The Panda proves to be a tough competitor
Believe it or not - the Fiat Panda Cross has been named Best Crossover 2020 by 4x4 Magazine in its annual 4x4 of the Year Awards.
This is a tough competition and to win this award four years in a row, speaks for itself.
Alan Kidd, editor of 4×4 Magazine, commented, “The Panda Cross just keeps on winning its class in our awards. The Crossover’s category is a very wide one, and the opposition comes in many shapes and sizes, but there’s just nothing else to match its combination of point-and-squirt road manners, funky looks and remarkable off-road ability.
“People in countries where winter means something, or who live at the end of an Alpine track, buy vehicles like this because off-roading is a way of life, not a hobby. It might be small, but the Panda has loads of traction and incredible manoeuvrability – and the TwinAir engine makes a lovely noise as well as dishing out more torque than you’d believe possible.”
The Panda can also lay claim to being the first city car with 4WD technology, first to have climbed to an altitude of 5 200m and reach the Everest base camp and also being the first natural gas-fuelled city car to be produced on a large scale.
