How we test cars

While the word “Panda” is written in big letters across its side, the new Fiat Grande Panda Electric is a far cry from Pandas of old. This new take on the famous nameplate is larger, more SUV-like and fully electric.

Mechanically speaking, the Grande Panda Electric is closely related to the Citroën ë-C3 and, like that model, you can have it as a petrol-sipping Fiat Grande Panda Hybrid, too. As such, if you’re hesitant to make the switch to fully electric motoring or want to save yourself some cash, you’re in luck.

The price jump from hybrid to electric is reasonable, though, and the electric Grande Panda is one of the cheapest electric cars on sale. It undercuts the Hyundai Inster and Renault 5. Sure, the ë-C3 and BYD Dolphin Surf are even cheaper buys, but not by much.

But is the Fiat Grande Panda Electric’s low pricing its only strength or is there more bamboo to chew, if you will? Here, we put it to the test against the best electric car rivals...

What’s new?

- April 2026: We attend the UK media launch of the Fiat Grande Panda

- September 2025: Orders open. Icon trim joins range

- January 2025: Prices announced. 44kWh battery, 112bhp electric motor. Red or La Prima trims

- June 2024: First pictures of Grand Panda Electric first shown

Verdict

Star Rating Red Star Rating Red Star Rating Red Star Rating Red Star Rating Grey

The Fiat Grande Panda Electric’s low pricing is simply the cherry on top of a good electric car. It's relatively roomy and the near-200-mile official range means it’ll work for more people than the Dacia Spring. The Hyundai Inster and Renault 5 are a bit better executed in places, but choosing the Grande Panda Electric is no bad move. Go for Icon trim for the best balance of kit and cost.

Trims available


Pop

Considering it’s the entry-level trim, Pop is reasonably well equipped. It comes with LED headlights, rear parking sensors, manual air-conditioning, cruise control, and front and rear electric windows, as well as a 10in driver’s display and a 10.0in infotainment touchscreen.

La Prima

The range-topping trim – La Prima – does push up the price a bit but is very well equipped. It comes with a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, a wireless phone-charger, automatic lights and wipers, and built-in sat nav.

Icon

Icon trim comes with a similar amount of kit to Pop but adds a few more styling and comfort features, such as 16in alloy wheels, roof rails, a central armrest, an interior reading lamp and rear seatback pockets. It also gets padded door armrests and 60/40 split folding rear seats.

How fast is it and which motor is best?

The Fiat Grande Panda Electric has a 111bhp electric motor that drives the front wheels and provides a 0-62mph time of 11.0sec.

Those numbers are tame by electric car standards, but in reality the Grande Panda Electric is quick enough, certainly around town. For more performance, consider a Renault 5.


Is it agile and is the ride comfortable?

While Citroën chose a more comfort-focused approach with its Citroën ë-C3, Fiat wanted to provide its Grande Panda with more agility. As a result, the Grande Panda’s suspension is firmer than the ë-C3’s, meaning it feels slightly dartier, and it’s more composed on a twisty road.

However, we’d stop short of calling the Grande Panda sharp or fun to drive. The rubbery feel of the steering, somewhat weak-feeling brakes and noticeable body lean mean the Grande Panda is no dynamo in the bends. It’s safe and secure enough, but that’s the extent of it. If handling is a priority, you’ll be better off with an R5.

What’s more, the Grande Panda’s firmer suspension makes for a less forgiving ride than the ë-C3’s. It’s not uncommon to find yourself jiggled around in your seat while the car thumps over bumps and potholes.

advertisement

scroll for more

True, it’s rarely jarring, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re choosing between the two cars: do you want slightly better handling at the expense of some ride comfort? We suspect most people would side with the ë-C3.


Is it quiet and how easy is it to drive smoothly?

The Grande Panda Electric zips around smoothly and mostly silently, with just a faint whine from the electric motor.

Meanwhile, road and wind noise only creep into play during motorway driving – and neither ever reaches Dacia Spring levels of annoyance.

What’s the range and efficiency like, and how quickly can it charge?

The Grande Panda Electric’s 44kWh battery provides 199 miles of official range. That’s good at this price point, even if it's disappointing there's no larger battery option (like there is with the Renault 5). Still, you won’t get much more out of the BYD Dolphin Surf or Citroën ë-C3.

DC charging speeds for the Grande Panda Electric are up to 100kW, which is faster than an equivalent BYD Dolphin or Hyundai Inster but slower than an MG4. At that speed, you’ll see a 10-80% charge in a little more than half an hour. A standard 7kW home charger will charge the Grande Panda from 20-100% in about four hours.

What does the interior look like and is it well made?

