The Panda Belgrade loves
The Fiat Panda is one of the best-known small cars in Europe. Its second generation was named European Car of the Year in 2004, and the Panda is still one of the most important models from the Turin-based manufacturer. Hybrid Pandas joined our fleet in 2022 and have since been among the cars our customers most often choose for the city.
The reason is simple: the Panda is small outside and surprisingly roomy inside. The cabin is tall with good visibility, it is easy to drive, and parking in the narrow streets of Dorćol, Vračar or Zemun is no problem. That is why it is also popular with less experienced drivers and visitors who are not used to Belgrade traffic.
How the hybrid works
The Panda Hybrid has a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine assisted by a small electric motor. Total output is 70 hp, which is plenty for a car of this size. The electric motor helps when pulling away and accelerating, so the petrol engine uses less fuel, especially in stop-and-go city driving.
It is a so-called mild hybrid: it is not plugged in and does not drive on electric power alone. For the driver, it drives just like any other petrol car, with no special rules, only with lower fuel use.
Gearbox and fuel consumption
The Panda Hybrid has a six-speed manual gearbox. Sixth gear is useful on the open road, where the engine is quieter and uses less fuel. Based on our customers' experience, city consumption usually stays below 6 litres per 100 km, and it is lower on the open road. Actual consumption always depends on driving style, load and traffic.

Space and luggage
The Panda is about 3.7 metres long, but it is one of the taller cars in its class, so even tall passengers have enough headroom. The boot holds about 225 litres and has a regular shape, so a larger suitcase or a few weekend bags fit easily. The rear seats fold down when you need more space.
Who the Panda Hybrid suits
- Driving around Belgrade and short trips out of town.
- Drivers who want low fuel costs.
- Anyone who needs a car that is easy to park.
- One or two people with luggage, or a small family on a short trip.
For a longer trip with more luggage, we recommend a larger model such as the Opel Astra or Citroën C3 Aircross.
