This is the all-new Fiat Grande Panda!

Fiat has really embraced a retro aesthetic with the new Granda Panda, and at first glance, we think it looks absolutely great!

But is it more style over substance? Or are you better off choosing a competitor such as the Hyundai Inster or Renault 5? Let’s take a closer look…

The exterior design of the Grande Panda will easily help it stand out on any street, especially in this bright yellow paint job! From the front end, the blocky-styled headlights and front end give it an almost Minecraft-like look, but that’s no bad thing! Along the side, there’s a huge Panda logo embossed across the doors, and little Fiat badges and emblems are found throughout. The range-topping car we have here also comes with roof rails and a blacked-out rear window. Around the back, the retro-inspired, blocky design continues, with a 3D Panda badge, block-shaped rear taillights, and additional plastic trim.

Step inside and the Grande Panda continues to impress. The retro, blocky style continues, as found with the air vents and the padded (as well as comfortable!) seats. There are bamboo/wood-effect materials across the dash, as well as a large dual digital dial & infotainment screen. The system and customisation of the dials may be quite basic, but it’s about what you would expect from a car at this price point. The same can be said for the materials throughout most of the cabin, but it’s a similar story when you look at this car’s key competitors.

The Grande Panda is available as either an ICE or EV. If you want petrol power, you can choose a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that comes with front-wheel drive and 110hp. If you want an EV, you’ll find a single motor under the bonnet that drives the front wheels and delivers 113hp.

In terms of price, a petrol-powered Grande Panda starts from just £18,995, while the electric edition starts from £21,035. If you want to choose the range-topping EV (like the one in this video), it’ll only cost you £24,035! So is the EV the right choice? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
