What\u2019s the most affordable EV you can buy? If rumors out of Fiat are to be believed, the answer to that question will soon be \u201cthe new Fiat Panda\u201d as Stellantis targets the bottom end of the booming<\/a> electric car market.<\/p>\n

Set to arrive as soon as this spring, the new Fiat Panda will be an EV-only offering from Stellantis\u2019 \u201centry\u201d Italian brand, and is expected to slot in below the ell-electric Fiat 500e<\/a>, price-wise, in the company\u2019s lineup. Its main objective, as the brand\u2019s President, Oliver Francois, told AutoExpress UK<\/a>, is to \u201cawaken the sleeping giant\u201d he believes Fiat to be. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly my point of view,\u201d he says, when discussing new models. \u201cWe have not even started awakening the giant.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a product, the upcoming Fiat Panda is believed to be heavily based on Fiat\u2019s 2019 concept, the award-winning Fiat Centoventi. At the time, the company said it would reduce the car\u2019s build costs by adopting a spartan design with a limited color palette that was at once \u201cminimalist and fully customizable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
