Fiat has unveiled the Topolini EV, a compact electric vehicle that looks like a rebadged Citroen Ami which recently got a limited rugged version. The Topolini EV is a smaller model than the current Fiat 500 series. It has a retractable roof made of brown cloth, a redesigned front end, and cream leather seats.
The Topolini has the same drivetrain as the Citroen Ami. This is not far-fetched as both Fiat and Citroen are under the Stellantis brand. The Fiat Topolini has open sides and its 5.5kWh battery pushes the EV to a range of 47 miles (~76km). The Topolini has a top speed of 28mph (~45km/h). The interior of the Fiat Topolini has not been provided. It may likely be similar to the Ami’s interior in which a charging port and a phone holder are present. The Topolini is technically a Quadricycle and does not need any licensing restriction to drive it in the city.
The design goal of the Topolini, according to Fiat, is to make young people fall in love with cars again. The Topolini is also built to promote sustainability while sustaining joy, optimism, and fun. Fiat says the new EV fits into the brand’s democratic mission of providing urban sustainable mobility solutions accessible to a wide segment of the population. Fiat’s ambitions are part of the larger Stellantis brand. Stellantis targets 100% of passenger car sales of BEVs by2030.
Fiat is silent on the pricing of the Topolini but the Citroen Ami is available on lease in parts of Europe for €25 (~$27) monthly payment and a down payment of €3,850 (~$4,123). The price of the Fiat Topolini is expected to be as close as possible to that of the Citroen Ami.
