General The FIAT Panda 4x4 will be available to order again in 2023.

£15K for the standard Panda is surely going to be a hard sell even if it is better specced than previously.

That said, Tipo prices are even more absurd, although no one pays full retail for a Fiat.

I just chased my dealer to see if they have heard anything but no updates from Fiat. That is coming up a year at the end of the month since I ordered mine

I’ve ordered one through Arnold Clark. Apparently on route to the uk.
Is it worth trying through them? They have a few crosses coming.

Fiat's own website was listing a few unsold 4x4s - but you have to accept the colour and spec they have. Just looked again and there's just one left... here https://fiat.findvehicles.co.uk/en-...xDYXI1?sortByRule=PriceAscending&models=Panda (which is in stock at Arnold Clarke in Leeds)

And, as mentioned by @Dangerinleyland Arnold Clarke are suggesting they can order in a brand new 4x4 Wild or 4x4 Cross model - see here... https://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars?payment_type=cash&sort_order=age&make_model[fiat][]=panda&show_click_and_collect_options=false

Heard today of someone who’s had a new 4x4 on order for 14 months and still doesn’t even have a build date…

 

[Mouse1903]

Cheers guys, I enquired with my local Arnold Clark in Aberdeen last year but they couldn't guarantee a winter pack and it was £600 more than my order which was cheapest I could get in country (£17.2k for minimal grey and winter pack). Some places selling them new for £19 to £20k+

Now that's interesting. Hopefully mine still has a Twinair, Firefly may be better on fuel but will be underpowered and doesn't sound as good

 

[nnlbwn]

Well that doesn't make much sense to me, why spend the R&D to engineer a semi-new Panda 4x4 similar to the last one but just different enough to make manufacturing a bit more complicated, if a brand new 2024 EV model is coming out a little after that? Maybe the 4x4 is selling a lot more than I think in other countries but otherwise I just don't see the point in investing that much when most people probably just buy the base model FWD.

This is the same site that told us to expect the new panda (169) to be like (based on) the Brazilian Uno as the new ‘world car’
The ‘run out’ vehicles will be just that, using all the stocks they have, regardless of the claims to have no twinairs or diesels left, they’ll utilise whatever and sell it if folk want it…they still had body shells for 128s, including coupes, well into the eighties wehn the second generation strada came out

 

[Mouse1903]

Who knows the truth, very little coming from Fiat themselves. It's a wee bit frustrating not knowing when my car is going to be delivered

They are worse specced then before, no rear door speaker, no a-pillar tweeters for the basic model, no more winter pack, ........

 

[The Pretender]

Those Panda's are City Cross not 4x4 IMHO, and have still a intercooler behind the front bumper, so that could not be a 70 hybrid.

Rear door speakers were deleted years ago.

Sorry but they are 4x4 TA's. Unless the City now sports a 4x4 exhaust and TA intercooler..

There is no way tgis car will have anything but a TA under the bonnet. Its on the way out, not being developed

I agree the spec has slipped unless yoy go for the cross but over £21K is not doing it for me.

Cross on the rear doors, not 4x4, and there have been City Cross TA FWD models.

 

[Mouse1903]

Think rear speakers went when they downgraded the CD head unit to Bluetooth only around 2017

 

[The Panda Nut]

Cross on the rear doors, not 4x4, and there have been City Cross TA FWD models.

My Car also has cross on the rear doors and is.... a Cross 4x4 (waze) not a city cross. Only the TA has an intercooler and only the 4x4 has a transverse mounted rear silencer.. There are now so many variations and side moldings they are not much of an indicater, ditto the roof bars as some Panda Cross have the raised bars and some dont. What the logic is Im not sure.

 

[Mouse1903]

I've contacted Fiat UK direct now to see if they can advise on my order. Annoyingly the dealer I ordered from have a brand new Cross with a winter pack in, although it's not the same colour and it's just over 3k more than what I paid.

I was in Dundee yesterday so swung by Arnold Clark Fiat. They said they have been allocated 3 x Panda 4x4 Wild's with no options although they are showing on the system without even a chassis number so the salesman said they would be at least 6 months away.
