Fiat Panda prices and specs

Fiat’s efforts to soften the previous Panda’s design are typified by the headlights

Fiat has set the rear light clusters higher in an attempt to reduce the possibility of them being damaged in scrapes

Side mouldings offer a slightly chunkier look, but are an option. Otherwise, there’s a body-coloured depression where they’d be

The exterior does not escape the square design theme. The small rear windows have been restyled to chime with the interior

Tick the satellite navigation option box and the Panda gets a TomTom portable device

Invest in Fiat’s Blue&Me infotainment system, and the car will allow phones and MP3 players to connect via Bluetooth
