The Fiat Panda Interpreted By Alessi
Published: 14th April 2004
Fiat Panda
- Flexibility and practicality
- Style and personality
- Technology and innovation
- Substance and quality
First and foremost the new model is a flexible, practical car. As its top of the category living space and ergonomics show, along with the wide range of versions to suit all needs that place it right at the top of its category. What's more, the new Panda is the first in line of a family destined to grow over time: a 4x4 and an exciting all-terrain vehicle will be the next in line.
Style and personality: with its original, dynamic design, and "smart casual" look, this model boasts a brand new concept in interiors which give substance to the impression of high quality that the model immediately conveys. An extremely appealing car, which can also be customised with the wide range of accessories on the Lineaccessori list.
Technology and innovation are the key concepts for the new Panda's third set of values. High performance engines which are decidedly frugal on fuel (among the lowest consumers in the category), representing a valid solution both for city and out of town driving. One version which stands out is the revolutionary 70 HP 1.3 16v Multijet, the height of engineering for small turbodiesels. These engines are teamed with innovative, reliable gearboxes like the Dualogic (available only with the 1.2 petrol engine). Moreover, the new city car from Fiat is the safest in the entire category, thanks to its numerous highly sophisticated active and passive safety features and systems. Not to mention the car's sheer driving and riding pleasure, thanks above all to the automatic climate control system and Skydome sun roof.
And lastly, the new Panda is a car of substance and quality. It is the result of a "robust" design project to which the company has devoted its top resources and most sophisticated technologies. The result is a high quality, eminently reliable car, which boasts exclusive safety and comfort features. The torsional rigidity of the body, for instance, is among the best in the category (70,500 Nm/rad), while the new Panda is also the only car in its category to upholster 99% of its interior surfaces. And this is not all. The new city car has also passed the strictest tests to guarantee the highest level of protection for driver and passengers.
