Fiat brings the new Grande Panda: fresh wind in the small car segment!
The Fiat brand has established itself as a specialist for small and small cars and plans to fill an important gap in the small car segment with the new Grande Panda. This gap was created by leaving the models Uno and Punto, such as Oe24 . With a length of less than four meters and a design that is based on the original Panda from 1980, Fiat aims at a nostalgic but also modern audience.
Technically speaking, the Grande Panda will be based on the Stellantis technology and offer both fully electric and mild hybrid drives. The fully electric drive is equipped with a BEV battery capacity of 44 kWh, which achieves a range of up to 320 km. The price starts at € 18,990 for the mild hybrid version and € 26,900 for the fully electric variant. The exact dimensions of the vehicle are 3,999 mm (L) x 1,663 mm (B) x 1,570 mm (h) with a wheelbase of 2,540 mm; The vehicle weight is at least 1,240 kg.innovations in the automotive industry
The introduction of the Grande Panda takes place against the background of a changing automotive industry. According to Ey , automotive companies are faced with opportunities and challenges that are shaped by disruptive forces such as electrification, connectivity and decarbonization. The events of the Corona crisis also accelerated this transformation and pushed the search for new business models.
Digital technology plays a crucial role in the new mobility ecosystem. Software and data now make up about half of the value of innovative vehicles. Traditional automobile manufacturers are increasingly transforming from production to mobility companies, while new actors from other industries occur to develop innovative solutions for changing customer needs.

The Grande Panda will also be an important part of the Fiat strategy in order not only to address nostalgic customers, but also to win new layers of buyers through modern drives and technology functions.
The automotive industry is facing a variety of changes, and vehicles like the Grande Panda are expression of a trend towards more environmentally friendly, more technologically progressive and customer -oriented mobility offers. The Grande Panda will also continue the inheritance of the brand and at the same time set the course for the future.
