This is the turbodiesel version of Fiat’s latest Panda, a rare breed in the budget city hatchback class. The engine in question is the 1.3 Multijet II diesel that’s much-improved over the original version, and it rides in a Panda that at its core shares hardware with the second-generation model (which is likely to remain on sale for a while after the new version makes the showroom) but has nevertheless been very substantially reworked. So although its wheelbase remains the same it has grown, to provide a bigger boot and more interior space.
