Its lightweight design, weighing under 1,000kg, combined with a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and 165mm ground clearance, makes it exceptionally capable on challenging terrains, from snowy Alpine roads to muddy rural tracks. Reviewers highlight its ability to tackle harsh conditions, with tests in extreme environments like Lapland and the Himalayas proving its durability and traction!
The Panda 4x4’s boxy yet stylish design, featuring a “squircular” interior theme and colourful trim options, adds a fun, distinctive character that sets it apart from rivals like the Suzuki Jimny or Dacia Duster
Equipped with a frugal 0.9-litre TwinAir petrol engine (85hp) (up to 57.6mpg claimed, though closer to 45mpg in real-world driving) and low running costs. Its compact size makes it nimble in urban settings, easy to park, and ideal for narrow rural lanes, while the raised suspension and skid plates enhance its off-road prowess. Owners praise its reliability, engaging driving experience, and surprising levels of luxury
