Video Summary
Here's a summary of the video:The video reviews the new Fiat Grande Panda, which shares its base with the Citroen C3 using the Stellantis Smart Car platform. The car measures just under four meters long and is bigger than the current Panda and the original Panda.
The Grande Panda offers both gasoline and electric drivetrain options. The gasoline version uses a 1.2 liter, three-cylinder engine with a small electric motor, both generating 100 horsepower total system power. The electric variant has a motor on the front axle making 113 horsepower.
The electric version goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds and has a top speed of 132 km/h. The car has a 44 kWh battery pack for a range of 320 kilometers on paper; the actual range is a bit less.
Charging can be done at 100 kW which takes 27 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. Home charging can be done up to 11 kW. The charging cable is incorporated into the car, which is unique to this carmaker, and pulls out of the front of the car like a vacuum cord.
Designwise, the Grande Panda takes design inspiration from the Fiat Panda of the 1980s. The square pixel headlights and the tail lights on the back of the car are reminiscent of old factories and those large factory windows can also be found on the dashboard. The car's seats use blocks reminiscent of the old Panda seats.
The back features 361 liters of luggage space, more than the Citroen C3 and the Renault 5. Rear seat space is less than the Citroen but better than in the Renault 5.
The Panda's driving performance is comparable to the C3 but is a bit stiffer. The steering feels nice too. The base version costs 25,990 Euros, a price that applies to both gasoline and electric drivetrains. Even the base trim, "Red Trim," is already well-equipped.
