If you're in the market for a car that's stylish, compact and good value, then a used Fiat Panda is a great choice. It has attractive styling, provides superior visibility and has a spacious interior for its size. Not only does the Panda come with a low entry-level price, but also the economical engines reduce the cost to run for long-term savings.
As well as the common petrol and diesel options, there was also a rare electric powertrain available with the Fiat Panda. All recent models offer a manual or an automatic transmission and front- or four-wheel drive.
PetrolThe compact Panda does not offer a huge amount of space, but for its size, there's a lot more room than it appears to have.
Interior spaceThe very first Panda arrived in 1981 to provide a way to navigate cities at a lower price. This model remained in production through to 2003 until another generation was released. Now, the Fiat Panda is in its third generation and has received a lot of upgrades. While it's still a small city car, Fiat has done a great job of maximising the space and creating options for the interior.
The Fiat Panda was released in order to provide an affordable vehicle that was also stylish and practical. Fiat decided to settle on a model with a completely flat floor that maximised interior space. Its boxy design had an asymmetrical grille that changed depending on the engine.
In 1986, the Panda received a facelift, both visually and technically. Fiat decided to upgrade the rear suspension, making the car more enjoyable to drive.
After more than two decades, a new generation of the Panda was released in 2003. Already, there had been more than four million units sold, so Fiat knew that it didn't need to make many changes. Still, some new exterior styling added a modern touch, such as the narrow two-slat grille sitting between the square headlights.
In 2006, Fiat released the special Panda 100hp, giving the lineup a hot-hatch variant. This model has more power, and also enhanced styling. The black rectangular grille may be the first component that stands out from the rest of the lineup. Finally, the suspension was stiffened up and the ground clearance was reduced for sportier handling.
Moving into a new generation, the Fiat Panda received some exterior upgrades, including updated headlights with integrated turn signal indicators. A slimmer grille was added with the Fiat logo placed right in the centre. The main cooling area on the bumper was crossed with a fatter horizontal slat and fog lamps were also available.
In the cabin, Fiat created a dashboard that was nearly vertical and provided larger dials for the instrument cluster. The company also revised some of the powertrains, ensuring that there were enough options available.

The petrol engines have been the most popular by far thanks to its already low running costs, ease of maintenance and cheaper purchase price.
The Fiat Panda can be purchased new in the following model variants: Panda, Garmin, Red and Top. Older models came in the Pop and Easy models. The Easy tends to be the most popular because it's cheap to buy and comes with a six-speaker sound system, start-stop technology and air conditioning.
To increase the safety of the Panda, we highly recommend looking for a model with parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking. There are also different wheel designs to look for, and air conditioning would be a bonus on hot days.
Even as a city car, the Fiat Panda has a surprising amount of interior space thanks to its boxy design. Children can fit in the back seats with ease, and there is room for some luggage in the boot. The Panda is a good low-cost option for families.
Fiat hasn't released full hybrid Panda yet, but there's a petrol engine option that comes with mild-hybrid technology. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder generates 69bhp and has an efficiency rating of up to 58.9mpg.
Yes, but the automatic models are difficult to find among used cars. Most of the Fiat Panda models come with a manual gearbox, which helps to keep the purchase cost to a minimum.
Yes, Fiat has offered the Panda with both a front- and four-wheel drive configuration. Both are easy to find among used models.
