2013 Fiat Panda 4×4

2013 Fiat Panda 4×4. The newest 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 - really the only A segment four-wheel drive model - will be making its debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Together with standard equipment able to fulfill the most demanding of consumers, from the technical perspective, the new 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 improves itself once again and reasserts its admirable ability to contend with off-road cars of great importance and greater dimensions (as well as much higher prices).

2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 - With five doors, the car is 368 centimetres long, 167 centimetres wide and 160 centimetres high. The wheelbase is 230 centimetres long. It has a front track of 141 centimetres plus a rear track of 140.

For that look from the new 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4, Fiat Centro Stile designers started from the concept of consolidating its purely functional design features, adding small details that convey the feel of the extremely sophisticated multifunctional mini SUV. Looks are strongly characterised through the marked geometric lines in the front and rear bumpers with aluminium colour cosmetic inserts to underline the presence of metallic protection beneath the body. Unlike the prior generation, the tailpipes from the new 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 seamlessly follow the lines from the body and be sure complete protection for the lower area of the car. Two body colours now complement the current colour pattern to boost its 4×4 looks: Sicilia orange (pastel) and Toscana green (metallic).

The interiors get the solutions adopted on 4×2 versions with a few important innovations: a brand new green fascia variant framing the instruments and the large storage pocket, fabric seats having a special design in three colour variant (green, beige, orange) and eco-leather details, front and rear door panels also with eco-leather inserts and lastly a higher console over the central tunnel which adds one more storage compartment towards the 14 already present on 4×2 versions.

The 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 features the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system with ELD (Electronic Locking Differential) work as standard. This technique provides additional assistance while driving and leaving uphill on slippery terrain (snow, ice, mud etc.). Specifically, the ELD acts by braking the wheels with poor grip (or those slipping more than others), thereby transferring the drive force to people who have more grip on the ground. This function might be activated manually by pressing the button behind the apparatus lever and operates below 50 km/h.

Two engine versions for that 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 will be available, both with Start&Stop: the brand new 85 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and also the 75 HP 1.3 MultiJet II diesel. According to the 1.2 Fire of the previous generation, the TwinAir Turbo has 40% more torque. This with the special six-speed gearbox with low-range first gear ensures far better uphill starts, quality when starting, flexibility and pick-up. A similar improvement is situated round the MultiJet II engine, where torque is increased by 30%. Elegant looks coupled with real off-road mechanics. Here’s, briefly, the spirit in the new model which continues the extraordinary success in the previous 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 and it is likely to be the benchmark during this market segment thanks to its refined style, focus on detail and comprehensive equipment. This really is demonstrated with a complete and unique selection of standard equipment: ESC system with ELD, manual cooling and heating system, CD/MP3 radio, 15? burnished alloy rims, 175/65 R15 M+S tyres, electric rear-view mirrors, central locking system with handheld remote control and rear head restraints. An enormous selection of optional equipment and accessories is available, to help enhance its mainly urban or off-road use as required.

The 2013 Fiat Panda 4×4 has got the most extensive, versatile range in its category, and to confirm this two important new Panda members of the family will be making their debut in Paris: the Trekking and Natural Power versions. The first is the link involving the 4×2 and also the 4×4 version by combining off-road looks with smart front-wheel drive by implementing Traction+ technology. It is really an innovative traction control system, which improves handling on slippery terrain guaranteeing excellent performance when leaving. Addititionally there is the new Panda Natural Power equipped with a dual fuel (methane and petrol) 80 HP 0.9 TwinAir Turbo engine to combine all the running cost and eco-friendly benefits of methane with Turbo TwinAir technology for excellent fuel consumption, emission and gratifaction values.
