Fiat Panda 4X40° Limited Edition honors 40 years of iconic history

The 40th anniversary collectors edition of the Fiat Panda 4×4 with bespoke visual treatments will be limited to 1,983 units, echoing the car’s birth year.

Fiat Panda is one of the most charming old-school cars from the Italian brand that still retains its hold in the car market, especially in Europe. The car was first launched in 1980, although the 4×4 version was introduced in three years later in 1983. The Panda 4×4 became the first compact, transverse-engined car to have a 4WD system.

Since then, the 4×4 variant of the Panda is an undisputed icon in its segment, even reaching a cult status in a very short span in the European markets. Fiat claims to have sold over 800,000 units of Panda 4×4 since 1983, achieving a 10 percent historical sales mix in the 4×4 category of the A-segment in all markets.

The car is in its third-generation avatar for well over a decade, since its debut in 2012. In 2022, Fiat discontinued the Panda 4×4 and its ‘Cross’ iterations, while continuing to offer only the 4×2 version in the name of Panda Cross.

To commemorate the 40th birth year of the Panda 4×4, Fiat has launch a limited, special edition variant called ‘4×40°, with exterior and interior treatments. Only 1,983 units of the Panda 4X40° will be made, making it one of the most exclusive Pandas ever made in its history.

Dominated by its unique ‘Cross’ characterisations, the Panda 4X40° comes in ivory solid body paint, chunky 15′-inch bicolor alloys, blackened mirror caps, front red tow hooks, black roof bars, and so on for an accentuated sporty look. On the inside, the car boasts three rear headrests, driver seat height adjustment, leather steering wheel and gear shift knob.

The new Panda 4×40° will be available only in select European markets, namely Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
