Fiat Grande Panda debuts with electric and hybrid powertrains

News

The new Fiat Grande Panda has made its debut equipped with a choice of electric and hybrid powertrains.

The Grande Panda is the first FIAT built on the Stellantis “Smart Car Platform” - a flexible and versatile multi-energy platform, which can cater to the needs and expectations of customers from various markets.

With a 44kWh battery and an 83kW e-motor (113 HP), the electric Grande Panda offers 199 miles of range in the WLTP combined cycle. The electric Fiat Grande Panda boasts a maximum speed of 82 mph and a 0-62 mph acceleration in 11 seconds (11.5 for La Prima).

The new global model is equipped with an integrated AC retractable cable at the front (in addition to the rear charging port), capable of charging at up to 7kW, completing a charge from 20% to 80% in 4 hours and 20 minutes. As an alternative to the retractable cable, based on customer preference or specific market requirements, a rear-only 11kW charging port can be chosen, with a recharging time from 20% to 80% in 2 hours and 50 minutes. For both solutions, a standard DC fast charging port at the rear is included, offering 100kW charging power and completing a charge in just 27 minutes.

The Hybrid version is equipped with a turbo 1.2 litre, 3-cylinder engine, 100 HP, a 48-volt Li-ion battery, and 6-speed electric dual-clutch transmission (eDCT) which includes the 21kW e-motor, inverter, and transmission central unit. This technology allows for energy recovery during deceleration.

The vehicle achieves an estimated CO2 output of just 123g/km (provisional pre-homologation figures) making it highly competitive with other brands. The hybrid powertrain has an e-launch function which gives it the the ability to start in 100% electric mode.
