The new version combines the acclaimed 1.3 16v MultiJet turbodiesel engine (also used in some GM Europe models) with the standard Panda 4×4’s permanent four-wheel drive system and a major restyle.
New round light units front and rear, larger side protection strips in contrasting colours, roof-bars, 15-inch alloy wheels and new bumpers all give a ‘mini-off-roader’ look and there is also new two-tone interior trim.
The four-wheel drive system has a viscous coupling and electronic differential lock.
Standard equipment includes ESP, air conditioning, steering wheel audio controls and electric power steering. One new colour is available, Rain Dance Green, which joins the existing Goa Orange, Cumbia Beige and Crossover Black.
