Fiat Panda

The 2021 Fiat Panda 1.0 Hybrid is a compact and practical city car designed to make everyday driving simple and economical. Its upright body provides surprisingly good interior space and visibility for such a small vehicle, while its compact dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre and park in busy urban areas.

It is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine assisted by a mild-hybrid system, producing a combined output of 70 hp. Paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, it offers modest performance but good fuel efficiency, especially in town, where the electrical assistance and stop-start system help reduce consumption and emissions.

On the road, the Panda prioritises comfort, simplicity and low running costs rather than speed or refinement. Its cabin uses basic materials, but the controls are straightforward and the flexible interior makes it a sensible choice for daily commuting, short journeys and drivers seeking an affordable hybrid city car.
