From EV Review Ireland.
Welcome back to the channel! It has been a long time coming, but we are finally here for the Irish launch of the Fiat Grande Panda All-Electric. This stylish and retro-inspired city car is making its debut in right-hand drive, and it’s set to be one of the most affordable ways to get into a new EV. With prices starting at just under €23,000 in Ireland, Fiat is bringing plenty of personality and practicality to the B-segment. We’re going to have a look around the clever exterior design, explore the "Bam-box" interior, and take it out for a brief first drive.

Features
Built-In Spiral Charging Cable: A world-first innovation, the Grande Panda features a 4.5-meter spiral charging cable housed behind the front grille, eliminating the need for messy cables in the boot for standard AC charging [00:51, 01:21].
Ultra-Competitive Pricing: Positioned as one of Europe’s most accessible EVs, it starts at €22,995 in Ireland for the Pop trim, with the top-spec La Prima model coming in at €26,995 [00:19, 01:48].
Quirky Retro Aesthetics: Pays homage to the original 1980s Panda with embossed "PANDA" and "FIAT" lettering in the metal bodywork, paired with modern pixelated "X" daytime running lights [00:30, 01:13].
Clever "Bam-box" Interior: The dashboard features a unique textured storage area called the "Bam-box" (made of sustainable bamboo materials in upper trims), complemented by a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and a 10-inch driver display [03:27, 03:57].
Efficient LFP Power: Equipped with a 44 kWh LFP battery providing a WLTP range of 320 km, and supports 100 kW DC fast charging for a 10-80% top-up in under 30 minutes [00:21, 01:31].
Practical Dimensions: Despite its compact 4-meter length, it offers a surprisingly large 361-liter boot and enough interior height to comfortably fit two adults in the rear seats [01:33, 02:59].
