Fiat Grande Panda has been named ‘Supermini of the Year’ by Auto Express in its 2025 New Car Awards. The honour, received from Britain’s biggest selling and highly respected motoring magazine, is a further accolade for FIAT’s newest model, following it also being awarded the title of ‘Best Small Car’ by Autocar in its 2025 awards. The car, which will open for orders in the UK later this summer, was also ‘highly commended’ in the ‘Affordable Electric Car of the Year’ category of the awards. Designed to embody the pioneering and highly practical spirit of the 1980s original and beloved Fiat Panda, Grande Panda features compact dimensions and an infectious personality. It is built on the Stellantis Smart-Car Platform, a highly adaptable architecture that supports both hybrid and electric powertrains, and offers a compelling combination of eye-catching Italian design, forward-thinking engineering and sustainable mobility.
Paul Barker, editor of Auto Express, said: “The Grande Panda is everything a little car should be. It’s practical, sensible, comfortable, cheeky, fun, well-priced and proof that FIAT still knows how to make a great small car.”
Giuseppe Cava, FIAT UK’s managing director, commented: “We are delighted that Grande Panda has been recognised as ‘Supermini of the Year’ by Auto Express in its 2025 New Car Awards and ‘highly commended’ in the ‘Affordable Electric Car of the Year’ category. The awards are very well recognised and respected by car buyers.“Grande Panda is the latest icon to join the FIAT family and is compact, affordable and fun to drive. Most importantly, the arrival of Grande Panda into the UK market will make electrification available to a much wider audience and this is perfectly consistent with our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions that exceed consumer expectations."

Grande Panda is available with a fully electric powertrain that combines a 44kWh battery and an 83kW e-motor (113 HP), to deliver a WLTP range of 199 miles. Alternatively, the Hybrid version features a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine delivering 110 HP, coupled with a 48V Li-ion battery and a sophisticated eDCT 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Staying true to the practicality and functionality of the original Fiat Panda, the Grande Panda is packed with ingenious ideas, including a patented integrated spiral charging cable, exclusive to the electric model. In addition to supporting AC charging up to 7 kW, it is stored under the bonnet, freeing up boot space and making it easier to handle and keep clean in daily use.
Grande Panda offers customers an eco-friendly and ethical mobility solution thanks to the use of sustainable materials in its production. In fact, each Grande Panda contains the recycled materials from 140 beverage cartons, which are used in the vehicle’s interior, and the Grande Panda La Prima version includes “BAMBOX Bamboo Fiber Tex®” in its dashboard wrapping, a dedicated textile containing real bamboo fibres.
The fully electric Fiat Grande Panda is available in (RED) and La Prima trims, while Grande Panda Hybrid is offered as Pop, Icon or La Prima. Grande Panda will open for orders in the UK later this Summer, with on-the-road prices starting at £18,035.
