The urban vehicle known as the Fiat Panda was made by the Italian car manufacturer Fiat. The very first Fiat Pandas were produced between the years of 1980 and 2003 and only had a few changes.
The first generation of Fiat Pandas is now widely referred to as the “old Panda.” The second version of the vehicle was launched in the year 2003. It is often called the “new Panda.” The Fiat Panda was named the European Car of the Year for the year 2004.
The Fiat Panda was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It was viewed as a modern day interpretation of the Renault 4 or the Citroen 2CV. Basically, it was a utility vehicle that was meant to be easy to maintain and drive. It was first introduced in the year 1980s, whereupon it was acclaimed for its box like styling. Two years later, that style was developed in the form of supermini Uno. The Fiat Panda borrowed heavily from the Fiat parts bin at Fiat, utilizing transmissions and Configurations from the Fiat 127 as well as an air cooled 652 cc two cylinder power plant from the Fiat 126. Simplicity was a theme that was also employed in the rear suspension of the vehicle, which utilized a dead axle that was suspended on leaf springs.
