Inside, the instrument panel gets fresh graphics while there's also a new selection of upholstery colours.
Mechanically, improvements are limited to the 1.2 litre petrol engine that now has 69bhp, up from 60bhp and now emits 113g/km CO2, down from 133g/km (eco model emits 119g/km). This same engine is found in the Fiat 500 and Ford KA city-cars. The Panda 4x4 should also have lower CO2 emissions, compared to the 155g/km from the current model. In Europe, Panda buyers have a wide choice of petrol, diesel, natural gas and LPG engines with outputs ranging from 54bhp to 100bhp. Both manual and Dualogic semi-automatic transmissions will also be available. The UK will only get the 2 former engines.
The Panda was launched in September 2003. In the 6 years it has been in production, Fiat has sold more than 1.5 million units of the city-car.
