Fiat has recently unveiled the exterior of its retro-styled Grande Panda SUV. While the brand has not yet officially revealed the interior, leaked images provide a clear glimpse of the cabin's design and features.

Interior Design: What the Images Reveal

The Grande Panda maintains a five-seat configuration, similar to its predecessors.
Despite being based on the Citroen C3, the Grande Panda features a distinct and unique interior design.
The positioning of the AC vents, infotainment screen, and instrument cluster are similar to the C3, but the overall look is more premium and tailored to the SUV's funky exterior.

Circular Styling

Rounded surfaces smooth out angular edges, especially around the instrument cluster, infotainment screen, AC vents, and other panels.
A contrasting color palette of light and dark shades aims to appeal to younger audiences.
The Fiat logo is prominently displayed on the steering wheel.

Center Console and Dashboard

The center console follows the rounded design theme with a piano black plastic finish and contrasting border.
The lower part of the dashboard resembles the C3, and the switchgear is expected to be shared between the models.

Platform and Powertrain

CMP Platform:

The Grande Panda is built on Stellantis' Common Modular Platform (CMP), also used in the Citroen C3, Opel Frontera, and other upcoming models from Stellantis brands.
The CMP platform supports both internal combustion engines and electric vehicle derivatives, depending on market demand.

Powertrain Options:

The Grande Panda will offer multiple powertrain options, including the international-spec C3’s electric systems with 200km and 327km ranges.
A mild-hybrid 100hp, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine will also be available.
