2026 Fiat Grande Panda La Prima — Small Car, Big Personality

Welcome to Mobility Insider. This is the new Fiat Grande Panda La Prima Electric and it comes with one of three power trains: Either fully electric with 113 HP, or a mild-hybrid 3-cylinder 1.2l turbo petrol with 110 HP and auto-transmission, or as a “conventional” petrol car with a 3-cylinder, 1.2l turbo petrol engine with 100 HP and 6-speed manual transmission. Prices start at 14,990 for the cheapest petrol. The Panda is built on a multi-energy smart platform which is shared with sister models Opel Frontera, Jeep Avenger and Citroen ë-C3 Aircross, also from Stellantis. The Panda name is one of the most important in the history of Fiat. It has always represented simple, clever and affordable mobility. Over the decades it became one of Europe’s best selling city cars. The new Grande Panda is another design hit from Fiat. At Fiat, design always played a big role. The new Grande Panda was designed in Turin, and it clearly references the boxy design language of the original Panda from the 1980s. You see this in the squared shapes, the simple surfaces and the distinctive light signatures plus many hidden logos here and there. It is compact and city-friendly. It measures 400 cm in the length and 201.7 cm in the width. The Grande Pande is still small enough to easily navigate narrow streets and tight parking spaces — something that matters in many European cities. The turning radius is just 10.9 meters and makes city parking easy. The dashboard design is playful and colourful — very much in line with FIAT’s tradition — and includes a 10” driver information screen and a 10.25” touchscreen infotainment system. The 6 speakers actually make a decent job. There is ample space in the front, even for taller people, but legroom in the back is quite tight. The trunk space is 361 liters, also fine for most tasks. With the rear seats folded the space increases to 1315 liters. It can load 75 kg on the roof and with a towing hitch it may pull up to 550 kg. With 113 horsepower it is not a performance car, but acceleration in the city is lively. FIAT quotes 0 to 50 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, which is what matters most in urban traffic, and 0-100 km/h takes 9.8 seconds according to our test. The top speed is limited to 132 km/h, which is adequate for a compact city car. According to Fiat, the 43.8-kWh battery supports DC fast charging up to 100 kW, allowing a 20–80% charge in about 28 minutes. It’s simple, practical, refreshingly honest and great in everyday use – Fiat calls their concept EASY-DRIVE and goes well hand in hand with their No Gray initiative. This car does not try to compete with high-tech premium electric vehicles. Instead, it focuses on what many customers are looking for: affordable, easy-to-use electric mobility. The range and charging speed are ok for daily use with home charging overnight. This vehicle was kindly provided to us by Carvolution.
