Fiat Grande Panda: manual gearbox dropped in the Netherlands as hybrid and electric take over
media.stellantis.com
Fiat has pulled the manual petrol Grande Panda from Dutch showrooms. The electric version, from €25,499, is now cheaper than the €26,499 hybrid.
Fiat has stopped selling the Grande Panda with its regular 1.2-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox in the Netherlands. The model is now available only with electrified powertrains.
The line-up still includes the mild hybrid version, rated at 110 hp, paired with an automatic transmission. It starts at €26,499. The system doesn’t turn the car into a full electric vehicle, but it eases the load on the combustion engine and allows short bursts of electric-only driving.
The cheapest Grande Panda is now the electric version, priced from €25,499. It comes with a 113 hp motor, a 44 kWh battery and up to 320 km of range. Fiat also claims support for fast charging at up to 100 kW.
The entry price hasn’t gone up, since the discontinued petrol version and the electric model cost the same. The manual variant simply wasn’t selling well. Among new cars in 2026, the Grande Panda remains a rare case where the fully electric version is cheaper than the hybrid.
