Finally got an update from Fiat. Car is scheduled to be built in a couple of weeks and should take 8 to 10 weeks, although this is subject to change. So looking like July for me
General The FIAT Panda 4x4 will be available to order again in 2023.

Just spotted that the newest Fiat UK price list has been uploaded the the Fiat website. Dated April 2023 this replaces the previous one from January. Once again, there is no mention of the 4x4 Panda being offered new... see pages 34 onwards, here: Price List
However, a 'while stocks last' section on page 66 does show the 4x4 'Wild' and Cross 4x4, with TwinAir 85hp engines – the last the last, maybe...

I've been cheeky and emailed them to see if there's a possibility of getting my colour changed from Minimal Grey to Foresta Green. Probably unlikely but if you don't ask you don't get

Rumor has it that FIAT is working on a Panda refresh, with some big changes.
The dashboard Clock cluster wil be replaced by a LCD LED display, and also a upgraded multimedia display.
Engine wise there is a rumor about the Peugeot 1.2 PureTech 100 engine will be available in the Panda.

Thats awful news, its a wet belt design and very very unreliable.

Apparently "Stellantis" will go the Peugeot engine route within stellantis, every future ICE engine Stellantis car wil get Peugeot engines.
I don't think the FIAT Firefly engines have a long future ahead.

I think the Panda will run his corse with the cheapest engine within Stellantis.
The rumor has it that Stellantis will reduce their engine portfolio, as quick as possible, to cut cost, big time.
Even the new FIAT 600 wil be a re-body Peugeot, with some FIAT styling, although they say the electric version is a sibling of the Jeep Avenger.

Italian press have been reporting since last year that the 600 will share the avenger platform…they are still reporting that the panda will be a new small (but wide) platform…I doubt they would ditch proven engines for known issue engines, (so that would probably ditching engines from the full stellantis portfolio), in vastly rationalised markets it would be economic suicide
Not sure if this website is still up to date, but if it is, teh Fiat Professional range (ie the vans business) still lists a 4x4 version of the Panda being available https://www.fiatprofessional.com/panda-van/engines

Interesting. I'm just happy I'll have a Twinair and not a Firefly or Peugeot engine.
My dealer got back to me and said they aren't allowed to change the colour, was worth asking. I'm happy with minimal grey anyway, although if available I would have ordered an orange one

Baffling that they would discontinue the two best colours for the 4x4—that orange and the great dark green—in favour of a dismal selection of greys and little else.
Alternative view would be...change the belt as specified every 6 years or 60k, and service with the correct oil regularly then it's got far fewer issues than any of the other equivalent VW, Renault, Ford or Fiat engines.
That and by the time the new chassis/cars are designed and in play the revised version of the Puretech with a timing chain will be in use.

My new Panda Cross 4x4 has been on order 13 months, but is landing any day now, I've even had the new logbook arrive in the post. My dealer said these are the last run out models of the 4x4 TwinAir in the UK.

That's great news. Hopefully mine is on the production line as we speak

I still believe there will not be any new 4x4 Panda's, i think FIAT has just restart production of all the 4x4 Panda's that are not yet finished production from before they stoped production.
TwinAir engine production has stopped, but is think they still can produce low volume engine parts for it, to finish all the non finished TwinAir 4x4 Panda's .
TwinAir engine production has stopped, but is think they still can produce low volume engine parts for it, to finish all the non finished TwinAir 4x4 Panda's .

A few there a while too, probably not sold due to price. I wouldn't have paid £20k for one, even £17k was hard to swallow knowing the year before that they were around £14 to £15k for a a Cross
yes, I suspect the dealers will be thrilled that people who signed up and ordered cars at £17k are cancelling, so that they can sell them at £20k+

That's sort of what my dealer told me. I've paid 17K for mine when it lands, but got the suspicion my dealer was hoping I would cancel. They have a cancelled one for sale at over 20K
