AutoExec Summary
Fiat has unveiled the 2025 Fiat Grande Panda, set to be one of Australia’s most affordable battery-electric SUVs. The new model will offer both combustion and all-electric powertrains, with the electric version priced under €25,000. The Grande Panda, replacing the aging third-gen Panda, will be larger and feature SUV styling. It will ride on the Stellantis STLA Smart Car platform and draw design inspiration from the Fiat Concept City Car. The electric model is expected to have an 83kW e-motor and a 44kWh battery with a range of up to 320km. The combustion lineup will include hybrids, and a Panda 4×4 replacement is also in the works. Production of the third-gen Panda will continue until 2030. The Grande Panda will initially launch in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, with possible expansion to Australia. Pricing and launch details will be revealed before the European launch.
