Designed in Turin, the Grande Panda draws inspiration from the iconic 1980s Panda while incorporating modern technological advancements.

The maximum speed of the electric model is 132 km/h, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds.
The model is equipped with an innovative built-in retractable cable for AC charging at the front, allowing the battery to be recharged from 20 to 80 percent in just over four hours. Alternatively, customers can choose a rear charging port with 11 kW power, enabling the same charge in two hours and 50 minutes. A DC fast-charging port with 100 kW power is also included as standard, enabling a 20 to 80 percent charge in just 27 minutes.
The Grande Panda will be available in dealerships across Europe starting in March 2025. A particular focus has been placed on affordability, one of the brand’s key values, allowing customers to participate in the electric transition at an accessible price.
