2020 Fiat Panda: pricing, engines, and trim levels

Fiat has revised the trim structure for the Panda line-up, which now comprises three distinct versions called Life, Sport and Cross.

Every front-wheel drive version of the Panda in Life, City Life, Sport and City Cross trims are powered by the firm’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which features mild-hybrid assistance, producing a total power output of 69bhp. 

The entry-level Panda Life is priced from £11,895, and features 14-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, a DAB radio, and a stereo with USB and MP3 playback capability. 

Upgrading to the £12,595 Panda City Life spec adds 15-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, a revised front bumper design and new side skirts. Interior upgrades include a leather-trimmed steering wheel, Fiat’s Uconnect infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a two-tone grey trimmed upholstery.

Two 4x4 versions of the Panda are offered, and both are powered by Fiat’s turbocharged 0.9-litre two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine, which produces 83bhp. The Wild 4x4 starts from £16,295 and shares the same exterior and interior features as the City Life model. It also gets a locking differential for off-roading, along with rugged-looking front and rear skid plates.
