Fiat Panda 4x4 prices & specs

It's now 30 years since the introduction of the Fiat Panda 4x4

Tinted rear glass is a cost option

Aluminium-coloured inserts hint at the presence of skid plates underneath

15-inch alloys differentiate the 4x4 from the two-wheel drive Trekking

Panda's engine sends 98 per cent of power to the front wheels, unless slip is detected

Short rear overhang means good rear departure angle of 36deg, front is a measly 19deg, however

The Panda's driving position is particularly upright

Shoulder and kneeroom is a bit tight for front seat occupants, but at least there's plenty of headroom

Petrol versions get a six-speed manual gearbox

Ventilation controls are arranged in this neat console

The rear bench is really for two, despite the provision of three belts and headrests

Boot is big enough for the weekly shop

The Panda 4x4 can be had with either a 0.9-litre petrol or a 1.3-litre diesel engine

The TwinAir petrol engine is a characterful unit

There's plenty of body movement in corners, but grip is decent

High-profile tres and tall suspension equal a comfortable ride

A loveable 4x4 supermini that trades space for style and charm
