CHECKED OUT THE REVIEW:

The Panda has been an amazingly effective vehicle for , particularly here in Italy, where they are more common than pasta. They are inexpensive to buy and run, practical and excellent fun to drive. This all new vehicle will be the first of a household of Pandas, which is strange as any zoologist will tell you it's infamously difficult to reproduce them. These will include a bigger SUV, a coupe, and a mini-MPV. There will be a city automobile too, which will be the size you 'd anticipate a Panda to be.

This one is called the Grande Panda and will get here initially in early 2025. The entire variety of Pandas need to remain in showrooms by 2027.

That Grande name shows the reality that it's bigger than you might expect. It's 3.99-meters long, which is a massive 30cm longer than the outbound gas Panda.

So it's not a to measure up to the likes of the Dacia Spring and is more 'supermini' sized. That means it's got to compete with the Renault 5, Hyundai Inster and BYD Dolphin. The cost will be around ₤ 22,000 for the all- variation– there will be a cheaper hybrid petrol too.

isn't ashamed of its heritage and there are a lot of nods to the original boxy Panda from and the later models.

The Grande's styling is a clever mix of the styles from the initial 1980s Panda. Did you know that blocky first generation automobile was developed by the exact same male who did the Lotus Esprit, the initial Golf and the, er, Ssangyong Rexton?

In tribute to the classic Panda 4×4, the Panda letters are 'em bossed' on the doors, and it has upright rear lights.

Under the bodywork, the Grande Panda shares its hardware with the e-C3. That's no bad thing as it's an automobile we like and helps keep cost low. This implies we get a 44kWh battery, offering a range of 195 miles on the official test cycle. It will likewise have 100kW DC charging ability.

A creative little innovation is the tethered spiral charging cable television, which promises to make the experience of plugging in easier and tidier. The Grande Panda is the very first automobile because the Renault Twizy to include an integrated charging cable, which works with air conditioner battery chargers approximately 7 kW. The spiral cable television has a special housing in a hatch at the front of the vehicle. This suggests you do not require to bring a cable around in the boot and it prevents the grime of standard cables.

      Did the original panda look worse when it was released back in the day? Did people back then, looking at it through 1980’s eyes really thought it looked bad?
      I was born in the 80’s and the original panda interior looked pretty nice back then

      ​@@TheAllMightyGodofCod Les gens la voyaient comme une voiture joyeuse, originale, pleine de trouvailles pratiques et très économique, très bon marché.. et donc personne ne voyait la qualité médiocre des matériaux ou de la finition comme un véritable défaut.

    At last, we are getting some seriously funky, interesting commuter boxes. I bloody love this. The embossing is simple and a stroke of ruddy genius. I want.

      Which the whole point of the Panda always was, funky looking, affordable, no nonsense car. I wonder if they’re gonna release AWD version and if it’s going to be as good as the ICE in off-roading or it’s going to be just a commuter car.

    Now that is how to do an EV refresh of a classic. Ford Capri take note. Love the outside detailing and that interior is absolutely fabulous. Yes it’s a clone of the e-C3 underneath but for once Stellantis have got this absolutely right.

      This is so much more deserving of the Panda name than the new Ford Capri abomination.

    I like it, but then I’m biased, I had a Fiat Punto and loved that, and my Dad had several Fiats, including a 1967 Fiat 500, so yes I have a soft spot for Fiats. I really hope it will be a reasonable and affordable price, ideally more or less the same price as an ICE Panda.

    That’s the nicest Fiat I’ve seen in years. Could be a Hyundai. And since Hyundai and Kia these days are so good, that’s means a lot. Pity about the rear legroom though … it seems to be the Stellantis blight! What a contrast in style with the revolting new Ford Capri!

    @avtomad722

    Truly surprised about this, I had almost given up hope that FIAT would make anything other than a re-badge of another Stelatntis model, but this really is quite a charming and attractive little car, it is back on my list!

      It is not a mere badge engineering, yet still a platform play (e-C3). Same for the two more bodystyles, an Aircross/Frontera long-wheel base (7-seater as ICE), a Citroën Basalt like SUV Coupé.

    Ah Nicola, thats a treat. Thanks for the happy time and making us smile🤗.
    Nice EV, I thought of the Panda as “the box of Pandora” And indeed it is . . . sort of, with that cable at the front.
    Same platform as the EV that we bought, . . . the ë-C3 Max.
    Same battery, some engine and about the same size, same screen and same buttons and gear selector. Guess the chairs and suspension of the C3 will be better.
    Probably the same price range.

    A proper car sized EV with decent specifications and pleasant styling back to simpler times. Looking forward to the drive reviews and to take one for a spin myself. I have an SUV and honestly regret it 90% of the times I drive.

    Having the cable fixed to the car is such a brilliant idea, and kind of obvious one after seeing it. I don’t know why other cars haven’t done it before
