Fiat’s long-serving Panda hatchback will be joined by the new Grande Panda, a larger and mechanically different vehicle. We say joined, because the current Panda – despite having been on the market for almost 14 years – will soldier on until at least 2027.

As the name implies, the Grande Panda is significantly larger (300mm longer) and shares much of its underpinnings with Citroën’s latest C3. This is likely to include the powerplant options, which should encompass hybrid and electric units – the former a 1.2l, three-cylinder turbopetrol with an electric motor with a combined output of 77kW, and the latter an 83kW e-motor with an operating range of 314km.

The boxy design is a nod to that of the original car from 1980, while the interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, bamboo-fibre trim for the facia and a 361l boot.
The full feature will be published in the October issue of CAR Magazine.
