What happened

Fiat has relaunched the Grande Panda in Israel after eight years, combining retro styling with modern micro-hybrid technology and urban practicality. Priced from 119,000 shekels, it offers a spacious interior and comfortable ride but faces stiff competition from rivals like the Citroën C3. While its safety features and noise insulation are basic, the Panda's distinctive character and usability make it a compelling city car option.
