Fiat reveals the price of the Grande Panda, replacement for the Uno, with prices that are frightening. Find out all the details and find out if Big Panda has what it takes to be successful in Brazil!

Get ready for a revolution in the Brazilian automobile market. A Fiat announced this Friday (12) the price of Grande Panda, the long-awaited replacement for the iconic Uno. At an event marking the 125th anniversary of the Italian brand, CEO Oliver François revealed details that left Brazilians speechless.

Disappointing price, but with promises of accessibility

During the event, François highlighted that the electric version of the Grande Panda will be sold for less than €25.000, or around R$159.600. This news was not well received in Brazil, where the Grande Panda will face strong competition with models like the BYD Dolphin.

The electric version of the Grande Panda, with 113 horsepower and a 44 kWh battery, is far from being the most economical option, as highlighted by François. However, Fiat promises more affordable options.

The entry-level version, with a battery of approximately 30 kWh, should cost less than €20.000 (R$118.200), becoming an interesting alternative in the Brazilian market. This model, with around 70 horsepower, will compete directly with the BYD Dolphin Mini.

Accessibility is the keyword for the automaker

“Accessibility is never optional in a Fiat,” stated François, indicating that the combustion and hybrid versions of the Grande Panda will have significantly lower prices. These versions aim to maintain Fiat's legacy of offering economical and accessible vehicles.

A new Fiat family approaches

Big Panda won't come alone. It will be accompanied by three new models: a seven-seater SUV, a fastback and a pickup truck. This new family of Fiat vehicles reflects current market trends, offering a variety of options for different consumer profiles.

The new SUVs will follow the New C3 strategy in Brazil, offering a family model and a coupe. The pickup truck, an unprecedented model in both the Brazilian and international markets, promises to surprise. With a similar size to the Montana, Oroch and the future VW pickup, this new addition will be a milestone in the hybridization of the automotive market in Brazil.

Great Panda: the rebirth of the One and the Palio in a new context

The Grande Panda represents an evolution of the classic Uno and Palio, adapted to the needs and expectations of modern consumers. Instead of an Elba/Weekend, we now have an SUV, and instead of a Premium/Siena, a crossover-coupe. The pickup, in turn, replaces the Fiorino/Strada with a new model with a larger cabin and size.

According to Fiat, this new family of vehicles is crucial to the company's hybridization strategy in Brazil, aligning with the demands for more sustainable and efficient vehicles.

Is the Big Panda ready to conquer Brazilians?

With prices still high for the Brazilian market, the Grande Panda brings promises of accessibility and a new line of vehicles that follow global trends. The question is: will Brazilians embrace this new chapter for Fiat?

Fiat makes good vehicles, but this Panda is coming with a hefty price tag.

You're going to convert the Brazilian's salary into euros too. Brazilians are the dumbest animals I've ever seen. 25.000 here is almost 160.000, that is, more than 6 times more than there.
