With the hybrid version of the new 500 confirmed for this year, we’d expect to see the new baby Panda some time in late 2026 or early 2027, after the bigger version of the Grande Panda is unveiled.
Technical changes to the new Fiat 500, currently only available as an electric model and built at Fiat’s famous Mirafiori factory in Turin, will make it possible to bring a new baby Panda to life using the same technology.
Fiat’s new Panda family is set to grow both bigger and smaller following the arrival of the new Fiat Grande Panda.
That will change with a new baby Panda, which is expected to share the Fiat 500’s platform, as well as its electric or new hybrid powertrains.
Speaking at the launch of the Grande Panda in Italy, Francois confirmed that the new all-electric Fiat 500 is being re-engineered to accept a petrol hybrid drivetrain.
