Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and Stellantis Global Marketing Director, said: “The best way to celebrate FIAT’s 125th anniversary is to start writing the first pages of our future, starting with the new Grande Panda. Developed in Turin (Italy) by our Centro Stile, the new FIAT creation embodies the values ​​of its predecessor. This compact car is based on a global platform, giving the brand the opportunity to expand its global presence. With the introduction of the Grande Panda, FIAT is now beginning to move towards common global platforms that cover all regions of the world, passing on the resulting benefits to its customers around the world. In fact, the Grande Panda adapts perfectly to family and urban mobility in all countries… a true FIAT!

The Grande Panda is the first addition to the family, after which a new car will be released every year until 2027.

Fiat Grande Panda: created in Italy for the world

Developed in Italy at the Centro Stile plant in Turin, the Fiat Grande Panda stands out from other B-segment cars due to its unique compactness: its length is just 3.99 meters, below the segment average of 4.06 meters, and it also features clean lines and elegance. well-organized living thanks to compact volume. The new FIAT model can carry five people and is ideal for comfortable family life and modern urban mobility. Aiming to convey strength and uniqueness, the volume appears solid and structured. The dynamic wedge-shaped body design is created by pronounced profile lines. Grande Panda was conceived to project the brand into the future with an innovative and intelligent use of space, a fresh personality and amazing performance.

The new Fiat Grande Panda has a distinctive appearance with a subtle combination of structured lines and smooth, bold surfaces that highlight the strong wheel arches. In addition, the “Italianity” of the new Fiat Grande Panda is immediately evident thanks to its iconic and ironic Italian design, which is synonymous with beauty. The compact station wagon has bright exterior colors, one of which will be yellow.

The front section presents a compact volume with a new, distinctive personality. Precise orthogonal lines frame a progressive square grid that creates a strong and elegant appearance, creating a pixelated scheme from the center of the gloss black upper grille to the headlights. The presence of a skid plate at the lower center of the bumper helps highlight the ultraviolet hue, while the headlights, composed of iridescent cubes, reflect the windows of the Lingotto factory facades. Additionally, along with the exclusive light signature, the daytime running lights (DRLs) become turn indicators and illuminate certain cubes that appear as horizontal pixels arranged in a checkerboard pattern.

From the sides, the silhouette of the Fiat Grande Panda recalls the strength of the Panda of the 80s with an undeniable and confident appearance thanks to the dynamism of the interior and greenhouse.

The wedge-shaped shape of the body and cabin is clearly defined and is further emphasized by the sloping roof slats that run from top to rear.

Paying homage to the classic Panda 4×4, the Panda letters surprise: 3D bas-reliefs on the doors reflect the environment and bring life to the lower side panel.

In addition, the unmistakable inclination of the angular relationship with the vertical volume of the rear end is reproduced by the robust C-pillar. To create a lenticular effect, a black square icon is attached to the greenhouse graphic, creating a striking effect where the four letters of FIAT transform into four stripes running along the length of the car.

The rear also has a bold character thanks to the prominent wheel arches, the slope of the windows, the overall placement of the rear window, headlights and skids, which give the Fiat Grande Panda a protective and stable appearance, as well as great strength downwards. . The volume is increased by integrating a glossy black frame with a 3D Panda lettering, which is a tribute to the original Panda. Finally, to keep the theme of eighties geometry combined with futuristic styling, the 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are complemented by a captivating stylized X design.

With a new, distinctive design language, the Fiat Grande Panda is already shaping the future. This is part of the brand’s commitment to offer customers around the world a unique car that expresses all its values ​​through its unique design.
