This debut isn’t just about another model—it’s about heritage, identity, and a new chapter for FIAT as it blends tradition with modern hybrid technology.

This particular hybrid setup would flop here in America. It doesn't have any horsepower. It's sad because it would be nice to have a basic Fiat 500 model. It would also be nice to have the Grande Panda offered here as well. Now that we've seen the American built version of the EP6 1.6 liter four cylinder engine, I'm wondering if that will fit under the hood in place of those Euro 3 cylinder units in either the 500 or Grande Panda. I like the idea of a six-speed manual with a BSG, but combined instead with the Dundee built four which has 2 and 1/2 times the horsepower of the 1 liter three cylinder of the 500 Torino Hybrid model. That would make an awesome Abarth model.

Latin American Fiats are getting the 1.5L GSE-T operating on the Miller Cycle, and combine that with a six-speed automatic, using a single electric motor in place of a torque converter. Products like that are why The Latin American operations keep Fiat alive.

Grand Panda should be build here.


My Daughter wants to replace her 2015 500 and the 3 cylinder hybrid is fine for her.
