After an idle start, the Fiat Grande Panda is finally starting to make its mark on European roads. Figures for July 2025 show a clear improvement, even if production still falls short of the model's potential.
Italy is finally served... and the Grande Panda enters the Top 50
In July, 1,082 Fiat Grande Panda vehicles were registered in Italy, enabling it to enter the Top 50 sales chart for the first time (28th place). For the whole of January to July, it hasn't yet made the list... but it won't be long before it does.
The classic Fiat Panda remains untouchable, with 7,860 registrations last month, still number 1 in the market. The Citroën C3, the Grande Panda's technical cousin, is also in 4th place, just behind the Jeep Avenger and ahead of the Dacia Duster.
Spain and Germany more timid
Spain is not yet enthusiastic: only 132 Grande Panda registered in July (192 since January). The Fiat 600 remains well ahead with 343 units in July alone.
In Germany, the month of July saw 233 registrations of the Grande Panda, bringing the annual total to 466.
La France difficile à lire
In France, the data are confusing because the Fiat Panda and Grande Panda are counted together. But if we focus on the 100 % electric versions (the classic Panda does not exist in BEV form), we can read 224 electric Grande Panda registrations in July, for a total of 1,120 since the start of the year. (We contacted our data supplier to obtain the figures for the Fiat Grande Panda separate from the Panda).
July: 2,000 units in Europe
Adding up the known markets, we can estimate that the Grande Panda exceeded 2,000 registrations in Europe in July 2025. This is a significant improvement on previous months, but still modest for a model destined to become one of Fiat's mainstays.
While sales are accelerating, the delivery times associated persistent problems at the Kragujevac plant continue to hamper the model's success. The Grande Panda has everything it takes to become one of Fiat's best-selling models: a small SUV with neo-retro styling and an affordable price tag. But as long as the production facilities don't keep up, it risks losing some of its potential customers to other Fiat models... or to the competition.
Watch this space, because if production rates improve, the Grande Panda could quickly climb the European rankings and become Fiat's new star.

Lets hope this brilliant little car isn't left behind due to potential customers being put off by slow deliveries. This should be a massive success for Fiat. Whilst Ireland is a very small market for Fiat, I am eager to get my wife to buy one, looks like it'll be in showrooms here September (delayed from May, and then July)
I saw 2 this weekend... in front of a CC Fiât. I really like the yellow, but I don't see how it's neoretro. My wife even thought it looked very futuristic from the front! She even said why Panda?
neoretro: the futuristic side your wife saw and the aesthetic codes of the old Panda.
It's true that its size makes it more like the Grande Punto than the original Panda 😮
It will also be produced in Algeria (Oran) at the end of the year 😉
Yes, but only for the North African market, not for Europe.
I can confirm that delivery times are improving. My mid-March order (for the Prima hybrid) was announced for mid-September, and it finally went into production just before the annual factory closure! I've only got a few days to wait...
Let's hope for your sake that these production ups and downs don't have an impact on the quality of manufacture. When you see the way the C3 is assembled and the way it looks like a saucepan, a Punto, for example, would have been of much higher quality.
