STYLE AND FLAIR IN PANDA LAND
Hull Daily Mail
|June 13, 2025
SMALL and affordable EVs have been a recent talking point in the industry - and the Fiat Grande Panda has made a good impression.
-
Launched as the firm's “world car”, this funky EV crossover with plenty of style and flair will be sold in more than 60 countries, taking on the Citroen e-C3 and Renault 5.
Now Fiat has introduced a hybrid version of the Grande Panda for those not yet ready for an EV and we've been testing it out.
WHAT'S NEW?
The hybrid’s purchase price is more affordable than the EV and there is more room inside for passengers and an increase in boot space.
WHAT'S UNDER THE BONNET?
The car has a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine mated to a small 48-volt battery.
It offers 108bhp and 205Nm of torque, while 0-60mph takes 9.8 seconds and the top speed is 99mph. Fiat claims the car can do a combined 55.3mpg and it pumps out 118g/km of CO2.
All versions of the hybrid model come as standard with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO DRIVE?
The hybrid drives very similarly to the electric car. It feels at home around town with a tight turning circle, light steering and short wheelbase, making parking a breeze.
