Renault and Fiat have realised that the best way they can compete with the Chinese is on styling. And I think it's working

I had the original Panda, it was a brilliant little car: very essential, great flexibility, we did sleep in it (2 adults) and my dog loved it. I hated with a passion how they had remodelled it, making it a "normal" car. This is brilliant, it's a jewel of design, it's making older people admire how a wink to the past is translated into a modern desirable supermini.

@@colinfoster7149 well, the rear bench was a hammock that could be set to carry a baby or a puppy. But when used as a seat, you would « know » if you had put anything hard in the boot. I moved to Ireland with it (solo) and brought with me a « personal » washing machine, my stereo (amp, cd, tuner, tape separates + speakers), and all my belongings.

Much bigger beast though (the mk2 was 3.5m long, and God did that help parking in spaces other cars couldn't get into). Incidentally, the original mk2 was officially the slowest car for sale in its time, 54 bhp LOL

This is exactly the sort of EV the market now needs. It's taken a while to get near the £20k barrier, but we're now seeing a few EV's at that price point. Plus it isn't perhaps the list price that matters so much, as the potential to lease cars like this for £150 per Month or less....and once the lease is up at 3 years old, it'll be available at sensible prices, which will help EV adoption no end.

I'd still prefer the 500e, even though it's less practical. The 500e is a real Fiat product, not a derivative of a Citroën. The 500 also doesn't need to yell '500' or 'Fiat' on the sides; it doesn't need it, everyone sees what it is. It also has full one pedal driving, which Stellantis still hasn't figured out.

Fun review. I think you nailed it by pointing out that a cheap, slow, ordinary £21k EV car can be stylish. For instance I can not think of anything at the very lowest end of the VW range that has this much in the way of style, and as Nicola points out Ford need to watch out. Ford used to be good at this too. Stellantis are being clever in offering the same or a similar platform with so many different skins and purposes. To take a near neighbour at a different price point you have the Alfa Romeo Junior, even without the Veloce version.

Steel wheels are always best for an everyday car, easy to clean and stronger for potholes, Shame that FIAT has become a Vauxhall in so many ways. Good to see a review that doesnt go on about speed and handling all the time, as no one drives fast and swooping any more, it is impossible in the UK anyway, for more than a few minutes. Range and practicality is the way forward. Good to have the beeps, you would be surprised at how many times the limit changes in the average journey these days.

Electrical egineer here: 7kW cable is probably 3x6mm², which total of 18mm² of copper. What they could have done, is use custom cable, 2x4mm² (for 7kW single phase), 2x2.5mm² (for 3 phase 11kW) and 2.5mm² for ground. This is 15.5mm² of copper (which is thinner cable with less copper) and cable could conduct more power. Even if they used 3x4mm² (like Tesla UMC) for 7kW only, this would make the cable just slightly thicker.

No. Clearly overkill with all these logo Easter 🐣 ‘s. And those square ventilation, so in your face and matching. Then the square lights all around. That’s just Hyundai! On the other hand the steely wheels look indeed better than the just ugly alloys. I would go for these steel rims or have search for similar looking alloys. The old Ronal A1 Phone dial rims would look great on this car. But hey! You still have to live with the ugly vents and the non matching piano black mid console.

I hear quite often on these reviews there are not enough affordable EV cars. Then the review on this mentions a few times how slow it is. Does it really matter for a little affordable car that would be great for just getting from A to B in the city or in town?

When do we get right hand drive uk spec? All these reviews are of cars that are some time off. I've not seen an EC3, Renault 5 electric or Frontera yet. All we have sub £25 is the Dacia Spring.

I’m still driving mine … in Italy where rust is less of a problem but there are thousands still going …. Everyone loves them and they can go anywhere - because they are small ! Car designers take note - we want small thin cars for Italian towns - cars have become ridiculously huge

The delay after pressing the throttle is a deal killer. Instantaneous acceleration is one of the main features of an EV. The beep when the limit changes is evil too.

I have to say that THIS Panda is quite attractive "to me" I really like it. I also really like the R4 & R5 which I feel Fiat nailed very very well. I'm also very happy that they are sticking to "Normal & Reasonable" but not trying to "be a supercar". If these were available in Canada thiey'd absolutely be on my Short List (regardless of terribly minimal EV models avail here). Sadly we will NEVER see them as Stallantis has Zero Interest in North America for which I can't blame them one bit. The RAMS & Jeeps they put out now are serious crap with horrid reviews & ratings and mechanical nightmares to boot - Everything formerly "MOPAR" is now well tainted. They would actual;ly have to bring in FIAT, Citoen and those badges but the Yanks "will not have it for any reason" and Canada being "the good puppy" (maybe not anymore after tomorrow) forget it here... Funny thing though, Quebec being Seriously French & influenced accordingly are not as "Retentive & Butt Piuckered" towards Euro-Badges like everyone else.

Had a panda as a family car, took it on long distance trips and loved it. It was cheap, fun and it got you there. Will this be cheap too? Because otherwise I see nothing that would make it a „gamechanger“ 😂

Note that you shouldn't expect to get regenerative braking if the battery is near full charge - one of those inevitable characteristics of any EV.

It looks super cool, but the deal breaker for me is lack of one pedal driving. Nissan had this in 2017, it should be standard issue on all new EVs by now. Also a one second delay throttle response on an already slow car has removed what makes driving electric fun. It’ll just be software mapping to give it an extra 3 miles per charge if the power isn’t instant. Unforgivable. However, Nicol is always such a ray of sunshine when reviewing cars; it’s hard to stay annoyed for too long. Pandastic! 😂😂😂

Looks over-engineered in appearance and under-engineered in performance (acceleration, range, charging speed, handling). I guess that there's an audience for this kind of a car, but I'm sure that this Panda will be in a completely different price class than the original

It has been such a long wait for this Panda, and by the looks of it, it was worth the wait, I just love it! Looking forward to testing one, and hopefully purchasing- I agree on the Steelies - they look so more suited to this type of car. I wonder if I can get one in Luna Bronze with steel wheels? (the electric one)

Nicola - tipsy, or otherwise, your reviews are always entertaining! FIAT always made quirky small cars… but the Stellantis behemoth is in danger of ruining most, if not all, of its brands. 🙄 Like you, I think this new Panda is fun… but the electric model is too compromised - so the hybrid has to be the better option. Keep making watchable content. 👍🏼

"A total gamechanger". Really?? I watched the whole video of this 'Vauxhall Frontera' with different design tweaks. I can't fault the presentation, or the enthusiasm for the product, but anyone with a garden hose will know that that cable will not wind back into its holder after a few weeks. Other than that, neither the battery power, nor range, is game-changing, neither is the price, speed, handling nor practicality (not even door mirrors). So please let us know what is "a total gamechanger". Click bait!
