The evergreen Fiat Panda city car has reached a new milestone as the 1,500,000th example of the model rolled off the Italian company's Poland plant in Tychy. The landmark model is a left hand drive car in magnetic blue with a 1.3 MultiJet engine that is destined for an Italian customer. The second generation Panda was introduced in 2003 winning several awards including the European Car of the Year 2004 title. Fiat said that this year a record number of 285,000 units will be produced.
The five-door mini that is also available in numerous AWD versions has been a runaway success for Fiat as it has remained the best selling A-segment car in Europe without a break since 2003.
The Panda, which formed that base for Fiat's 500 retro city car, has been exported to 74 countries including Japan, South Africa and Mexico.
