The original Fiat Panda 4\u00d74 was an 80s icon and early entry into the compact SUV movement. Today, the funky electric Panda Grande is still carrying that torch<\/a>, but it\u2019s clear that someone at Fiat wants to lean into the off-road segment just a bit<\/em> harder \u2013\u00a0and that\u2019s what this new Grande Panda 4\u00d74 Manifesto is all about.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First shown during the Grande Panda Hybrid media drive, Fiat is calling the new 4\u00d74 Grande Panda Manifesto concept \u201cthe direct heir of the Panda 4\u00d74,\u201d and hopes it can act as a reminder of the 1983 original\u2019s efficient, off-road legacy.<\/p>\n

The Grande Panda that debuted last year is available with either a 108 hp 1.2 liter gas engine or a 111 hp electric motor powering the front wheels. The 4\u00d74 concept starts with that electric motor up front, but adds an \u201cinnovative\u201d e-axle at the rear of the tiny<\/s> grande crossover, fully delivering on the \u201c4\u00d74\u201d promise of a powered rear axle despite the lack of a conventional\/traditional driveshaft or transfer case.<\/p>\n

For their part, Fiat\u2019s people seem pretty proud of the new setup:<\/p>\n

From a technical standpoint, the Grande Panda 4\u00d74 concept is thought with an electrified innovative rear axle. This feature would enable the vehicle to deliver impressive performance in urban settings and on more demanding terrain. It\u2019s a deliberate choice that underscores FIAT\u2019s ongoing commitment to embracing increasingly sustainable and forward-looking technologies, all while preserving the adventurous spirit and everyday practicality that have always defined the Panda 4\u00d74.<\/p>\n

A lifted stance, more aggressive A\/T tires, front-mounted accessory lights, steelie wheels, and the seemingly mandatory \u201coverlander<\/a>\u201d roof rack make up the rest of the modifications. No word yet on the Manifesto\u2019s performance or specs, but I imagine something not too far removed from the new Jeep Compass\u2019 specs makes sense<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And I promise: Fiat really, really wants to build this thing. Watch this space for more announcements, specs, and (eventually) pricing information.<\/p>\n

As my aunt Mary would say, Stellantis needs to get down from that cloud and realize that Jeep is not, should, and will not ever be the high-end luxury brand it hopes it will be<\/a>. Once it does, it can slap a seven-slot grille on this Grande Panda 4\u00d74 Manifesto concept, throw in some removable doors and a folding canvas moonroof, re-brand it as a modern Willys for about $30K, and watch the money roll in.<\/p>\n

Fight me.<\/p>\n
