00:00Welcome to the new video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04Today, it's all about the Fiat Grande Panda 4x4 Concept,
00:08the exciting off-road version of the popular city runabout.
00:13Fiat has now released the first images of the concept vehicle
00:16and the chances of series production are more than good.
00:19The term, legend, is often overused.
00:22But in the case of the Panda 4x4, it is more than justified.
00:26For decades, the little climbing bear has been tirelessly climbing unpaved mountain paths,
00:31especially in its Italian homeland, where it has long since achieved cult status.
00:36With the Grande Panda 4x4, Fiat now wants to continue this legacy in a modern way.
00:43The current teaser images show a robust SUV look that clearly stands out
00:47from previous generations of the Panda 4x4.
00:52Particularly striking are the underbody protection integrated into the front apron,
00:56a robust roof rack with LED auxiliary headlights and a clearly visible spare wheel mounted on the roof.
01:03These details underline the model's off-road ambitions.
01:07The bodywork is also decidedly rustic.
01:12Wide plastic cladding on the wheel arches and a door panel with stylized Pender lettering create a robust look.
01:18The apparently significantly increased ground clearance indicates a raised chassis,
01:25which not only ensures better off-road capability, but also allows for larger tire formats.
01:30The images show chunky tires on white rims in a classic steel wheel design,
01:38which give the concept vehicle an authentic outdoor flair.
01:43Fiat is still keeping quiet about the technical details,
01:46but has confirmed a gasoline engine for the front axle and an electric motor on the rear axle.
01:50This combination clearly indicates a hybrid drive that takes over both the power supply and the control of the electric rear axle.
02:01Between the numbers, it is already clear in the official press release from Fiat
02:05that this concept is not just a design experiment.
02:08It is talking about a potential future all-wheel drive model.
02:15An indication that the implementation in series production is already taking concrete shape.
02:21Another detail that indicates that it is close to series production are the molded splash guards behind the wheels.
02:28Such elements are often required for legal reasons when raising the vehicle with larger tires.
02:33An indication that Fiat has already thought far beyond the design study.
02:40As always, you can read the full article in the video description.
