Fiat delivers jolt of color, creativity with Panda
Fiat delivers jolt of color, creativity with Panda-May 2024
2024-03-10 EDT 23:52:34

  Fiat is taking a slightly more fun approach to developing EVs. The company is showing off a hefty five new EV concepts that show off what it thinks the future of electric cars will look like and that will ultimately serve as inspiration for future EVs that will launch starting later this year.

  The cars are inspired by the city cars built by Italian automaker Panda and will launch starting in July 2024 with a new city car. Fiat will then launch a new model each year for three more years. Its unclear if the cars will launch in the U.S., though they could end up inspiring other future EVs that do launch in the U.S.

  Discover the future of Fiat together with Olivier Francois, from Ginevra - Italy Unfortunately, Fiat hasnt shared anything about the specifications of the cars, and we likely wont hear details like that until the cars launch in their final forms to the public.

  Stellantis The first of the four concepts is the City Car concept, which is similar to the original Fiat Panda. It has a pretty square shape and two doors, and in the concept, it sports pink tires, which likely wont make it to the production model. Also included is a pixel light design at the front of the car, which is reminiscent of the Ioniq 5 and even more prominent. Perhaps even more interesting is the interior of the car, which, again, will likely not make it to production. The interior has a modular dashboard with seats that look more like outdoor lounge chairs than seats for a car. Its fun to look at but probably not practical for real-world use.

  Stellantis The next concept car is built as a spacious SUV for families. It has oversized wheels and a dual-tone color scheme. Fiat showcased an EV variant, along with hybrid and gas-powered variants though well have to wait and see if all of those powertrain options see a launch.

  Stellantis Third up is a Panda camper, which is taller than the SUV and has what looks to be all-terrain tires and a roof rack. Theres an integrated ladder and even an integrated windmill to generate power.

  Stellantis Fourth is the Panda pickup truck, which has a smaller cargo bed and a full-width tailgate, though the bed doesnt really look all that large. Perhaps more interesting are the lights that can be removed from the front of the car and installed on the roof rack.

  Stellantis Last but not least is the hatchback, which is built with a sportier design and a fastback body style. It, too, has oversized wheels and a dual-tone color scheme with pixel lights on the tail.

  Recommended Videos If these cars ever see the light of day, theres alot that wont make it to production but its still a fun look and an interesting showcase for where Fiat thinks these cars could go in the near future.

Mercedes-Benz A250 AMG Line (2019) Review
Mercedes-Benz A250 AMG Line (2019) Review
While we await the arrival of the Mercedes-AMG A35 and A45 4Matic, the A250 AMG Line is the most performance-oriented A-Class derivative you can buy. Does it offer enough punch and status to justify its near-R600k price tag? We like: Impressive ride/handling balance, classy cabin, strong performance We don't like: Needs a significant...

Hyundai i10 N Line – Smallest N Yet?
Hyundai has shown off the new i10 compact city car with an N Line kit at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. This isn't a performance variant though as the designation is 'N Line' as opposed to 'N'. So while it looks the part, it certainly won't boast any breathtaking...
