The Chinese automotive market continues to expand both locally and internationally with great strides. The twin of the FIAT Panda is for strong hearts.
This time you won’t have to hold on to the speed of a racing car, but to the absurd design of this twin of the Panda. China, today in the automotive sector and beyond, represents the Eldorado. Whatever the style or engine choice, Chinese cars are sold and begin to travel at full speed even outside the national borders. FIAT Panda last model (Ansa) tuttomotoriweb.it
The secret? Copy successful European and American cars that have made history. The Dragon likes to win easy, huh? Well yes, without even too much paranoia, the Asian market with new brands is riding this trenddisrupting the global market. Several politicians and some courageous leaders of European car manufacturers have spoken out on the issue, sounding an alarm.
The four-wheeler market is changing and we have entered a new phase. In 2035 in Europe only cars with electric batteries will be sold, exclusively, for a political choice at the top. Anyone who is really familiar with serious ecological problems knows that environmental problems would not be canceled with the circulation of EV suns. The fact is that in some markets supply is growing dramaticallyalthough demand is still struggling to take off due to prices, especially in our latitudes.
Thus, new brands are springing up like mushrooms, above all thanks to the Asian economic strength. In fact they are not innovating, except for the assembly of batteries. In terms of design no Chinese car has given the “wow” effectRather, controversy has arisen over copycat cars of great European classics.
The FIAT Panda in Chinese sauce
The first series of the Panda achieved several firsts, becoming the very first car, less than 4 meters long, to have a diesel engine and four-wheel drive. Even an electric version was launched in 1990, but was shelved due to prohibitive costs. The 2nd gen won the 2004 Car of the Year award. The latest series continues to be one of the best-selling small cars nationwide.

In China, they will probably have sensed the commercial success of the Panda, launching a Mini EV version. The Chinese city car measures 3065 mm in length, 1600 in height and 1522 in width. With two doors and four seats it could become one of the most purchased cars in Asia. The bomb price of 5400 euros (they reach 6800 for the full optional version) will help. The design is very modern, but very questionable.
The version, as you can see from the images posted on the ChinaUNCUT Twitter profile, has two large doors to facilitate passenger entry. For the launch of the Panda Mini EV they also used a real Panda, as if to mock the Piedmontese brand. The car would have 40 horsepower exclusively with the lithium iron phosphate battery made by Guoxuan High-Tech. The guaranteed range would be around 150 km. In the city, it will certainly be agile in traffic and convenient for parking, but from an aesthetic point of view it remains an ugly version of our Panda.
