First Limited Edition for the New Panda



The third-generation "Panda," introduced to Japan last June, now features its first limited edition, the "Panda Gianduia." It is based on the "Panda Easy," equipped with the 0.9-liter two-cylinder turbo engine familiar from the "500" TwinAir.


Named "Gianduia," meaning "hazelnut cream," this limited edition model released for Valentine's Day adopts a cozy brown body color reminiscent of chocolate. Ivory accents adorn the roof rails, side mirror covers, and center hub caps. Priced at 2.1 million yen, it will be sold in a limited run of 100 units.


The two "500" models feature a new-age cream body color, evoking "Panna," meaning fresh cream. The "500 Panna" is based on the "500 TwinAir Lounge," and is equipped with brown Frau leather seats and an electric sunroof, priced at 2.55 million yen, lower than the base model. A limited 100 units will be available.


The convertible "500C Panna" is also priced at 2.6 million yen (including 5% consumption tax), lower than its base model, the "500C TwinAir Lounge," and comes equipped with a beige soft top and 15-inch alloy wheels. It will be sold in a limited edition of 50 units.
