Time-Traveling Companion: Introducing the Fiat Grande Panda Hybrid Vehicle
Catchy titles don't come much better than the one for Fiat's latest creation, the Grande Panda Hybrid. It's like stepping right out of a DeLorean, back to the future of automotive excellence!
In a nostalgic nod to the '80s, Fiat is re-imagining their iconic Panda. The charismatic, blocky compact car, which marked four million sales between 1980 and 2003, has been given a technologically advanced overhaul. Remembered for its utilitarian charm, today it can be called a gadget, thanks to its sleek design and winning aesthetic.
The inside of the Grande Panda is a fun fusion of the past and the present. The dashboard, with its innovative bamboo optics, is a playful little throwback to the iconic test track on the roof of Lingotto. Top-of-the-line models boast a stylized mini-Panda driving through the steep curve, reminding you of the good ol' days.
A Hybrid for the Masses
Under its hood, the Grande Panda packs a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine that generates 74 kW/101 PS. This powerhouse works in harmony with a mild hybrid system, which adds an extra 21 kW/28.6 PS for a total output of 110–111 horsepower. A nod to the environment without compromising on power, the turbo gasoline engine is eco-friendly and performance-driven.
With an automatic six-speed dual-clutch transmission (eDCT) specifically designed for electric drives, the hybrid system delivers efficient and silky-smooth performance. Its electric motor offers up to 1 km of zero-emission, electric-only driving in urban conditions.
