The new generation of Fiat Panda will debut onJuly 11, 2024, presenting itself as a totally new model. It will make use of technologies coming from the PSA group, in particular the Stellantis Smart Car platformalready adopted by the new generation of Electric Citroen C3. The CEO Olivier François anticipated the arrival of this new Panda, describing it as “cool, popular and accessible” and pointing out that it will be similar to the Centoventi concept.
Therefore the new Panda will also be 100% electric. Before the official debut, i patent drawings deposited by Stellantis, which according to various rumors, could be the heir to the famous Panda.
New Fiat Panda, preview
the next generation of the Fiat Panda will undergo an evolution in dimensions, taking inspiration from the world of crossovers and by the style of Centoventi conceptpresented at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.
This indicates that the Fiat Panda will abandon its traditional format, adopted around twenty years ago, to embrace the style and functionality of small crossovers.
Taking the new C3 as a reference, the future Panda should have dimensions around 4,015 mm in length, 1,815 mm in width and 1,577 mm in height.
New Panda 2024
The new Fiat Panda could be available both with internal combustion engines and in a 100% electric version thanks to the multi-energy platform Stellantis Smart Car. The electric Panda could fit a electric motor 113 HP combined with a 44 kWh for distances in the order of 300kmrechargeable at a maximum power of 100 kWh, to which it switches from 20% to 80% charge in approximately 30 minutes.
To make the vehicle more accessible from an economic point of view, the accumulator could adopt al technology lithium iron phosphate (LFP)known to be cheaper compared to other types of lithium batteries. This choice could help keep costs down overall vehicle, thus making electric power more accessible.
New Fiat Panda as it will be
As mentioned, the next Fiat Panda will adopt a similar aesthetic to the Centoventi concept, as also confirmed by the patent drawings that have leaked online. The presence of practical details, such as the locks on the door handles, suggests that the images could refer to the production Panda and not to a concept.
L'raised structure and the general proportions of the car suggest the similarity in terms of technical setup with the Citroen C3.
Although the rear light clusters recall the style of the current Panda, many elements, especially from the 2019 Centoventi concept, are present in the new Panda, such as the modified front and the side evolved to adapt to the Smart platform.
Prices of the new Panda 2024
Always taking the C3 as a reference, the price of the Panda is around 20,000 euros. We hope that Stellantis tries to limit the price increase for this new futuristic version of the Panda as much as possible. It is important to remember that the success of the Panda, which has reached the top of sales in Italy and Europe, is attributable not only to the price, but also to the versatility, the practical and functional design and the reliability deriving from its construction simplicity.
In the future of this historical model it must also be said that the production of the Panda will be transferred from the Pomigliano plant to the former Zastava industrial center in Kragujevac, in Serbia. However, the production of the will remain in Pomigliano Hybrid pandaat least until 2026, currently available on the market.
