Frequently asked questions
Is the Honda e worth the extra £9,720 over the Fiat Grande Panda?
The Honda e costs £9,720 more than the Fiat Grande Panda. For that premium it adds a 2.0s quicker 0-62mph time. The Fiat Grande Panda is not just cheaper - it also offers 61 miles more WLTP range, 44 kW faster peak rapid charging and 190 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Fiat Grande Panda comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Fiat Grande Panda or the Honda e?
The Fiat Grande Panda is £9,720 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Fiat Grande Panda comes out roughly £9,840 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Fiat Grande Panda and Honda e like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 166 miles for the Fiat Grande Panda and 115 miles for the Honda e - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Fiat Grande Panda goes roughly 51 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 27-31 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Fiat Grande Panda or the Honda e?
The two are within 9 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 648 mm of total clearance for the Honda e and about 639 mm of total clearance for the Fiat Grande Panda. The Honda e also turns in a 2.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Fiat Grande Panda or the Honda e?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Fiat Grande Panda and 84% for the Honda e. That gives the Fiat Grande Panda a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Fiat Grande Panda's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Honda e's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
