Fiat Grande Panda 4x4 concept pays homage to an 80s classic
Just a few days after the Renault 4 Savane 4×4 concept was unveiled, and Fiat is hopping on the retro-flavoured economy car slash crossover bandwagon with the Grande Panda 4×4 concept. According to Fiat, the Grande Panda 4×4 concept drives all four wheels thanks to an "electrified innovative rear axle", but there's no mention of what's powering the front wheels. The regular front-wheel drive versions of the Grande Panda that are currently on sale throughout Europe can be equipped with either a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine, or a fully electric drivetrain. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Fiat says the 4×4 concept is a "direct heir of the Panda 4×4 from the 80s" with the show car's dark red paint a homage to the colour used on a popular limited edition version of the original Panda 4×4. Other changes include steel wheels with knobbly off-road tyres, and pixel LED spotlights at the front and on the roof rack. The latter can hold important gear, such as the included full-size spare wheel. There's no word on whether the concept has upgraded suspension or underbody protection. The original Panda 4×4 was launched in 1983, had a small 36kW 965cc engine, a live rear axle, and a five-speed manual transmission with an ultra-low first gear. The four-wheel drive system could be engaged on-the-move by the driver. That car's go-anywhere abilities were lauded and it was a hit, with apparently many being sold to farmers, mining operators and others who worked in the countryside. Subsequent generations of the Panda have also spawned 4×4 variants, so although there's no official word yet on whether the Grande Panda 4×4 concept will be make it into production, it seems like a pretty good bet. For now, the company simply says it is "Fiat's potential next four-wheel drive".

Renault 4 concept hints at new AWD variant
The Renault 4 Savane 4×4 concept will make its in-the-flesh debut at the French Open tennis tournament that starts this week. To give the 4 the dash of off-road ability that its styling suggests it has, the Savane 4×4 concept has an all-wheel drive layout thanks to an electric motor on the rear axle. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. While the styling of the 4 E-Tech hints at some measure of off-road capability, it like the closely 5 E-Tech is available only with a single-motor front-wheel drive setup. We're, of course, ignoring the heavily modified, limited edition 5 Turbo 3E which will retail for €155,000 (A$270,000) in Europe. Renault hasn't provided any power or torque outputs. Nor do we know the size of the battery or how far it can travel on a single charge. The Savane rides 15mm higher, bringing ground clearance up to 200mm. The concept rides on 225/55 Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ tyres wrapped around a unique 18-inch alloy wheel design. Renault has also pumped up the front and rear track by 20mm. Adorned in a new shade of green, dubbed Jade Green, the Savane also features gloss black paint on the bumpers and wheel arch protectors. There's also 3D printed shock absorbing stops attached to the front and rear bumpers, while the sliding fabric roof features a pixel-effect camouflage. On the inside a deep brown refined textile fabric is used for the dashboard and seat upholstery. The seat backrests also have a houndstooth pattern and an array of the number of four quilted into the top section. It's unknown if Renault intends to the put the 4 Savane 4×4 into production, but it doesn't seem like much of a stretch. Local availability of the 4 has yet to be confirmed, but Renault Australia is interested in the vehicle. Prices in Europe start from €30,000 (A$52,000) for the base model, which has a 90kW/225Nm motor driving the front wheels. It's paired with a 40kWh battery coupled that's good for a WLTP range rating of 300km. More expensive variants have 110kW/245Nm and 52kWh Nickel Manganese Cobalt battery that has a claimed 400km WLTP range.

Renault 4 Savane is a new electric mud-plugging concept
The interior features seats in Deep brown refined fabric, a quilted pattern of number 4s in tonal hues on the backrests with a houndstooth pattern. The dashboard is also clad in Deep brown textile and a backlit 4Savane logo. 'True to the spirit of exploration of the Renault 4 Savane from the 1960s, the Renault 4 Savane 4x4 Concept show car pushes the adventurous side of the Renault 4 E-Tech electric to the maximum. It adds a chic spirit worthy of 'gentlemen explorers' eager for limitless journeys,' said chief designer Sandeep Bhambra.
