The Italian brand has already received more than 10,000 pre-orders for the electric heavy four-wheeler, which is closely linked to the Citroen Ami and Opel Rocks electric twins.
The tiny EV is 2.53 m (99.6 inches) long and is equipped with a single 8 hp (6 kW) electric motor and a 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. It has a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) and a range of 47 miles (75 km) on a full charge. Thanks to the rules that apply to the heavy quadricycle segment, it can be ridden by teenagers as young as 14 without a driver's license.
According to Fiat's Italian website, the estimated delivery time for the Topolino is 19 weeks, with the first examples reaching buyers in January 2024. The automaker is introducing online tracking from initial order to home delivery, so owners will know the exact location of their quadricycle at all stages until then.

To simplify the ordering process, Fiat offers the Topolino in any color, as long as it's Vita Green, with a single option for retro-style wheels and a single interior. However, it will be available with a retractable soft top or a closed glass roof, and with or without doors. Other optional extras will include the Rear Carriage, the Dolcevita Box (fabric band for storing items), the chrome effect mirrors and various accessories (seat covers that double as towels, a USB fan, a Bluetooth speaker, a thermal water bottle, etc.).

The Fiat Toplino's starting price of €7,544 ($8,065) (including local government incentives) makes it slightly more expensive than the Citroen Ami, which starts at €6,930 ($7,407) in the same market. Alternatively, the model can be purchased via a down payment of €2,582 ($2,759) and 48 monthly installments of €39 ($42), which is the equivalent of a monthly local public transport pass.
Both the open and closed versions of the Fiat Topolino will be available for order in Italy, France and Germany by the end of 2023, according to Fiat.
