In 2026, Fiat is set to shake up the automotive market with a renewed lineup that will appeal to fans of compact and innovative cars. Between the Grande Panda and the strong return of the 500, the Italian brand seems determined to make an impression!
A Year Rich in New Features
Throughout 2026, Fiat will unveil a series of models that will significantly expand its offering. Among the most anticipated launches are the Grande Panda, which will finally offer a manual transmission, as well as the 600 Sport in Milano Cortina edition and the new 500 Hybrid. These models are not just updates: they represent strategic choices to attract an increasingly demanding clientele.
The new offerings also include the Qubo L, designed for passenger transport, as well as two new crossovers in the C segment, namely the Panda SUV and the Panda Fastback. Both are based on the Grande Panda platform, and their prices will be kept below the 30,000 euro mark, a crucial factor in a rapidly changing market.

Fiat Grande Panda SUV: A New Adventure in the C Segment
The most strategic new offerings for Fiat in 2026 include two new models from the Panda family. The first is the Fiat Grande Panda SUV (provisional name), which may also be known as the Fiat Multipla or Giga Panda. This crossover is based on the Smart Car platform of the regular Grande Panda and will offer the same powertrains: electric, hybrid, or gasoline.
