NEW Fiat Grande Panda La Prima Review | BEV Or Hybrid?

This is the new Fiat Grande Panda and it's got some big shoes to fill. Well, not literally, but it arrives on the shoulders of one of Fiat's hottest selling models. So with a starting price of £18,975 and a design inspired by the original, is this another smash hit? To thoroughly test this new Grande Panda in a manner befitting Panda usage, Sam Sheehan subjects the car to the worst of urban and suburban life, searching for potholes, speedhumps and kerbs. Its smaller sibling has long been celebrated for its ruggedness, so how does the four-metre-long Grande stack up in a world where the Renault 5 has already stolen the limelight? The Grande Panda we're driving is the electric version, which sits above the Hybrid with a starting price of £20,975. It has a claimed range of 198 miles and features a clever built-in charging cable, which pulls out of the nose and means you don't need to fumble with cables in the boot. That's a key advantage vs the Renault 5, Citroen C3 and more. There is a conventional cable in the boot, of course, and a faster charging port at the rear. But who doesn't love an integrated spaghetti charging cable? If you're wondering, it can charge at 7kW so takes 3.5 hours to fully top up the battery. You can swap to a spaghetti-free 11kW port on the nose to cut the charge time to 2.5 hours. Either way, if you use the normal port at the back, that's 100kW, so it's about 33 mins for 20-80% charge.
