Everything is easier with the Panda: getting about, parking, finding the right space for every
single thing and having a good time with friends. That is because it is the end result of smart solutions and innovative ideas
thought up and developed for those looking for an agile, manoeuvrable and really big city car.
In terms of looks, the Panda has been elegantly restyled on the outside with soft, rounded lines on
a regular, very effective volume for exploiting space. The “squircle” is the new identifying symbol of the Panda.
This geometric figure evokes the union between the square (synonymous with efficiency and sturdiness) and the circle (representing
pleasantness and flexibility).
Exteriors:
Its front has a strong personality, featuring the slightly
convex bonnet that joins perfectly with the elegant horizontal grille and the new front headlamps with a rounded shape, underlined
by a separate supplementary element with Daytime Running Lights function.
Several distinguishing
features of the second generation of the Panda have been redesigned, such as the vertical rear light clusters and third window,
now with softened angles that creates the effect of an uninterrupted glazed surface. Smooth, rounded shapes are also found
in the strips applied to the bumpers and side panels, which accentuate the all-terrain look of the model.
Finally, the lower section of the tailgate protrudes with respect to the rear window. Combined with
the side line, this gives a distinct impression of a roof panel resting on the bodywork.
Interiors:
The roomy and comfortable passenger compartment of the Panda provides ultimate freedom of use, where flexibility and
versatility become the city car's real strong points.
The dashboard
- enveloped in a colourful frame - has been designed as a practical multipurpose shell containing a large and roomy storage
"pocket" for stowing everything you want in total freedom. Added to that is the more classic glove box enclosed
in the bottom of the dashboard.
The raised gear lever in the centre of
the dashboard, up close to the steering wheel, guarantees comfortable driving. Another stylistic and functional feature is
the distinctive shape of the parking brake whose smaller size allows the space to be used more efficiently.
Then the Panda has slim front seats to make driving easier and to better accommodate passengers
as they provide more room for the legs of rear passengers, greater flexibility (the seat travel is 21 cm and vertical adjustment
is 6 cm) and enhanced seating comfort thanks to their roomier and encircling shape.
