There are perfectly orchestrated “leaks”... and then there are those that look more like a little oversight. In the parking lot of the Stellantis factory in Kénitra, Morocco, a long-awaited Fiat model was photographed without the slightest camouflage. Yes, without anything. The result is the very first clear view of the Italian brand's future fastback SUV.
The image, relayed on Instagram by the Motocar.insights account, confirms what camouflaged prototypes had already been hinting at for several months: Fiat is indeed preparing a coupe SUV with an assertive design.
A design faithful to the new Fiat era
At first glance, it's hard not to make the connection with the Grande Panda. This future fastback SUV clearly takes up Fiat's new stylistic codes. From the side, the silhouette is unmistakable. The plunging roofline confirms the coupé positioning, with obvious inspiration from premium fastback SUVs... but in a much more accessible interpretation.
At the rear, the design is just as sophisticated. A horizontal black band links the lights, a detail that has become a signature in today's cars, while a small spoiler adds dynamism to the stern. The overall look is modern and, above all, consistent with Fiat's recent visual strategy.
Fiat Grizzly Fastback: the name is becoming clearer
Until now, this model has been known by the code names “Fastback” or “Giga Panda”, but things are now becoming much clearer. All indications are that Fiat is moving towards a double name:
- Fiat Grizzly for the classic SUV version
- Fiat Grizzly Fastback for this coupé version
A logical strategy, allowing the brand to offer the same model in two silhouettes, while retaining a strong identity based on animal names.
A family SUV... but affordable
Behind its more dynamic styling, this Grizzly Fastback remains a vehicle designed for family use. At around 4.4 to 4.5 meters long, it will be positioned in the C segment, above the Fiat Grande Panda.
It will be based on the Smart Car (STLA Smart) platform, already used by the Stellantis Group. Under the hood, we're likely to find familiar powertrains: a 1.2L petrol engine, a hybrid version, and a 100 % electric version capable of up to 400 km of autonomy.
The interior, also indirectly glimpsed via previous leaks, should take a modern, more upscale approach than the Fiat Grande Panda: compact digital instrumentation, large central screen and the presence of physical controls to keep things simple.
The real shock: a price under €20,000
But where Fiat could strike hardest is in its pricing positioning. The objective is clear. According to our information, Fiat wants to offer this SUV, whether Grizzly or Grizzly Fastback, at a starting price of under €20,000. An extremely aggressive price for a vehicle of this size and silhouette. In other words, Fiat could succeed in democratizing a concept hitherto reserved for much more expensive models, such as premium SUV coupes.
Whether a genuine error or a cleverly tolerated leak, this appearance without camouflage is a game-changer. The mystery surrounding the design is now over, and Fiat is showing that it is ready to accelerate the renewal of its range.

It's still not a Fiat, unfortunately... In fact, at this rate, apart from the 500, there will soon be no Fiat left in the Fiat catalog...
The line is very Fiat. After that, it's underneath that it's not.
Well, it looks like a Citroën cut to the serp especially.
Die Citroen-Qualität und Optik ,gehört nicht in einem Fiat!
Im LASTENHEFT sollte wie früher, 350.000 km möglich sein!
Die Analogen Instrumente vom Look ,wie beim Tipo oder Anleihen von Alfa, würden italienischen Chick vermitteln.
🔥 FIRE- Motoren z.B. mit 1,5 l und 130 PS ohne Hybrid
und 4 Zyl. für Biogene KRAFTSTOFFE UND min.90% CO.2 frei,
optimiert ! Auf Ethanolbasis ,etwa wie in Südamerika ,wenn möglich bivalent für 🇩🇪!
Und den 🐻 bärenstarken 1,6l Diesel für HVO100 mit 6 Gang Schaltbox oder 7-9 Gang AUTOMATIK der Ökotaste, mit 500-1000 U/ min „Absenkung der Drehzahl“!
Some media outlets also believe his name to be «Koala» 😉
No, it's the Grizzly Fastback according to italpassion 😉
I'm waiting to see the Fiat Grizzly Suv derived from the C3 Aircross/Frontera. .
It looks like the GPanda-C3 pair if you put the Citroën Basalt in parallel!

Well, apart from the elusive finish, I don't see much resemblance between the two.
Perceived quality is beyond compare with the poor Citroen Basalt
But it lacks Dolce Vita, only the Brava-style lights are Fiat.
It looks like a Grande Panda XL. So the Fiat Grizzly isn't so bad.
Good job, now its over! Fk Fiat and fk fkn Stellantis!!!! This is first time that ima hating Stellantis! Why? Because they lost big market Turkiye!!!! Stpd rtds!!! Im so angry 😡😡😡
Still Peugeot engine, or firefly?
Peugeot's Firefly won't be available until the end of this year at best, or even next year. This is conditional on the Euro 7 standard deadline.
Aesthetically quite successful, it looks like a modernized e-C4 with a Fiat twist.
Fiat needs a modern, practical car for families, and it's about time they brought it out.
I hope it will have a 4-cylinder fiat engine.
If she goes up with this pure tech crap she'll have no future.
No, it doesn't mean anything because the new large Panda sells very well with 3 cyl 1.2 l .
The Puretech no longer exists!
And no longer a major problem from 2023 onwards for generation 3.
I'm just happy Stellantis is putting back manual transmission in cars. Hope this gets one too
I really hope for the return of an Italian engine and why not the return of the multi-jet... the Italians know how to do it and it would sell!!!! Why not a diesel hybrid like Mercedes!
Is there a 4×4 version?
solche für ein weniger kaufkräftiges Publikum adressierte Autos beherrscht man bei Renault (Dacia) besser.........und da sehen sie nicht aus wie postmoderne Keksdosen......mit allem Respekt...... und ohne Überheblichkeit......außer dem Preis ist « FIAT » mit solchen Autos wohl nur noch außerhalb Europas konkurrenzfähig
Ciao , Ci sarà la produzione di veicoli passeggeri negli stabilimenti FIAT Bursa al posto di Egea (TIPO), la cui produzione in Turchia terminerà a giugno 2026? Stellantis non è molto riservato su questo problema, o è solo la produzione commerciale leggera in Turchia che viene presa in considerazione, stiamo aspettando una spiegazione da FIAT, come gli amanti di FIAT in Turchia 🙏
