Fiat launches Grande Panda Hybrid and previews next‑gen Argo based on the model

Fiat unveiled the Grande Panda La Prima Hybrid, a compact city car equipped with a 110 hp hybrid powertrain and a design that mixes modern styling with nostalgic branding cues. Reviewers note the vehicle’s modest dimensions, digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity and a plastic‑laden interior, while critiquing the overall interior quality.

Fiat also revealed plans for a second‑generation Argo, slated for the Brazilian market and likely to appear in Argentina. The new hatchback will retain the Grande Panda’s silhouette but adopt region‑specific front‑grille styling, LED lighting, a larger wheelbase and expanded cargo capacity. Power‑train options include a 1.0‑litre NA Firefly engine, a 1.3‑litre version for the local market and a turbocharged 1.0‑litre unit paired with a mild‑hybrid 12 V system. Safety features will expand to six airbags and a suite of driver‑assist technologies.
