Just recently, Stellantis CEO, Carlos Tavares, expressed his concerns about the very high prices of new cars globally. In an interview, he said he is “very concerned about the effect of affordability becoming much more of an issue as inflationary pressures escalate.” One of the automaker’s ideas to combat this is a new wave of affordable compact electric vehicles, but these are not coming until later this decade. The alternative? At least if you are in Europe, it’s called the Fiat Panda.
The Italian city car celebrated its 40th birthday in 2020 and received updates for the 2021 model year. You can’t buy it in the United States, though — the 500X is Fiat’s only model available in America for 2022 — but you can still buy a new Panda in Italy and other European countries. According to a new report, you’ll have that chance until at least 2026. We don’t know what will happen after that year but we know the small car has another four years on the market.
