No compromise, low-priced electric cars are coming thick and fast, and the new Fiat Grande Panda is one of the best. Fiat has taken the recipe from the original 80s model with its boxy SUV-like shape and low price, and applied it to the Grande Panda which, actually isn’t all that grande – it’s about the same size as a supermini, only taller.
But where the original Panda was a no-frills family favourite, this latest car has all the safety kit you’d expect and a fair bit of luxury tech in there, too. It also has strong sustainability credentials. Plenty of the interior is made from recycled materials, and even the dash is partly covered in a material made from bamboo – a panda’s favourite food.
