It’s access all areas for Panda

THE Fiat revival continues apace with the launch of the interesting Panda Cross, which the Italians claim is unique in the increasingly competitive SUV segment.

The launch of the Panda Cross fell through the cracks over the holiday period, but Fiat is confident that this new, €22,475 4WD contender will still make an immediate mark on the Irish market.

In 2006, SUVs accounted for 7% of the car market in Europe, but they now account for 20%.
