The 101st Brussels Motor Show took place in Belgium last week and Fiat used it to put its new Grande Panda in the spotlight.
The Fiat Grande was first previewed last July during Fiat's 125 year anniversary in Turin. The new model will be available in Ireland later this year in both electric and hybrid powertrains, with pricing to be confirmed closer to then.
The fourth-generation Panda is compact, at just 3.99-metres long, but is still claimed to be capable of seating up to five people thanks to its spacious interior.
Its special exterior look is described by Fiat as "a subtle combination of structured lines and soft and bold surfaces that emphasise the robust wheel arches". The Grande Panda will come with bright body colours, which will include yellow (pictured ).
The rear features a bold character as well, thanks to its prominent wheel arches, the inclination of the windows, the overall layout of the rear window, headlights, and skids which give the Fiat Grande Panda a "protective and stable appearance and robust ground solidity".
The volume is increased too, thanks to the integration of a glossy black bezel with the three-dimensional letters of Panda – a nod to the original Panda.
To maintain the theme of 80s geometries combined with a futuristic style, the 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are amplified by a "captivating, stylized X design".
