The renewed 69 HP 1.2 Fire gasoline engine and the 75 HP 1.3 Multijet II, also with Start&Stop supplied standard, complete the range.

At its launch, the new model is available with front-wheel drive, and then the Panda 4x4 will make its debut.

The Panda will also offer the “Low Speed Collision Mitigation” braking system and the “Blue&Me TomTom 2 LIVE” navigation system, Gear Shift Indicator (GSI), ecoDrive and ECO mode of the TwinAir Turbo engine.
