The Panda Cross is not for those who want to blend into the background. On the outside its conspicuous side mouldings, 15" alloy wheels and brilliant chrome effects are perfect for letting your personality shout out. But its what is hidden inside that will really make you proud: ESP including ASM/MSR, reliable hill holder all-wheel drive and steering wheel audio controls. The powerful Aircon will also keep you feeling cool as you beam behind the wheel.

Available in a 1.3 Multijet Diesel engine with a choice of exterior and interior colours the Cross has class leading performance both on and off road and a unique and stylish look. If you are looking for a Small 4x4 that is as good off road as it is on it then look no further - Below is a roadtest report done by Auto Express in July 2010

Go-anywhere version of city car serves up a massive dose of fun, both on road and off.

Think of a rugged off roader and an expensive gas-guzzling SUV no doubt springs to mind. But our average price budget buys an extraordinary four-wheel-drive machine that blows this stereotype to pieces. Fiat's Panda Cross is brimming with character, costs peanuts to run and is as eco-friendly as a supermini.

That's not to say it isn't a proper off-roader, because the dinky Fiat is as comfortable ploughing through mud as it is parked on the high street. The familiar body sits on raised suspension, while chunky plastic cladding covers the doors, wheelarches and bumpers. The Cross also gets a unique front grille with a pair of powerful spotlights, useful roof rails and distinctive circular tail-lamps.

Climb aboard and you'll discover a cabin that's pure Panda, and this is no bad thing. Large windows mean the interior feels bright and airy, while the driving position gives a commanding, SUV-style view of the road. The dashboard is well laid out and the build quality is good.

You get a decent haul of standard kit, too, with air-conditioning, a leather steering wheel and electric windows all included. The only disappointment is the tiny 230-litre boot, although folding the 50:50 split rear bench increases carrying capacity to a handy 780 litres. Twist the key in the ignition and the Panda's 1.3-litre diesel churns into life.

With only 70bhp, the Fiat serves up acceptable rather than electrifying performance. On the plus side, the direct-injection unit is smooth and promises 54.3mpg combined economy. The Panda is great fun to drive. With its compact body and direct steering, it can be threaded down country lanes with confidence, while the snappy gearshift helps make the most of the eager engine's limited power output. Even the occasionally bouncy ride fails to dim the Italian machine's appeal.

However, to really enjoy the Panda, head for the rough stuff. The combination of four-wheel-drive transmission and mud and snow tyres allows the Fiat to effortlessly tackle rutted country tracks. An electronic differential lock for extra traction allows the Cross to scamper across rougher terrain with the agility and poise of a mountain goat!
