Fiat has unveiled five concept cars that anticipate the future of the brand with the intention of producing global models, some specifically dedicated to markets where the Turin-based brand is a market leader.
Fiat Mega Panda
The first project is a citycar, larger than the current Panda: a sort of Mega Panda, whose design was also inspired by the brand’s birthplace – the iconic Lingotto building in Turin with its famous test track on the roof. The Fiat designers led by Francois Leboine were inspired by some of the Lingotto’s distinctive features to create the new design language: structural lightness, optimisation of space and luminosity. For example, the oval shape of ‘La Pista 500’ is echoed in the interior: from the dashboard to the screen and seats.
Fiat Giga Panda
The second is a kind of Giga Panda, an SUV for families, spacious and habitable. According to Fiat, the vehicle is further confirmation of the brand’s focus on the transport needs of families. The spirit of the concept is quite robust thanks to its squared-off lines.
Fiat Fastback
The third concept is a fastback. Heir to two of the brand’s cars – the Fiat Fastback in Brazil and the Fiat Tipo in the Middle East and Africa – this fastback aims to follow in its footsteps and establish itself globally in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and even Europe. This concept car is built on the same modular platform and features a sporty design. Thanks to its dynamic silhouette and aerodynamic qualities, it has lower fuel consumption and a more modern and youthful style than many SUVs.
Fiat Camper
The all-rounder par excellence is a kind of manifesto of a Dolce Vita style because its features aim to reconnect people with each other and with nature. This concept pays homage to the ‘Functionality’ of the Panda of the 1980s, recalling the versatility of a car made for the city with the features of an SUV and the soul of a trustworthy companion. Like a camper van.
Fiat Pick-up
Fiat is a leader in South America where the Strada pick-up is the best-selling vehicle in the Brazilian market. In the future, this type of vehicle will be able to replicate this success globally, including in Europe. The new concept adds fun to functionality and responds to the needs of customers who have rediscovered the value of leisure time. This concept combines the peculiarities of a pick-up truck with the functionality of an LCV and the comfort of an SUV, all with dimensions suitable for the city.
