Fiat is celebrating its 125th anniversary with the unveiling of the new 500e Giorgio Armani and the release of additional details about the Grande Panda. The Grande Panda is the first member of their “new global family” and is currently being evaluated for the North American market.

Focusing on the electric variant of the Grande Panda, it will feature a 44 kWh battery pack powering a 111 hp (83 kW / 113 PS) electric motor. This setup is expected to provide a WLTP combined range of over 199 miles (320 km), with pricing starting at less than €25,000.

Fiat also reiterated plans for a hybrid variant but did not provide extensive details. The hybrid is expected to have a 100 hp (75 kW / 102 PS) three-cylinder engine, a 48V lithium-ion battery pack, and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with an integrated 28 hp (21 kW / 28 PS) electric motor.

Interior pictures of the Grande Panda reveal a colorful cabin with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment system. Additional features include a two-spoke steering wheel, a minimalist shifter, and a dash-mounted “Bambox.” The stylish two-tone seats with yellow contrast stitching are marked with “Panda Made With Love In Fiat,” and the door panels also feature Fiat lettering. The trunk offers 12.7 cubic feet (361 liters) of luggage space.

Alongside the Grande Panda, Fiat introduced the 500e Giorgio Armani. This special edition, described as the “ultimate expression of Made in Italy,” boasts a unique Dark Green Micinalised or Ceramic Greige exterior with distinctive “GA” wheels. The interior features special seats and laser-cut wood trim.

The 500e Giorgio Armani will come equipped with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, a glass roof, and a JBL premium audio system. This special edition will be available in Africa, Europe, North America, Australia, Japan, and the Middle East, with a WLTP combined range of up to 199 miles (320 km) when it launches next year.
