Fiat is planning a family expansion, with a new Grizzly SUV, a bigger version of the tiny Topolino and what sounds very much like a new baby Panda-style electric car all on the way.Speaking at Stellantis’ Investor Day, Fiat CEO Olivier François set out a future line-up intended to give the Italian brand more cars at both ends of its range, while sticking to its traditional focus on small, affordable models.“Europe is not one market. It’s many markets, different driving cultures, different needs, different realities,” said François. “So, it’s complicated maybe, but that’s exactly our edge, our advantage.”His argument is that Fiat does not need to follow one formula across every country. “One size fits all does not win in Europe,” he said. “The winning formula is a handful of distinct brands with the right synergies underneath.”The new Fiat Grizzly will come in two body styles for different regions (Fiat)At the larger end of the Fiat family will be the new Grizzly, a bigger sibling to the Panda and Grande Panda. François showed two shadowy silhouettes of the newcomer, which is expected to appear in a practical SUV shape and a sleeker, more swept-back version.“The new Fiat Grizzly. And you see two silhouettes. Why? Because again, it’s designed for three regions of the world,” he said.“It completes the Panda and Grande Panda family. Same DNA, still built on Smart Car, but it’s a big animal.”That means the Grizzly will share its basic underpinnings with the Grande Panda and other affordable Stellantis models. Full details – including engines, electric range, prices and a UK launch date – have not yet been announced, but the new car is expected to be revealed in full at the Paris motor show later this year.For Fiat, the Grizzly is intended to do more than simply add a larger model to the line-up. François said: “It will not just elevate the market share, it will elevate everything. The mix, the revenue, the margins, the brand.”But the bigger bear is only part of the plan. François said Fiat would remain “big and small, committed to urban mobility”, with more compact models joining the current Topolino, 500, Pandina and Grande Panda.The Grande Panda is the first car that Fiat will use to measure smiles per hour (Fiat)The tiny Topolino, based on the Citroen Ami, which François described as “a tremendous success so far”, will gain a larger sister model with two doors and four seats. Fiat is also preparing a new three-wheeler commercial delivery vehicle which, in François’ words, will be in a “typically Italian spirit”.Most intriguing of all is a new small electric Fiat, teased in sketch form during the presentation. François said the images were created with Fiat designers and students as they explored ideas for the future of city transport.“Trust me, the final design, the real design is stunning,” he said. “It’s not a revival of an icon. It’s literally the next icon.”That is a bold promise from the company behind the original Fiat 500 and Panda, but François made clear that the brand’s next generation will not be limited to looking backwards.“Bottom line, five all-new cars, three mobility devices,” he said. And with the Grizzly at one end and a new small electric Fiat at the other, Fiat showrooms are about to become much busier places.
