Fiat Panda 4x4 — MPG & Fuel Costs 2025
A compact, lightweight city car with genuine off-road capability. Highly popular in rural areas.
The Fiat Panda 4x4 is a unique automotive proposition, combining the tiny dimensions of a city car with raised suspension and an automatic four-wheel-drive system.
It uses either the compact TwinAir two-cylinder petrol engine or the robust 1.3 MultiJet diesel. Its low weight ensures it remains highly fuel-efficient.
Real-world economy is respectable, with the MultiJet diesel returning 50-52 MPG in normal use, though the elevated ride height makes it less efficient at motorway speeds.
