New FIAT Topolino: electrifying urban mobility with a unique taste of Dolce Vita

  • New FIAT Topolino: the easiest way to enrich urban mobility with Dolce Vita, joy, and colour
  • The New Topolino has all the basics for sustainable freedom in the city: reduced carbon footprint, reduced space footprint, reduced sound footprint
  • A new vehicle for everyone to enjoy electric mobility
  • The line-up consists of two bodies: the “closed” Topolino and the “open” Topolino Dolce Vita, with one colour, one wheel design, one interior, plus exciting customisation options   
  • Topolino set to go on sale in the UK from 2024

 

FIAT continues its mission to develop sustainable mobility for cities and turn them into relaxing playgrounds where driving becomes an easy and sustainable experience accessible to all. Such an objective becomes a reality thanks to the new FIAT Topolino, a joyful and cool new electric car for everyone.

 

Topolino is an ideal solution for urban and short-range mobility, able to access anywhere thanks to its electric nature. A homage to the brand’s history and its ability to innovate with likability and coolness, it perfectly embodies the New Dolce Vita style and pure Italian beauty.

 

With truly unique accessories – such as the little shower, which makes it the perfect beach essential -, a fresh design, and the ability to drive it from age 16 (subject to licence conditions) and up, the New FIAT Topolino also embraces a new target audience.

 

In addition, it perfectly embodies FIAT’s commitment to sustainability: thanks to its electric nature, it provides reduced carbon footprint and reduced sound footprint, respecting the sustainability of urban centers. It’s extremely small size does not impact traffic, on the contrary, it makes the Topolino the perfect urban mobility device. 

Topolino, the FIAT way

FIAT’s mission is to continue to offer revolutionary urban mobility objects, but, in today’s scenario, with a twist, a different, fresher narrative. With the Topolino, the brand contributes greatly to urban sustainable mobility, making a significant step towards complete electrification. Fiat Topolino will make young people fall in love with “car” again, fascinating Gen Z, a young audience which greatly values sustainability topics with a strong desire for an environmentally friendly driving and transport solution.

 

Topolino also represents the four-wheeled dream of Riviera enthusiasts, being the perfect vehicle to experience the Italian summer on the narrow roads of the Italian beautiful coastline. An extraordinary duality: ideal for both small seaside villages and the chaotic city centre.

 

Italian beauty and freedom in its simplicity

The FIAT Topolino is the 500’s little sister, taking its name and design from the original 500, affectionately called ‘Topolino’ because of its small size, enlarging the family and consolidating the leadership in urban sustainable mobility. Its style, like that of its predecessor, is driven by a powerful simplicity: a design that revolves around ‘less is more’ and that heals simplicity as the best companion to its beauty.

 

Freedom is the key word: share it with your loved ones, drive it everywhere and in any weather conditions and then, park it wherever you want. Compared to a scooter, it represents an infinite range of possibilities. It can be driven despite unfavorable weather conditions, it is safer in its construction, and it allows you to share your journeys with friends or family.

 

The line-up consists of two different bodies, one “closed” and one “open”, both consistent in their structural characteristics: one color, Verde Vita, one wheel design and one aesthetic approach for the interior.

 

Thanks to its extremely small size compared to a normal car (2.53 meters in length), its ease of handling and a safe top speed of 28mph, Topolino reignites the desire to travel the roads stress-free. Versatile, the two models feature great electric capability thanks to a 5.5 kWh battery that offers up to 47 miles of range and a less than four-hour time for a full charge. More than what you need for your seaside days or daily rush in the city centers.

 

Small dimensions, with impressive space habitability, thanks to the two misaligned seats, the extensive glass surface considerably expands the perception of space. Thanks to strategic storage spaces, such as the one between the driver and passenger where one suitcase can be placed, a total of 63 liters of interior storage space is available.

 

Dolce Vita personalization

Delicate personalization can be added to the Fiat Topolino to emphasize its summery, Riviera character even more: it will, in fact, be possible to add a shower designed for those days spent on the beach along the Italian coast.

 

The “closed” version can be customized with wooden effect stickers on the doors, while in the “open” version, stickers – with stripes as a summer tent – can be added to the roof giving an extra touch of Dolce Vita. Both versions are equipped with vintage chrome effect mirrors and Rear Carriage Dolce Vita Box, which is an elegant and functional band of fabric inside which personal items can be stored. What differentiates them is the addition of both the Dolcevita Door Sills and Door Rope in the “open” version, and the Roof Sunblind in the closed version.

 

Moreover, optional accessories will be found on the FIAT Accessories webpage or at FIAT dealerships to satisfy all customers’ needs. Here, five different items will be available, which are perfectly in line with the Topolino style: a spacious rack bag, a USB fan, a Bluetooth speaker, a thermal water bottle for both hot and cold drinks, and two seat covers that convert into comfortable and soft beach towels when required. All of them, obviously, realized in Verde Vita.

 

Topolino is planned to arrive in the UK in 2024.
