Fiat has introduced their new Grande Panda hybrid, already introduced in DVN Interior. Following the recent release of the fully electric version, and presentation of a hybrid model, Fiat emphasizes the use of sustainable materials and showcases new technology. Three trims are available: Pop, Icon and La Prima.
The Grande Panda hybrid features a Bambox ‘bamboo fiber tex’ dashboard. Elsewhere in the vehicle, 140 recycled beverage cartons have been used, repurposing the non-recyclable layers into Lapolen Ecotek, a striking blue plastic with a shimmering aluminum finish, used throughout the interior.
The compact exterior conceals an unexpectedly roomy interior, with best-in-class shoulder width, modular storage and expressive design. The cabin’s Blu Tasmania color scheme includes bright yellow accents on the dashboard, infotainment area, and seat stitching
The Pop trim features an infotainment system with 10.25″ screen, cruise control, LED lighting, manual air conditioning, and rear parking sensors. The Icon trim adds a higher level of comfort and personalization, with roof rails and skid plates, a central armrest, and privacy glass. And the top La Prima trim adds heated front seats and front and rear parking sensors with rearview camera. It also features high-quality fabrics.
All trims come with a comprehensive ADAS suite, including cruise control, speed limiter, active safety brake, lanekeeping assist, driver attention warning and open-door alerts. The La Prima trim adds front sensors and a rearview camera. Connectivity is supported through the onboard 10″ digital cluster, 10.25″ central touchscreen, and wireless smartphone mirroring. Fiat offers two service packages: Connect One, including emergency call, roadside assistance and vehicle health reports; and Connect Plus, which adds vehicle finder and other services to improve maintenance, such as vehicle information and vehicle health alert, available through the Fiat mobile app.
