Although the new year has not yet arrived, there is already no shortage of announcements. For FIAT, the start of 2026 will bring updates to the Panda family, comprising the Panda - an A-segment model now called Pandina - and the B-segment Grande Panda.

FIAT Pandina and Grande Panda updates

The revisions are not extensive, but they introduce several distinctive details. The FIAT Pandina now features this name on its third side window. On the range-topping Cross version, the logo also appears on the front and rear seats, as well as on the side mouldings.

The 2026 FIAT Grande Panda, meanwhile, gains a more practical feature: an integrated coiled charging cable. Compatible with alternating current charging of up to 7 kW, it can be stored in a compartment beneath the bonnet.

The FIAT Pandina line-up remains split between two trims: the entry-level ICON and the range-topping CROSS. The Grande Panda continues with three equipment grades - POP, ICON and LA PRIMA - all available with every powertrain.

To mark four years of partnership with (RED), every red FIAT will now carry (RED) badges on its B-pillars. Rather than being a separate version within each model range, (RED) will therefore become a feature of all red cars.

Same powertrains

There are no mechanical changes. The FIAT Pandina retains its 70 hp, 92 Nm mild-hybrid engine. The Grande Panda continues to offer three choices. Its combustion-engine range includes a 100 hp petrol unit, alongside a 110 hp mild-hybrid alternative. There is also a fully electric version, producing 113 hp and offering 320 km of range.

When will the Panda models arrive?

The first deliveries are scheduled for January 2026. Prices will start at 17 990 € for the FIAT Pandina and 17 850 € for the petrol Grande Panda.
