FIAT Panda 1991–1996 car dimensions: 3435 mm long, 1500 mm wide and 1485 mm high. Unladen weight is 800 kg. Braked towing is 850 kg.
The cabin is simple and spartan with basic heater controls and cloth seats. A radio with cassette player is available. No power steering on most examples. Driver aids are limited to basic equipment with no advanced electronic systems.
Boot space measures 270 litres with seats in place. Folding the rear bench expands capacity to 630 litres to the window line or 900 litres to the roof.
Payload reaches 420 kg. Braked towing capacity is 850 kg and unbraked is 385 kg. The 4x4 system with selectable drive and higher ground clearance suits light off-road and utility tasks.
The cabin is basic and utilitarian with fabric-covered seats that feel reasonably supportive for short trips. Manual window cranks and simple heater-only climate controls are standard, with air conditioning unavailable. Rear seats fold flat for practical cargo space, and the overall design focuses on function with durable materials and limited storage options like a dashboard shelf.

The 1.0 or 1.1-litre petrol engines deliver combined fuel use of 6.9-7.9 l/100 km depending on the exact version, with a 30-litre tank providing adequate range for city and light off-road use.
Servicing is straightforward thanks to the simple mechanical layout. Oil and filter changes are recommended every 15,000 km or annually, with other fluids and filters checked at similar intervals for reliable operation.
Safety equipment is limited to standard seat belts, including a rear centre lap belt, plus front disc and rear drum brakes. The 1991 facelift added a reinforced body structure for better crash protection, but no airbags or ABS were fitted as standard.
The car is easy to keep on the road with its lightweight design and accessible parts. Focus on regular oil changes, brake inspections, and underbody protection to handle rust in older examples, especially if used off-road.
