Wednesday, July 8

Fiat has officially opened UK orders for its fully electric Topolino quadricycle, bringing the compact urban vehicle to British customers for the first time with prices starting from £8,995 on-the-road.

The two-seat electric vehicle was first introduced in mainland Europe in 2023 and forms a central part of Fiat’s strategy to expand its micromobility offering.

Compact EV Designed for Urban Travel

The UK version of the Topolino largely mirrors the model already available in other European markets.

One notable difference is the inclusion of a Type 2 charging adapter, allowing the vehicle to connect to compatible UK public charging points that do not feature tethered charging cables. The vehicle also retains its standard European charging plug but does not support DC fast charging.

The Topolino is equipped with a 6kW electric motor and a 5.5kWh battery, delivering a top speed of 28mph (45km/h) and a WLTP driving range of up to 46 miles (75km).

Its performance specifications position the vehicle primarily for short urban journeys and local transportation rather than longer-distance travel.

Part of Fiat’s Micromobility Strategy

The UK launch follows Fiat’s recent micromobility strategy event in Rome, where the company outlined plans to expand the Topolino lineup with additional variants while continuing development of its Tris platform.

Kris Cholmondeley, Managing Director of Fiat UK, said the Topolino plays an important role in the brand’s approach to sustainable urban transportation.

“Topolino is an important part of FIAT’s sustainable micromobility strategy, delivering simple, accessible urban mobility. It offers a practical solution for short journeys, leisure use and city environments, while fully embracing FIAT’s values of joy, simplicity and fun.”

Fiat said customer orders are now being accepted through a selected network of UK retailers.
