WHY EVERYONE WILL BUY THIS CAR

EV Channels Review

The Fiat Grande Panda makes a strong visual statement with its retro, blocky, and almost 'Minecraft-like' aesthetic, which the reviewer finds highly appealing and desirable. Inside, the retro theme continues with comfortable seats and unique design elements, though some materials feel cheap and scratch easily, a common trait in this price bracket. The infotainment system is basic but functional, with the welcome inclusion of physical climate controls. Practicality is decent for a small car, with good headroom and acceptable knee room, though the EV version's battery impacts footwell depth. The boot offers a respectable 360L capacity in the EV. On the downside, the reviewer highlights the lack of one-pedal driving, no vanity mirrors, a small rear wiper, and the absence of adaptive cruise control. The EV's real-world range is a significant concern, delivering only around 120 miles compared to the claimed 199 miles. Despite its flaws, the Grande Panda is praised for its character, value, and the availability of both petrol and electric powertrains, making it a compelling option for those prioritizing style and cost-effectiveness.
