The future of Fiat Panda promises to be full of news, with the best seller of the Italian brand destined to change the face of its range by expanding its range of action and above all by opening a new course within the Turin brand’s offer. The new generation of the Italian compact will embrace different segments and different types of cars, all united by the trend of sustainable mobility: starting with the Centoventi concept, presented more than 3 years ago at the Geneva Motor Show, the car manufacturer led by Olivier Francois will propose a model that is always accessible, a Tesla of the people to use the words spoken by the manager of the Stellantis group.
Possible that the production of this new generation of Pandas is no longer in Italy, even if the Pomigliano d’Arco plant and above all its employees have been reassured that the car will remain on the lines of the Campania plant at least until 2026. It is not clear, however, whether it will already be the version renewed or the latest aftermath of the current one. On the other hand, it is possible that all production will be diverted to Serbia, at the Kragujevac site. The assembly abroad could favor the objective of maintaining a price list of less than 20,000 euros, while at the same time guaranteeing the quality-price ratio that has convinced millions of motorists to date.
The starting point should be the CMP platform, an architecture that will be integrated into the STLA Small and that will allow the use of advanced software and electrified powertrains. It will then be goodbye to segment A, with the expansion in segments B and C that will take place through different interpretations of the soul of this model. The place among the most compact city cars could be taken by the Fiat Topolino, the rebadge of the Citroen Ami (and Opel Rocks) announced on several occasions but not yet directly confirmed by the Turin car manufacturer. The new generation of Fiat Panda will therefore lead the way to a new generation of the Italian brand’s car. All that remains is to wait a few months to find out what the future of the Lingotto best seller will be.
