- The Fiat Panda City Cross is an urban-focused two-wheel drive version of the much admired 4x4 Fiat Panda Cross. It comes with a 70bhp 1.2-litre three cylinder petrol engine, which can achieve 51.4mpg
The car gets the same crossover-like styling as the 4x4 Panda Cross, with chunky black plastic cladding that extends from the headlights, over the wheel arches to the rear bumper. It also gets the same 15in rims.Fiat has introduced two new colours, a pastel Grey, like the car we are testing in this video and an Electronica Blue, both of which are exclusive to the model.

I have the panda cross 1.3 diesel and the first thing I did was buy a spare wheel which cost around £100 as I absolutely hate those gunk kits. Then over where the spare wheel goes I cut a piece of ply board to fit so as to have a solid base for dog. I’ve had mine for about a year now and it’s on a 2015 plate and it hasn’t even done 18,000 miles and I love it the little thing but when I first got it some people in the village laughed at it especially one snob who has a Range Rover but he wasn’t laughing as I drove past him as he struggled to get grip during the last snow we had, I felt like giving him the finger as I left him stuck on the bank! These panda 4x4’s are like little mountain goats as they are so sure footed and in my experience never get stuck.
Excellent overview!
The one good thing about the Panda, it's very versatile, it can be any car you want it to be, it can be your 2nd car, family run around, school run car, weekend adventure car, shopping car, work car, moving stuff car, commuting car, city car etc etc
I really enjoy driving our 4x4 Panda, it's a lot of fun, very nimble and agile even though it only has the little 875cc 2 cylinder twinair engine.
Overall very practicle and very economical to run and own, tons of Italian style and loads of unique character.😎👍
Great comment Thankyou
The fewer the electric gizmos, the smaller it's CO2 footprint and less things to go wrong. My mate bought an Audio 6 Quattro - 3 year depreciation is horrendous and when the car's computer motherboard failed the repair cost him €4,800. A lot to be said for simple and uncomplicated transport.
Great comment thank you
My friend's brother has a new Mercedes and the dash packed up. They can't fix it and are buying the car back from him. Not sure if this is due to micro-chip shortage. He is losing £11,000 after a year of ownership. People moan about them, but my Alfas seldom let me down.
I have this model. I use it for a motorway commute to work (unplanned due to a previous redundancy) and am currently getting 63 mpg!
Hi, which engine is it you have?

Great review 👍. Great car. Proper basic 'old school' motoring.
Thanks for the comment
I love Pandas - I have a 2017 4x4 Cross TwinAir - just as brilliant except not as economical as this one. BTW, I'm a bass player and I have an equally funky MarkBass 2x10" speaker cabinet and a MarkBass 500W amplifier. All this gear fits neatly in the boot space and the parcel shelf hides it away from prying eyes. That's what the shelf is for IMHO.
Great comment thanks
I'm thinking of buying a Cross twinair, I've read the mpg isn't as good as stated. What are you getting and what sort of driving do you do? My commute is a mix of town and 50mph roads.
@@AR-zr1om I sold my Panda last year (because I left France) a very sad day 😭.
So I can't totally remember. I mostly drove very short trips with some ridiculous hills. It was about 38mpg as I remember. But on run like Briançon to Turin I could get nearly 50mpg. A truly brilliant car though. I miss it badly.
This guy is legit. Great Review 👍
Bit of a silly comment on the parcel shelf. Very important to hide anything you put in the boot whilst parked up.
AJ, thank you for your clear, enthusiastic, well presented concise review on the Fiat Panda city cross.
Love your now, subdued enthusiasm on the review of this vehicle.
thank you so much.
🤣
Cracking review and presenter. Subscribed.
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for a good entertaining review . This car may not give Tesla or Audi etc. any worries but it does have a quirky appeal, and as you say, for the money , you can't complain . Regards Kieron
Thanks for the comment, appreciated
Great little car fiat Panda city cross thanks fella great review 👍
👍
People here seems to be obsesssed with safety. Safety should be tackled by increasingly draconian rules on speed limits and other aspects of driving, rather than by puting people travelling in tanks. By the way these "tanks" (SUVs, crossovers, pick-ups and so on) are drangerous for pedrestians, cyclists and others who also deserve safety
De-sanitise with UV light, neat trick usually that would sanitise it.... :)
Great for Boston, Miami and Colombia….cool video
Great test drive…. Cool dude…
Dead wrong about the manual and definately needs a spare tyre. If you're out of signal reach they can save your life.
You can have a compact spare wheel too!
why do people doing tests on cars throw the parcel shelf at some point the car goes back and will proberly be sold. its a test car and should be looked after. people want to see what the car does and not to see new car parts being thrown away. you wouldnt do it to your own car.
Salut my friend super car super .
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..
I'm wondering, can you play mp3's via the usb?. Great Review btw.
Thanks for the comment always appreciated
Yes you can. And you can turn the radio off by pressing the volume knob. I guess the manual does have a use.
Brilliant 4x4
Looks good 👍👍
Thanks Frank knew you would like the car
I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail he would have a southern accent. How did I guess that ?
👍😎
Last I heard it was zero rated for safety.
Wrong do some effing research before making stupid comments. ffs.
What about its 0 NCAP rating?
That's the 2018 pandas, pandas before that 4/5 euroncap.
Only because it does not have a esp button , apart from that it’s 4 stars.
If you get a car £ 50000 don’t give you a spear wheel!
a couple of dogs and some shopping? What?
The safety and technology are so bad this is not worth buying. The Dacia Sandero Stepway is much better in every way.
Why?
@@fd7760 because FIAT dropped the ball
No it's not. Dacia no
I have a 2016 Dacia Duster and my god the Fiat Panda is so much better built in almost every aspect. There is rust appearing on my vehicle, the power steering failed (645.00 bill), door seals torn, paint cracking on the roof welds... avoid Dacia at any cost.
Biased comment against Panda
Awful car
Great little car
Great little 4x4 car.
Think about getting one the 4x4 model wondering if engine reliable
what a load of bull.
