STYLE & CHARACTER
 
The New Panda is a multipurpose supermini with a surprising amount of interior space. Despite its pint-sized interior (it is 354 centimetres long, 158 wide and 154 high with a wheelbase of 230 centimetres) it offers passenger room at the peak of its category and boasts one of the best Cd results in its segment: 0.33. These are winning attributes for this originally-designed car and immediately make you feel like jumping aboard and setting off. This is, in any case, Fiat's new approach to creating cars. 

The New Panda's well-proportioned, dynamic exterior shape is also distinguished by an extra dash of elegance. The result is a range unlike any other car that combines aesthetic satisfaction with superlative practicality and the greatest comfort. All in all, the New Panda reveals itself at first glance to be a car that can meet all the needs of up-to-date, smart cookies. The front end confirms the car's membership of the Fiat family. All the front features blend harmoniously with one another: rectangular headlights join an understated grille to create a pleasing visual effect. The bumper shield features a lower air intake that develops along its entire width and fits effectively into the front end to ensure optimum protection against minor impacts while still increasing the impression of a sturdy, safe car. This impression is also reinforced by a bumper that tapers off toward the front and joins firmly to the windscreen as on a true MPV. 

The same MPV practicality is suggested by the side view, due to the outstanding way the shape of the front end and windscreen match the upright rump. The side, in particular, is given structure by a dihedron that runs along its length. The resulting load-bearing structure, combined with the very evident wheelarches, gives the New Panda a feeling of great solidity but also of accentuated dynamism. 

The upper part deserves a separate mention. Here the bow-shaped windows in both doors are linked in an original way (through the quarter light) with the tail-lights to give shape to an unmistakeable graphic motif. This distinctive feature of the new model also recurs in the alloy wheel trim and hub design. Generously-sized wheels also help create an image of a substantial, practical car. 

The same effect of dynamic stability is evident at the rear of the New Panda. The upright configuration emphasises the model's generous versatility while also contributing to the idea of a sturdy, reliable vehicle. The design of the vertical headlights is also original. They look like two lighted towers that reinforce the impression of sturdiness while also giving the model a pronounced personality of its own. A generous tailgate also aids access to the big luggage compartment, a feature particularly appreciated by customers in this segment. At the rear, the bumpers fit in perfectly with the car's tail end. 

Customers can choose from a lively range of non-metallic and metallic colours, These eleven shades add an extra touch of style to the car and make it even more fun and bubbly. Non-metallic shades are as follows: white, Titian red, Guacamole green, Vanilla yellow, Cocktail blue and Dry turquoise. Metallic colours are as follows: Steel grey, Theseus blue, black, Scylla red and Sparkling light blue. 

New interior design

From original exterior styling to new design interiors. Despite its small size, once you climb aboard the New Panda you will be amazed at the size of its passenger compartment and interior space. And more. The high driving position and oceans of glass with rear quarter lights allow you full mastery of the road. The cockpit is made even more comfortable by the ergonomic control position, the legroom and the great freedom of movement in the upper area of the passenger compartment. 

The up-to-date, appealing facia design is also pleasing and practical. Suffice it to say that all the controls are within easy reach on the central console: the gearlever on the lower part assures outstanding manoeuvrability in complete safety. The heater controls are arranged in the middle close to the original round outlets. The radio is built into the upper part and offers exceptional visibility without distracting you from your driving. 

The door panel design also blends into that of the facia and offers a mix of practical and aesthetically pleasing features. Examples include: an original cloth-trimmed island, a convenient armrest with handle and a roomy oddment pouch lower down. The seats are also very comfortable. This is partly due to their excellent lateral containment, a feature particularly appreciated by those who prefer a sporty drive. A surprisingly wide rear seat and ample available space combine to create a very comfortable environment for rear passengers as well. The possibility of folding the rear seat backrest, aided by the upright position of the tailgate, offers a load compartment of considerable size. 

The passenger compartment design is complemented by a rectangular-shaped luggage compartment that is large and easy to use despite the exterior supermini configuration. 

The New Panda's body colours are matched on the inside by brand-new bright trim shades that are better quality than anything offered by the competition in this category. It all adds up to a bright environment that is made even more stylish by the colour contrast between the controls (darker in colour) and the well-proportioned surfaces. Each of the three specifications offers interior trims with different cloths and decorations, each available in two bright colours: yellow and blue. 

Accessories

The New Panda accessory range was designed by the Fiat Style Centre in conjunction with the new model. It offers all customers, even the most demanding, a wide choice of solutions that suit the car perfectly and emphasise its attributes. These accessories emphasise the model's practicality and versatility while also meeting the functional and emotional needs of any customer. Here are some of the numerous possibilities of customising your New Panda to your own tastes. 
Those who seek out-and-out sports customisation can choose a kit including sideskirts and a spoiler on the tailgate. You can also choose one of two different types of 14" alloy wheels combined with 165/65 tyres. Inside, sports aficionados can order aluminium pedals with rubber inserts in addition to a leather steering wheel and gear knob. 

Other items offer a stylish, comfortable complement to the interior specifications. They can be chosen in accordance with personal tastes and needs. Other features include up-to-the-minute turbulence deflectors and mats in rubber or carpet. Not forgetting that the New Panda Accessory range also offers practical items that can be used to make the most of interior space. For this purpose, we have created nets in various shapes and sizes to be secured in the boot and under the load compartment parcel rack. For example, a net separates the luggage compartment from the rest of the passenger compartment, ideal for animal lovers because it allows pets to be carried in safety. You can also order a handy tray that protects the load compartment and allows you to load any items or materials with peace of mind. 

Other accessories cater for leisure use, such as stylish transverse roof bars. These aluminium bars fasten to the roof rails and can be used to carry bicycle holders, surfboard holders and ski holders. All versions also come with a provision for bolting conventional bars directly onto the roof. 

A huge array of child seats (built for various ages and weights) allows you to carry the smallest passengers in safety. Because the New Panda is equipped with special 
Isofix attachments, you can also fit a special Kiddy Isofix seat for children up to 18 kg. The Accessory range offers various types of antitheft device from a conventional system to the satellite system that is the most sophisticated of all car protection devices.
