Fiat is to debut a 4x4 version of its new Panda at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.
The third generation of the city car since it was launched 30 years ago, the 4x4 will operate in FWD most of the time, with all-wheel-drive kicking in as conditions require.
The car will also have an electronic locking differential as standard to improve traction on snow, ice and mud.
Power will be from the 85hp TwinAir Turbo or the 75hp 1.3 Multijet diesel.
