The arrival of the new Grande Panda Hybrid in Japan has been confirmed, with its introduction for the Japanese market expected to progress in autumn. As a new strategic model for the brand, it is intended to appeal to customers beyond its traditional image.
The vehicle has evolved into a B-segment compact SUV while inheriting the DNA of the original 1980 Panda. Its historical background and modern practicality are emphasized.
