City-sized personality, honest looks

The Panda wears its purpose on its sleeve with a boxy, upright silhouette that maximizes interior space while staying compact outside; at 3,635 mm long it slips into tight parking spots with ease. Styling blends playful Fiat cues with practical details like tall glass areas and useful roofline, so it looks friendly rather than fussy. The overall presence is more functional charm than fashion statement, which suits buyers who prefer usefulness over flash.

Simple cabin, smart touches

Inside the Panda the theme is clear: durable materials and straightforward controls that keep life easy rather than luxurious, with seating for 4 and ergonomics aimed at short trips and daily routines. The dashboard layout is uncluttered, surfaces are hard-wearing and switches are chunky and easy to use — ideal in gloves or rainy weather. Storage cubbies and a sensible driving position make the interior feel honest and purposeful rather than premium.

Compact outside, surprisingly flexible inside

Practicality is where the Panda scores: the boot starts at 225 L for everyday shopping and expands up to 870 L with rear seats folded for weekend loads, while a tall cabin lets luggage stack efficiently. Rear space suits children or shorter adults comfortably, but adults on long motorway stints will find rear legroom limited compared with larger hatchbacks. Payload of 365 kg and clever packaging mean the car handles small moves, flatpacks and holiday luggage better than its footprint suggests.

Nimble in the city, modest on the motorway

The 1.0-litre three‑cylinder MHEV produces 70 HP and 92 Nm, driving the front wheels through a manual gearbox — enough for brisk urban progress but not for sporty bursts. Acceleration to 100 km/h in about 13.9 s and a top speed near 164 km/h mean motorway trips are possible but require planning for overtakes. On twisty B-roads the Panda is light and easy to place, with predictable handling and a suspension that favours comfort over razor-sharp responses.

Frugal real-world running costs

The mild-hybrid setup helps keep fuel use low, with a combined figure around 5.0 L/100 km, translating to a theoretical range of roughly 760 km from the 38 L tank on mixed driving. CO2 emissions of about 113 g/km and a curb weight near 1,055 kg underline the Panda’s emphasis on light, efficient urban transport rather than outright performance. In everyday use this means fewer fill-ups and lower running costs for city commuters and occasional longer trips.

Basic aids, modern convenience where it counts

Technology in the Panda is pragmatic: intuitive infotainment and connectivity options are available, with smartphone mirroring and simple menus prioritising ease over flashy graphics. Driver assistance tends to be the essentials — helpful urban aids rather than advanced semi-autonomous systems — so expect lane-keeping alerts, emergency braking and parking aids on certain trims. The focus is on making daily driving less stressful rather than automating it entirely.

Who buys a Panda?

The Panda suits urban dwellers, budget‑focused buyers and small families who value clever packaging, low running costs and an easy-to-drive car for everyday life. It’s ideal as a first car, second car or a commuter machine where practicality and low ownership costs beat outright speed or luxury. Those needing five full-size seats, rapid motorway performance or cutting‑edge tech should look higher up the segment, while anyone wanting compact, cheerful and efficient transport will find the Panda a sensible choice.