We prefer the Fiat Grande Panda Electric’s interior to the one in the Citroën ë-C3. The ë-C3 is fine, with its smart design and good use of fabrics, but it has a rather dark, almost old-fashioned look to it.

advertisement

scroll for more

The Grande Panda is the opposite, with bright colours everywhere and a modern, stylish look. In some ways, it feels reminiscent of the excellent interior of the Renault 5 but with generally cheaper materials used and slightly less robust-feeling build quality.


Is the driving position comfortable and is it easy to see out?

You sit up higher in the Grande Panda than in your typical small car – a VW Polo, for example – so it feels a bit like a small SUV with a raised view out.

The seats are good for thigh support but a little lacking in side support, meaning you have to brace yourself when cornering even semi swiftly, otherwise you can feel as though you’re falling out of the seat. We wish the seats had a bit more padding, too; ë-C3’s are better for that.


Are the dashboard and infotainment system easy to use?

All Grande Pandas come with a 10.0in digital driver’s display, which is not very configurable but has more modern-looking graphics than the ë-C3’s display.

You also get a 10.25in infotainment touchscreen with intuitively laid-out menus and generally a good response time to your inputs. Plus, you can bypass the built-in software by using the standard Android Auto or Apple CarPlay phone mirroring.

scroll for more

In entry-level Pop trim, the Grande Panda comes with manual air-conditioning, while La Prima trim gets automatic air-con. Either way, you have a dedicated panel with physical controls, making them easy to operate while you're driving – unlike in the MG4, where you adjust air-con settings on the touchscreen.

“I think the Fiat Grande Panda Electric’s interior is one of its best qualities. It’s perhaps the definition of cheap and cheerful.” – Oliver Young, Reviewer

Strengths

Weaknesses

How much space does it have for people?

People sitting in the Fiat Grande Panda Electric’s front seats have space to stretch, even if they’re both six-foot tall. Another pair of six-footers will be fairly comfortable in the back seats too, but their knees could be lightly touching the seatbacks. The Renault 5 is more cramped, although the Hyundai Inster is even roomier.

advertisement

scroll for more

The Grande Panda is wide enough to fit a third person in the middle rear seat without too much discomfort, although it's not an ideal set-up for long journeys.


How much room does it have for luggage?

Rear-seat passengers don't get a central armrest, but there are large storage pockets on the front seatbacks, plus smaller ones for phones. In the front there are effectively two gloveboxes – one in the usual spot and one higher up. There’s also enough space in the door bins and central storage area for a few cans or bottles.

The Grande Panda's boot space has a volume of 361 litres. That's similar to the MG4, and more than the BYD Dolphin and Citroën ë-C3. Like with the ë-C3, there's no adjustable boot floor, and the rear seats don’t do anything clever, such as slide and recline like they do in the Hyundai Inster. They just split 60/40 to fold down.

“For your average family, I think the Fiat Grande Panda Electric offers more than enough space.” – Oliver Young, Reviewer

Entry-level Pop trim is quite basic – its white steel wheels are bound to divide opinion. Mid-range Icon trim gets a few more desirable features, such as alloy wheels, fabric trim on the front doors, a central armrest and third headrest in the back. The price premium is small and we think it’s worth paying.

La Prima is well equipped, getting luxuries such as a wireless phone-charger, heated steering wheel, heated seats, rear privacy glass and automatic climate control. It’s worth considering but the price jump puts the Grande Panda in Hyundai Inster and Renault 5 territory – and it loses that fight.


Is it reliable, and how long is the warranty?

In terms of reliability, Fiat underperformed in our 2025 What Car? Reliability Survey, finishing 28th out of 30 brands. That said, we don’t have specific data for the Grande Panda yet, so we’re still waiting to get the full picture.

Fiat gives you a standard three-year, 60,000-mile warranty on the Grande Panda. The Grande Panda Electric’s battery is covered for eight years and 100,000 miles.

How safe is it, and is it easy to steal?

The Grande Panda has not yet been tested by the safety experts at Euro NCAP but as standard it comes with lane-keep assist, speed-limit recognition, a driver attention alert system and automatic emergency braking (AEB).

The Grande Panda comes with modern security features, and even the most basic version gets an alarm.

“The Fiat Grande Panda Electric is a bargain, but I wouldn’t consider it a bargain-bin product.” – Oliver Young, Reviewer


Buy it if…

– You’re looking at EVs that are on the more affordable end of the spectrum

– You need a reasonably big boot

– You like bright, colourful, funky interiors

Don’t buy it if…

– You regularly do long journeys

– You want the best riding or handling EV

– You’d like lively acceleration
