The new Fiat Topolino – comprehensive first introduction
Fiat Topolino, a ‘moped’
Officially, of course, the Fiat Topolino is a “moped,” but there is no question of “humming. In fact, it is an all-electric two-seater, exactly like the Opel and Citroën. Because the vehicle reaches only 45 mph, people as young as 16 are allowed to drive the Topolino. According to Fiat, the Topolino is a cheerful and cool new electric car for everyone. Well, car. Rather, call it a “city car,” or light electric vehicle.
Honors
“The Topolino is a tribute to Fiat’s history and the brand’s ability to innovate in a cool and congenial way. Moreover, the Topolino is the ideal mobility solution for in town and short distances. Thanks to its electric powertrain, environmental zones are no longer any obstacle,” the manufacturer said in a statement.
Little mouse
The Fiat Topolino is the 500’s little sister. It takes its name and design from the original 500 of yore, affectionately called “Topolino” for its small size. Topolino literally means “little mouse. Topolino is also the Italian name of Mickey Mouse. The Fiat Topolino has design features of the classic Fiat 500. The design excels at simplicity.
Available in one color: Verde Vita
The design of this cheerful electric Italian can be further personalized thanks to various accessories. Consider a small shower, should you drive a Topolino toward the beach. The lineup consists of closed and open versions. Both variants are available in one color: Verde Vita. They also have one wheel design and one composition for the interior. In the open version, the model has no doors, but strings. Hearty fun, of course, but in the rain or in winter it can be quite cold.
The Fiat Topolino has a length of 2.41 meters and a battery with a usable capacity of 4 kWh, good for a range of 75 kilometers. Top speed comes out to 45 km/h.

Fiat Topolino also for the Netherlands?
When the Dutch market introduction will follow is not yet exactly clear. Internal discussions are still taking place as to whether the Topolino should come to the Netherlands. Well Fiat, then we’ll cut the knot for you. You
MUST
bring the Fiat Topolino to the Netherlands. After all, he’s too cute to pass up. So we cannot yet give a Dutch price. Let’s hope that Fiat – should it come to the Netherlands – markets the Topolino sharply. An Opel Rocks Electric starts at 8,500 euros.
