Fiat Grande Panda: hybrid, electric and trims
The Fiat Grande Panda is a new-generation city car, unveiled in 2024. It replaces the long-running Panda concept: now it's a more spacious, square-shaped hatchback with a mild hybrid and electric version. We look at the variants and what to know when buying.
Grande Panda in brief
The Grande Panda is built on the Stellantis group's compact car platform and is around 4 metres long. Compared to the previous Panda, it's significantly larger, offers more space inside and in the boot, and has a more modern digital instrument cluster.
The design is inspired by the original Panda (1980) with its square shapes. As it's a new car, the used market is still small, and mileages are low.
Versions
The Grande Panda is available with a mild hybrid 1.2-litre petrol engine and an electric version. The hybrid is more economical than a standard petrol car and is suitable for city driving and short trips.
The electric Grande Panda (named Grande Panda Electric) has around a 44 kWh battery and sufficient range for city driving and short trips. Before buying, check the specific car's technical data.
Engines and gearboxes
The hybrid has a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid, around 110hp, and a 6-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox.
The electric version has around an 113hp electric motor. It's ideal for the city, but for longer trips, you'll need to plan your charging.
What to check when buying a used Grande Panda
Since the model is new, ask for a full service history and check that all manufacturer campaigns have been carried out. Test the digital equipment — the multimedia system, instrument cluster, and driver assistance features.
For the electric version, ask for battery condition data and check charging via AC and DC ports. For the hybrid, see if the gearbox operates smoothly, without juddering when moving off.
