Fiat will try to appeal to Gen Z with the new, teeny tiny Topolino EV that is offered as an alternative to a scooter for drivers as young as 14. With adorable design, cool add-ons, and optional doors, the microcar is set to make you say “aww!” The new vehicle is based on the same platform as the Citroën Ami and is thus considered a quadricycle. That means that it is designed as an alternative to a scooter for drivers who just need to get around town, and not a fully fledged car.

With just two seats, two (optional) doors, and a full length of 2.53 meters, the Topolino is not an EV designed to beat supercars. Indeed, its top speed is limited to just 45 km/h, but its charms lay elsewhere. Since it is so small, it can’t fit much of a battery, and has just 5.4 kWh to offer customers. That’s good for a driving range of 75 km and a charging time of four hours. Fiat claims that this is enough to get you downtown, or to your local beach.

 

That was a particular focus for the Topolino, whose name was inspired by the nickname given to the original Fiat 500, and whose design is indebted to the 500 Jolly. Drivers who live in warmer climes can opt for the model that comes with braided ropes instead of doors, in addition to the standard rollable fabric roof that make it the perfect summertime runabout. Although the options will be limited (the Topolino is offered exclusively in the Verde Vita paint shade you see here), they will be surprising. To match the summer vibes of the doorless model, appropriately named the Topolino Dolcevita, Fiat will also sell buyers an optional shower to help them wash off the salty seawater after their day at the beach.

In addition, dealers will offer customers a matching bag to store their things that can be affixed to the standard rear rack. A USB fan, a Bluetooth speaker, a thermal water bottle, and two seat covers that can be used as towels after your shower will also be available. Although colors are limited to one, buyers of the doorless car can also get a sticker package that adds white stripes to their vehicle. Meanwhile, those who opt for doors can add faux wood paneling with their stickers. The closed version also comes with a sunshade to keep drivers cool.

The model is expected to start being delivered in Italy by the end of 2023, but prices have not yet been revealed. However, Fiat says that it will be priced to match the monthly cost of public transit.
