FIAT telah memperkenalkan konsep Grande Panda 4×4, sebuah interpretasi semula yang moden bagi salah satu model ikoniknya, Panda 4×4, yang mula mencipta nama pada era 1980-an. Model konsep ini bukan sahaja mengangkat semula warisan legenda Panda, malah turut mencerminkan komitmen jenama Itali itu terhadap masa depan mobiliti mampan.

Pertama kali dilancarkan pada tahun 1983, Panda 4×4 memperoleh reputasi luar biasa sebagai kenderaan lasak bersaiz kompak yang menawan hati pemilik di kawasan bandar mahupun luar bandar. Dengan reka bentuk sederhana tetapi pintar, model itu dikenali kerana keupayaan luar jalannya yang mengagumkan, pengendalian praktikal, dan daya tarikan yang rendah hati namun berkesan — menjadikannya sebagai ikon yang membina pengikut setia selama beberapa dekad.

Kini, menerusi Grande Panda 4×4, FIAT menzahirkan penghormatan terhadap DNA asal Panda, sambil memperkenalkannya semula dengan pendekatan baharu berasaskan teknologi moden dan prinsip kelestarian. Model konsep ini membuktikan bagaimana jenama tersebut terus menyesuaikan diri dengan era baharu tanpa mengabaikan nilai-nilai teras yang telah mendefinisikan legasi Panda.

Salah satu ciri utama dalam Grande Panda 4×4 ialah gandar belakang elektrik, inovasi terkini yang memberikan kelebihan pengendalian di bandar serta keupayaan merentas medan sukar. Penggunaan teknologi ini selari dengan strategi jangka panjang FIAT untuk menggabungkan kecekapan tenaga dengan prestasi dan kebolehgunaan sebenar — menjadikan ia kenderaan yang serba boleh dalam pelbagai keadaan pemanduan.

FIAT has lifted the curtain on the Grande Panda 4×4 concept, a modern reimagining of one of its most celebrated icons. The Italian automaker’s latest creation pays tribute to the heritage of the original Panda 4×4 while positioning itself as a beacon of sustainable mobility for the future.

First introduced in 1983, the Panda 4×4 became an instant favourite thanks to its unique blend of rugged functionality and everyday usability. Compact and unassuming in design, the original model defied expectations with its off-road capabilities and clever use of space, making it a fixture in both urban environments and mountainous terrains. Over the years, it developed a cult following, not only for its practical appeal but also for its reliable performance and unpretentious charm.

With the unveiling of the Grande Panda 4×4 concept, FIAT signals a renewed commitment to that legacy. The concept car builds on the DNA of the original, infusing it with a contemporary edge through advanced technology and a vision aligned with sustainable mobility. This new chapter reflects the brand’s pursuit of innovation while preserving the essence of what made the Panda 4×4 a beloved nameplate worldwide.

At the heart of the Grande Panda 4×4 project lies an electrified rear axle, an innovation designed to enhance both urban manoeuvrability and off-road prowess. The inclusion of this technology underscores FIAT’s broader strategy of integrating environmentally conscious solutions without compromising performance or versatility. The vehicle is expected to offer a seamless driving experience across a range of conditions, combining modern efficiency with the robust character of its predecessor.

Fiat bakal menghidupkan semula model ikoniknya, Fiat 500, dalam versi enjin pembakaran dalaman, kali ini dilengkapi sistem hibrid ringan serta transmisi manual enam kelajuan. Usaha ini menandakan satu langkah strategik dalam usaha jenama Itali tersebut untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan kehendak pasaran yang masih mahukan kenderaan mampu milik, cekap dan menarik — tanpa perlu bergantung sepenuhnya kepada elektrifikasi.

Imej acah yang disiarkan baru-baru ini menunjukkan rekaan dalaman bertema retro, lengkap dengan tuil gear konvensional, menonjolkan keunikan klasik yang sinonim dengan Fiat 500 sejak sekian lama. Model baharu ini dijangka membawa kembali daya tarikan model asal sambil menawarkan kecekapan bahan api yang lebih baik menerusi gabungan enjin pembakaran dalaman dan sistem hibrid ringan.

Fiat 500 Hibrid dijana oleh enjin tiga silinder 1.0 liter bersama sistem hibrid sederhana, yang secara keseluruhan menghasilkan kira-kira 69 kuasa kuda. Walaupun angka prestasi ini sederhana, penekanan utama model ini terletak pada kebolehcapaian dan kepraktisan untuk pemanduan bandar, berbeza dengan Fiat 500e elektrik sepenuhnya yang lebih premium tetapi kurang mendapat sambutan dalam pasaran Eropah.

Fiat is preparing to reintroduce a petrol-powered version of its iconic city car, the 500, this time blending a mild-hybrid powertrain with a six-speed manual gearbox. Recently released teaser images reveal a traditional gear shifter positioned in the familiar retro-themed interior, marking a return to basics that Fiat hopes will resonate with buyers seeking charm, efficiency, and affordability over outright performance.

The upcoming 500 Hybrid will be powered by a modest 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine, paired with mild-hybrid technology, delivering approximately 69hp. While modest in output, the emphasis of this model lies not in speed but in its accessible nature—a clear shift from the more premium electric 500e, which has struggled to capture a significant share of the European market.

