The Euro 5 engines – fitted to the new Panda – will significantly improve fuel consumption as well as lower CO2 figures and enhance the overall performance of the Panda line-up in terms of a higher top speed and stronger acceleration.

The new vehicles will further reinforce Fiat’s industry-leading environmental standing – in February the company recorded Europe’s lowest volume weighted CO₂ emissions for the fourth consecutive year.

'The Fiat Panda is one of the motor industry’s great success stories,' said Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK and Ireland. 'And we plan to continue that with this new range of cars. The addition of the Euro 5 engine to the line-up makes the Panda an even more tempting choice for drivers looking to save on fuel costs and keep CO₂ figures as low as possible.'
