Fiat Panda 4x4

Fiat Panda 4x4  has just revealed high-riding all-wheel drive version of the new Panda in advance of its upcoming debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The new Fiat Panda 4x4 will come with two microscopic engines, a raised suspension, and minor exterior tweaks over the base front-drive Panda. Fiat Panda 4X4 Rear Three Quarter Visually, Fiat's new Panda 4x4 is almost identical to the regular Panda and, for the most part, looks like someone fitted a lift-kit onto a one.

Up front, the Panda 4x4 has a square-shaped grille that merges into an aluminum-colored faux skidplate and unique foglights. The Panda 4x4 also gets black rocker sills, prominent "4x4" badging on the rear passenger doors, and 15-inch wheels. The Panda-on-steroids look is complete out back with a unique bumper with its own fake aluminum skidplate. Inside, the Panda 4x4's cabin is identical to the Panda's save for an earth-tone color palate and an extra cubby hole. Powering the Fiat Panda 4x4 is the Panda's "TwinAir" 0.9-liter turbocharged I-2 that makes 85 hp. An 80-hp dual fuel version that runs on gasoline and methane will also be offered. Those who prefer diesel engines can opt for the MultiJet II 1.3-liter turbodiesel I-4 that's good for 75 hp. Both engines are paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Despite what the name may have you believe, the Panda 4x4 will be offered with both front- and all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive version uses an electronic locking differential to route power where it's needed. Most of the time, the front wheels will be propelling the Panda 4x4 along. For especially slippery terrain, full-time all-wheel drive can be activated with the flip of a switch at speeds under 32 mph.
