The Fiat Panda supermini now comes with a more powerful, more economical petrol engine.

A 69bhp 1.2 unit replaces the current 1.1-litre engine. Average fuel economy is 1.1mpg better at 57.6mpg, while CO2 emissions fall from 119g/km in the 1.1-litre to 113g/km.

Despite the economy gains, the Panda 1.2 is significantly faster and has a higher top speed.

Prices increase slightly – at £8445, the entry-level 1.2 Active will cost £485 more than the 1.1, although Fiat has a deal available at the moment, where the entry-level car costs just £6645, making it one of the cheapest new cars on sale.

The 1.2 Mylife, which comes with alloy wheels and remote central locking, costs £9255 (introductory offer at £7245), while the 1.2 Dynamic is £9865.
