10/7/2005 -- Today, the Fiat Panda passed the milestone of 500,000 units manufactured. Two years after its market launch, the Fiat Panda passed this ambitious milestone with a car that was ordered in Italy, with the Emotion outfit, a 1.3 multijet engine and sparkling light blue paintwork. The Panda is built in the Polish plant of Tychy, and destined primarily to the European markets, but it is also sold in countries like Malaysia, Taiwan and Martinique, and there are also 1,831 Pandas on the streets of Japan.
And it was a Japanese customer who ordered Fiat Panda no. 499,999, a Climbing 4x4, with Titian Red paintwork, while no. 500,001 remained in Poland, a Panda Active with yellow bodywork.

The Panda is the second best selling car in Italy, behind the Fiat Punto. Since it was launched, it has climbed rapidly up segment A, reaching first place in the Italian and European top ten.

This commercial success has been confirmed by 18 prizes awarded by the international trade press, including the prestigious “Car of the Year 2004” title.
