SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – The Fiat Grande Panda has been named the ‘Best Small Car’ at the prestigious 2025 Autocar Awards, celebrating the model’s fresh take on compact mobility and its homage to the beloved Panda heritage.

Praised by the UK’s oldest car magazine for its design flair, affordability, and everyday practicality, the Grande Panda stood out in a competitive category. This recognition marks a significant achievement for FIAT’s latest offering, blending Italian charm with cutting-edge technology in an accessible package.

Celebrating Modern Innovation with a Classic Spirit

Built on the highly flexible Stellantis Smart-Car Platform, the Fiat Grande Panda seamlessly supports both electric and hybrid drivetrains. Its design philosophy pays tribute to the iconic 1980s Panda, with modern features that aim to make city driving easier and greener.

Mark Tisshaw, editor of Autocar, shared high praise: “The Grande Panda is what happens when a car maker pays attention to and respects not only its heritage but also out-of-the-box thinking to give its new model some genuine appeal among both loyal and first-time buyers. From the ‘Panda’ indents stamped into the body to the infotainment bezel shaped like FIAT’s old test track atop its Lingotto factory, the car represents a creative, refreshingly cheery attitude to design.”

Two Powertrains, One Purpose: Sustainable Urban Driving

Fiat offers the Grande Panda in two eco-conscious variants:

• Fully Electric: Includes a 44kWh battery and 83kW (113 HP) e-motor, offering up to 320 km WLTP range.
• Hybrid: Combines a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with 110 HP, a 48V Li-ion battery, and a 6-speed eDCT dual-clutch automatic transmission.

These options give drivers the flexibility to choose what suits their lifestyle and driving habits best, without compromising on efficiency or driving pleasure.

Packed with Clever Details for Everyday Use

Beyond its performance, the Grande Panda offers a number of features designed to make daily life easier:

• Exclusive spiral charging cable stored under the hood (electric version), freeing up trunk space
• AC charging capability up to 7 kW
• Use of recycled and sustainable interior materials, including components made from 140 beverage cartons
• Optional dashboard wrap using BAMBOX Bamboo Fiber Tex® for a natural, textured finish

Trim Options for Every Style

The Fiat Grande Panda Electric is available in (RED) and La Prima trims, while the Hybrid version comes in Pop, Icon, and La Prima editions—offering a tailored option for every taste and budget.

An Award-Winning Choice for the Future

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – September 23, 2025 – François Leboine, Head of Design at FIAT, has been honored with the title of 2025 ‘Design Hero’ at the prestigious Autocar Awards, held in recognition of his visionary work on the newly launched Grande Panda — a stylish, affordable model that's redefining expectations in the small car segment.

The French-born designer’s contribution went beyond just aesthetics; his innovative vision helped the Grande Panda also secure the title of ‘Best Small Car’, underscoring the car’s powerful consumer appeal and industry impact.

A bold new standard for affordable car design

The Grande Panda’s recognition is more than a product win — it’s a cultural shift in how affordable vehicles are perceived. Autocar’s Editor, Mark Tisshaw, highlighted the magnitude of this achievement, stating:
“It’s vanishingly rare that a new car is so well received it actually shifts perceptions of the company that created it even before anyone has sat behind the wheel. That’s the sort of instant impact of which car designers dream, but precious few will ever achieve.”

He added:
“In his current role as Fiat’s design chief, François Leboine has led the creation of the new Grande Panda, which combines knowing nods to the 1980s Panda with a fresh design infused with intricate details. It creates new possibilities for a firm, while proving affordable cars can still be stunningly stylish.”

Leading with vision and heart

For Leboine, the award is a testament to the talent and courage of the entire FIAT design team. Reflecting on the recognition, he shared:
“I’m really proud to receive this award on behalf of myself and all my colleagues. We have created a team with a lot of energy and the courage to do things they’ve never done before. I had a clear idea of what I wanted, and they did it fast and with professionalism.”

He continued:
“With the Grande Panda, we have created an icon. The most important thing when I arrived here at FIAT was to bring something affordable, that is smart in the way we built it and which was even more accessible, which is difficult for an electric car but something we achieved with the Grande Panda.”

A designer shaping the future of FIAT

Leboine joined FIAT four years ago and is currently based at the brand’s Centro Stile design headquarters in Turin, Italy. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, his career has been shaped by a deep passion for design that is both emotionally engaging and practically innovative.

Under his leadership, the Grande Panda has become a new symbol for the brand — accessible, intelligent, and unapologetically stylish. For consumers, that means a small car that doesn’t compromise on visual appeal or forward-thinking features, all at a price point that brings electric driving within reach.

With this double win — ‘Design Hero’ and ‘Best Small Car’ — the Grande Panda is already making waves. Its mix of retro influence and modern flair promises to make it a favorite for drivers who want beauty, efficiency, and affordability all in one.
