Stellantis is currently working on a brand new 2024 Fiat Panda Electric, available in Europe and operating since 2012 with no major redesign. The Panda is part of the category of city cars that are struggling to survive in Europe because of what car manufacturers believe is excessive regulation in the safety and emission aspects that are driving prices up substantially. The next generation Panda powertrains are expected to incorporate all-electric and combustion in the nameplate, which occupies the third and final position in Fiat’s B-Segment lineup.

In an Autocar report that was published on April 4th, 2022. Francois said that the next-gen Panda is being developed as well as other larger and smaller hatchbacks/crossovers that carry that Panda DNA. It is believed that the Centoventi idea was known as CC4 (City Car-4 ), where the 4 is an upcoming fourth-generation Panda). The concept was presented to the public. Fiat claimed it was pushing to develop an electric Panda because it could be required to pay huge fines from the regulator for failing to meet its future CO2 targets. The company created the Centoventi concept using identical technology to the 500 Electric.
In the Centoventi concept, the additional batteries were positioned beneath the car’s floor (this is done by the service network that is on the production vehicle, Fiat said), making removal and installation effortless. Another battery beneath the seats has also been featured in the concept Fiat electric car that the company claimed could be charged and disconnected at the convenience of the owner’s home. The modularity of the battery will call for the creation of a unique platform which we do not see as part of the strategy being developed at Stellantis which is why it’s likely that the design aspects will be the basis for the production car.