This new version of the 500 has a somewhat unconventional origin. Fiat originally engineered the latest 500 platform exclusively for electric power, creating the 500e with the aim of embracing the EV transition. However, with lukewarm reception and slow sales of the all-electric model, exacerbated by frequent pauses in production, the brand found itself needing to pivot.

Stellantis kini berada dalam situasi mencabar selepas pengunduran mendadak Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Carlos Tavares. Namun begitu, syarikat ini telah memberikan jaminan bahawa Fiat 500 baharu akan diperkenalkan pada tahun 2032. Walaupun model elektrik semasa, Fiat 500e, menghadapi jualan yang perlahan sehingga menghentikan pengeluarannya buat sementara waktu, Stellantis komited untuk mengekalkan Fiat 500 sebagai model utama mereka.

Komitmen kepada Turin dan Masa Depan Hibrid Fiat 500

Fiat 500 akan terus dihasilkan di kilang Mirafiori di Turin, Itali, sekurang-kurangnya sehingga 2030. Jean-Philippe Imparato, Ketua Stellantis Eropah, menegaskan pentingnya kilang ini dalam strategi syarikat. Sebagai langkah seterusnya, Stellantis akan melancarkan Fiat 500 Ibrida, sebuah model hibrid baharu, pada November 2025, memberikan pembeli alternatif kepada model elektrik sepenuhnya.

Stellantis is going through a tough time after CEO Carlos Tavares suddenly stepped down. Despite this, the company has confirmed that a new Fiat 500 will arrive in 2032. However, the current electric Fiat 500e sales have been slow, leading to production pauses.

Keeping the Fiat 500 in Turin

The Fiat 500, a popular city car in Europe, will continue to be made at the Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy, beyond 2030. Stellantis’ European Chief, Jean-Philippe Imparato, says this decision ensures the plant stays busy and important to the company. In November 2025, a new hybrid version of the Fiat 500, called the Fiat 500 Ibrida, will be introduced to give buyers more choices.

Abarth, terkenal dengan kenderaan prestasi tinggi, telah memperkenalkan versi dipertingkatkan daripada Fiat 600e elektrik, memaparkan peningkatan kuasa yang ketara dan estetik yang lebih agresif.

Ditampilkan dalam penampilannya yang menarik sebagai edisi pelancaran Scorpionissima, Fiat 600e yang mengagumkan telah menarik perhatian selepas dikesan semasa sesi penggambaran komersial, dengan hanya 1949 unit yang dijadualkan untuk pengeluaran.

Walaupun butiran teknikal seperti konfigurasi pemanduan dan spesifikasi bateri masih dirahsiakan, Fiat 600e elektrik berjanji untuk memberikan keseronokan dengan differential terhad mekanikal dan output kuasa yang menakjubkan sebanyak 240hp.

Peningkatan kuasa ini menetapkan 600e sebagai Abarth yang paling berkuasa yang pernah dicipta, mempunyai peningkatan 84hp yang hebat berbanding rakan sejawatannya dari Fiat.

Sementara mengekalkan potensi untuk prestasi elektrik yang memukau, 600e mungkin mewarisi baterinya dari kereta asal Fiat, dilengkapi dengan unit ion litium kobalt mangan nikel 54 kWh. Namun, disebabkan motor yang mengeluarkan lebih banyak kuasa, pengurangan sedikit dalam julat dijangka berbanding dengan julat 400km Fiat 600e pada kitaran WLTP.

Abarth, renowned for its high-performance vehicles, has unleashed a tuned-up version of the electric Fiat 600e, showcasing a significant boost in power and a more aggressive aesthetic.

Displayed in its striking Scorpionissima launch edition guise, the electrifying Fiat 600e has captured attention after being spotted during a commercial shoot, with just 1949 units slated for production.

Although technical details such as drive configuration and battery specifications remain under wraps, the electric 600e promises to deliver thrills with a mechanical limited-slip differential and an impressive power output of 240hp.

This power surge establishes the 600e as the most potent Abarth ever crafted, boasting a formidable 84hp increase over its Fiat counterpart.

Fiat 600e

While maintaining the potential for electrifying performance, the 600e may inherit its battery from the Fiat donor car, equipped with a 54kWh nickel manganese cobalt lithium-ion unit. However, due to the higher-output motors, a slight reduction in range is anticipated compared to the Fiat 600e’s 400km range on the WLTP cycle.

The new Fiat will also be closely related to the brand-sister Jeep Avenger from the Stellantis Group.

Shopping online is commonplace these days and during the lockdown periods of the past two years, many companies stepped up their online business activities as their physical retail outlets were forced to close. While there was already a trend starting towards increased online stores selling by car companies, the pandemic accelerated things in order for brands to remain accessible to customers.

Today, virtually every brand has an online showroom which mainly provides information on the latest models and if a customer is ready to make a purchase, the process can be started online as well. However, in some countries, physical presence is still required to complete the transaction as documents need to be officially signed.

Now Fiat has come out with what it says is the world’s first metaverse-powered store, taking the digital experience to a more advanced level. Starting off in Italy, the Fiat Metaverse Store provides a more sophisticated ‘shopping experience’ and there’s a real FIAT expert – called a FIAT Product Genius – on hand to answer questions.
