2021 FIAT Panda 4x4 off road - our first test on flint & dusty tracks in stunning Portugal

What is a FIAT Panda like off road? We have no idea!!

This is our first off road test – nothing too tricky, but possibly harder than we expected for a Wikiloc rated “easy” track.

We tried it out in our Mitsubishi L200 and it did need to be in 4x4 and one section needed low range as very steep – so how will Pete Panda do ?

Join us as we take our first tentative steps into Portugal’s stunning countryside in or 2021 FIAT Panda 4x4.

Little blurb ....

The standard Panda is a spacious, well priced and well equipped city car, it drives in a way that makes the hire driver thrash it a little harder and look to get one again! - in TwinAir form, it has an interesting, characterful and raucous two-cylinder engine.

Perhaps it’s the 'squircles', perhaps it’s just that Fiat, possibly more than any other car maker, really understands that a city car is meant to be fun. It’s not all subjective, mind. And, with this variant, the Panda can add something else to its repertoire: four-wheel drive.

There are plenty of fine city cars out there – the latest triumvirate from the Volkswagen Group among them (VW Up, Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii) – but still, there’s something about the Panda that manages to warm our hearts even in that company.

In 4x4 form it's even more engaging and, more importantly, one of the few cars of its size and class that's so equipped. Rivals are few and far between, with only the Dacia Duster, Suzuki SX4, Vauxhall Adam Rocks and Fiat 500X presenting themselves as genuine alternatives.

With just 150mm of ground clearance the Panda 4x4 isn't built for going far off road – it's not a Jeep or Land Rover, after all. Instead, it's best to think of it as a city car with muddy field-crossing capability. However, if it is more hardcore off-roading you are looking to do in a Panda, then the Cross may very well be the answer, with its raised ride heights and bumpers.

Yet this little 4x4 - can wade better than a Bentayga, on 5th Gear TV show, can out muddy track a Defender, so what's not to like?
