Fiat from a wave of available new (mainly) Chinese EVs. He himself is quite Yenonter, he has Instagram, inciting contacts with the list, and will gladly admit that the new Grande Panda should be a blockbuster.

“Heritage is a key,” he explains. “Our design is based on our heritage, and this is no coincidence. This is a good way to calm our customers. There are new brands, but, hey, they come, and they go. We have been here for 125 years – and we are here to stay. ”

As in the case of enthusiastically new 5 Renault, Grande Panda pulsates with tangible confidence. Thanks to its pixel LEDs using video games resembling a video game of the 80s and a cheerful color scheme (without gray, by order of its manufacturer), Panda will be able to deliver Prouustian Prosk, not looking lazily retro. The loan to the external designer Francois Lebone and his team, he looks especially fresh on simple steel wheels. (It is worth noting Leboine, made R5 before he left Renault.)

The Panda is inscribed in the inscription with a low relief on the side if you forget the name of the car, and they can be filled with protective laying. The Fiat logo and a monogram with four bar substances that arrived 40 years ago at the UN are mixed and combined on seats, door and wheel arches, as well as with laser, in the column C. All participants, you feel, brought their game. Including those unnoticed heroes to the product planning department.

In the UK, Panda prices start with £ 20,975 for a red-level red version, output to £ 24,000 for the La Prima Top-SPEC model. Soon there will be a cheaper 1.3-liter hybrid, but now it is concentrated on a fully electric model with its 200-mile range. Thus, this is a car that promises to do for EV what Epochal Nuova 500 has done for Italian mass mobility, as well as Dolce vita I saw in appearance in the late 50s.

City utility

Master packaging is part of its DNA, but the original panda of 1980 is a clearer inspiration for a new car. This was designed by maestro Georgetto Jugyaro, still alive and driving a bicycle at the age of 86, and a person who deviates his contribution to automobile design as simply the “solution to problems”.

Well, there are many those who can bypass available cars with an electric city. Various versions of the new panda are waiting on the wings, but the Grand arrives, measuring a single millimeters within four meters in length. The original was actually created to imitate Renault 4 village spells, and to this day 4×4 versions of panda can be seen in remote and really fashionable parts of Italy. Without a planned version with all -wheel drive, Fiat still relys rather hard on the idea of ​​utility on the panda, with smart internal storages and slightly increased persistent and visibility. UV.
