Fiat Panda IV (320) (2021 – 2025)

Reliability score : 8.2/10

Expert's Presentation and Clarification ATTENTION - Important Clarification: As an independent expert, I must correct two common confusions regarding your request. 1. The Generation: The Fiat Panda sold between 2021 and 2025 is not the IV generation (project 320 does not officially exist in this form; the true 4th generation is the Grande Panda launched in late 2024 on the Stellantis platform). The 2021-2025 models are actually the continuation of the Panda III (project 319), updated with mild hybridization (MHEV) and recently renamed Pandina. 2. The Diesel: The diesel engine (1.3 MultiJet) was definitively removed from the Panda catalog in 2018 due to anti-pollution standards (Euro 6d-Temp). Therefore, there is no Fiat Panda diesel produced between 2021 and 2025. This report therefore cov

✅ Strengths

Excellent reliability of the new 1.0 FireFly MHEV engine
Maintenance and insurance costs among the lowest on the market
Formidable compactness and maneuverability in the city
Highly appreciated elevated driving position
Exceptional off-road capabilities of 4x4 versions (TwinAir)

⚠️ Weaknesses

Total absence of diesel engine during this period (contrary to demand)
Aging overall design (platform dating from 2011)
Outdated passive safety (0 Euro NCAP stars in the last test in 2018)
Very light sound insulation on the highway
Basic onboard technology despite the 7-inch touchscreen

🎯 Verdict

Expert's Verdict If you are absolutely looking for a 2021-2025 Fiat Panda Diesel, the verdict is simple: it's impossible, as this model has not been available new since 2018. If a seller offers you such a vehicle, it is a model year error or fraud. However, if you are evaluating the 2021-2025 Panda with its 1.0 FireFly MHEV engine, it is a RECOMMENDED BUY for urban use. It is a rustic, ultra-proven car, whose early flaws have been ironed out over 10 years. It is economical to buy and to run. Avoid the 0.9 TwinAir engine on the used market unless you have an absolute need for 4x4 transmission and an impeccable service history.
