Fiat Panda Waze, the car with built-in GPS app that means you'll never get lost

A veteran like few others, the Fiat Panda is a model that continues to enjoy public favour despite the modesty of its offer, which does not stop Fiat from wanting to raise the level of the product now with the launch of a new special series with equipment that is clearly superior, featuring full connectivity and an image closer to that of the appealing Panda 4×4 Cross. A version with which you can drive without fear of getting lost, and whose name is a clear sign of its content: Fiat Panda Waze.

The image of one of the most widely accepted navigation systems on the market today, Waze, joins that of the Fiat Panda, a model that, despite its age, continues to record high sales figures. The new Fiat Panda Waze special edition’s main draw is the incorporation of the Waze social app into the model’s equipment.

Creating a kind of social network, Waze allows its users to be warned in real time of the various hazards they may encounter on the routes selected for our journey. The veteran Panda thus becomes the first model in the FCA Group to incorporate the WAZE app into the U-Connect on-board infotainment system, which Fiat fits to all its vehicles.

With Waze, users of this version of the Panda will receive all the information about their vehicle, its status, its geolocation, and so on, as well as real-time alerts about its condition through their smartphone screens.

Externally, the Panda Waze is distinguished from the rest of the Panda range by its aesthetics and exterior finish, which are distinct yet very close to those Fiat offers on the Panda Cross. The differentiation also comes from the exclusive colour created for this occasion: Waze Blue, created specifically for this special edition of the model.

It is also identified by the badges bearing the word Waze inserted on the front wings and its exclusive wheels, 15 inches in size and finished in black. All units of this special series are fitted with the 69 CV 1.2 engine from the FCA Group.

As for the interior, the equipment is particularly complete, especially considering what is usual on a Panda. In the Waze special series it is among the most complete, including at no extra cost items such as remote central locking, a steering wheel and gear lever knob upholstered in leather, air conditioning, 4 airbags, ESP stability control, special decorative inserts on the dashboard, titanium grey finish, Bluetooth radio, mobile device holders suitable for use, ESC with Hill Holder system, tyre pressure sensors, etc.

The Panda Waze special series, specially developed by Mopar, FCA’s brand in charge of post-sales development of its various products and services, will be marketed gradually in the different markets it is intended for, Spain among them. For the moment, Fiat has not disclosed the price at which it plans to sell the Waze in Spain.
