Since its unveiling in 1983, the FIAT Panda 4×4 represented a radical game changer in the automotive industry and quickly became a legendary model. To commemorate its 40th anniversary, FIAT is presenting a special, limited edition called "4×40°", with only 1,983 exclusive units being built to commemorate the year of its inception. The new version continues to appeal to those who want a reliable, comfortable car with superior performance on all terrains and fuel efficiency.
The 4×40° version not only retains its status as a class-leading limited 4×4, but also draws inspiration from its rich 40-year history of unrelenting commercial success. Since its launch, the Panda 4×4 has sold almost 800,000 units and continues to dominate the 4×4 segment with a historic sales mix of 10%.
The Fiat Panda 4×40° is set to impress with both its exterior and interior features, while retaining its characteristic compactness, innovation, agility and robustness. Featuring a sleek ivory compact body paint, 15-inch two-tone style wheels and black mirror covers, the car also features a red 4×40° logo and special decals commemorating its heritage on the painted side moldings. The interiors are mostly ivory, with soft-touch seat inserts and seats further decorated with commemorative icons, 4×40° logos and red double stitching.
The 4×40° limited edition also includes specific Cross features that emphasise its sporty appearance. It includes front fog lights, LED DRLs, privacy glass, red front tow hooks, black roof bars, five seats with three rear head restraints, a height-adjustable driver's seat and a leather steering wheel and gearshift selector. The car is equipped with a DAB radio with a 7″ touchscreen with CarPlay/Android Auto, automatic climate control, electric and heated mirrors, dusk and rain sensors and rear parking sensors to ensure a comfortable and safe driving experience.
Tracing the history of the Fiat Panda 4×4, we find a car that has evolved over 40 years while remaining true to its core ethos. Its playful personality, designed for urban use but adaptable to highway and off-road terrain, attracted a diverse customer base and set the trend for SUVs. The Fiat Panda 4×4 has seen three distinct but harmonious generations of models, including the Sisley and Country Club, the Cross and the New Cross, all contributing to the success of the Panda 4×4 range.
The new Panda 4×40° will be available in Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland, symbolizing the timelessness and popularity of the Fiat Panda 4×4, which lives on through its dedicated and passionate community of fans, and marking another milestone in Fiat's illustrious history.
