The Fiat Grande Panda is poised to become one of the most affordable electric cars available, with a starting price expected to be around £22,000. This competitive pricing makes it an attractive option for budget-conscious eco-drivers seeking a practical and stylish electric vehicle.
This EV is expected to pack a punch with a 44kWh battery and a single electric motor delivering 111bhp. This combination ensures a driving range of up to 199 miles. The Grande Panda stays true to its heritage with its blocky design and prominent Panda branding.
The minimalist, rugged look extends to chunky front skid plates, pixel-inspired headlights, roof rails, and black cladding. Additionally, the Panda gets a five-seat cabin that features a vibrant 10.25-inch infotainment screen and a 10-inch instrument display, housed in a unique design reminiscent of Fiat’s historic Lingotto factory. The interior prioritizes a wooden feel, making it ideal for families on the go.
Fiat plans to introduce a new Panda derivative each year until 2027, including an SUV and a Ford Puma-sized Fastback model. This diverse lineup caters to a wider range of driver needs and preferences.
The Panda family stands apart from the rest of Fiat’s portfolio, which focuses on the classic 500 design. The Fiat Grande Panda is expected to be priced around £22,000 (Rs.23,33,804) to become a compelling option for families and eco-conscious drivers seeking a stylish and sporty electric vehicle.
