FIAT has opened orders for its award-winning Grande Panda in the UK, which will be unveiled to the public in a nationwide ‘preview tour’ starting on 4th September 2025.
Designed at FIAT’s Centro Stile in Turin, the Grande Panda is notable for its compact size, clean lines and organised interior. It draws inspiration from the iconic Fiat Panda of the 1980s, reflecting the brand’s signature style and offering an ideal mobility solution for both family and urban life.
Even before its public debut, Grande Panda is a multi-award winner. Crowned ‘Best Small Car’ at the prestigious Autocar Awards 2025, the new model was praised by judges for its ‘innovative design, practicality and affordability’. When announcing it as ‘Supermini of the Year 2025’, Auto Express highlighted Grande Panda’s ‘cheeky nature, comfort, practicality and affordability’, while Eco Car exclaimed how it is ‘packed to the gills with stylistic touches that hark back to the original panda’ but is ‘bang up to date with efficient drivetrains, top-notch packaging, and a warm-hearted chummy feel’, when naming it as its ‘Most Eagerly Awaited Electrified Car 2025’.
A nationwide ‘preview tour’ will allow potential buyers the first opportunity to see Grande Panda and to engage with product experts to better understand its detail. The tour starts on 4th September and will continue in FIAT retailers throughout the UK until 11th October.
Giuseppe Cava, managing director of FIAT UK, said: “We are delighted to open orders for Grande Panda in the UK. The response to the car has been incredible so far and we are very proud that it has been recognised with so many awards.
“The several thousand registrations of interest on our website suggest that Grande Panda has already struck a chord with UK drivers, and we’re really looking forward to the preview tour starting. Our customers can come along, learn more about the car and see for themselves why our new FIAT is so special.”
Mark Pardoe, CEO of Griffin Mill Garages, FIAT retailer in Pontypridd, South Wales, said: “We’ve certainly had significant interest in Grande Panda and it’s clear that customers are excited to get to see and drive it. It will suit lots of needs, appealing to younger drivers seeking a stylish, urban car and families, needing good value and practicality.”
Fiat Grande Panda is available to order now with a choice of powertrains. The fully electric versions combine a 44kWh battery with an 83kW e-motor (113 HP), to deliver a WLTP range of 199 miles.
