For 2026, FIAT has officially renewed its most iconic nameplate — the Panda — with a modernized, unified lineup built around two distinct but complementary models: the Grande Panda and Pandina. The goal is simple: offer affordable, flexible, and eco-conscious urban mobility that fits every lifestyle.

 
I'm going to sound like a broken record. Bring the Smart platform here for production stateside. The only vehicle I would brand a Fiat is the Grande Panda. It would also be the only B-segment vehicle built here on that platform. The rest of the vehicles would be C-segment and branded, engineered, styled and powered as Chryslers, Dodges, Jeeps, or Rams. I would even put an American built engine and transmission in the Fiat as well. I love that basic Pop trim, BTW.

Ii is rumored the Jeep Renegade replacement was going to based upon a stretched Grande Panda on the Smart Platform. Stellantis is gearing up the production facility in Morocco for production and shipping of knock down kits of their products, I suspect the Renegade replacement is one of those products. The future for importing the small Jeep under today's circumstances is in doubt. Build it here.
