The Fiat Topolino Hatchback impresses with 8 HP 75 km and an attractive starting price of 8500 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The Topolino is a microcity hatchback that wears its compactness proudly, with retro-inspired headlights and toy-like proportions that make it impossible to ignore on narrow streets. At just 2,535 mm long and 1,400 mm wide it shrinks into parking spaces that defeat conventional cars, while 1,530 mm height gives it a tall, upright stance. The styling leans cute rather than sporty, which suits buyers looking for personality over presence.
Inside, the Topolino keeps things deliberately simple: a two-seat cabin with honest plastics, neat stitching, and packaging focused on visibility and easy entry rather than luxury. Controls are straightforward and the dashboard layout prioritizes practicality, while small pockets and cubbies make everyday items reachable. With just two seats and a modest 63 L trunk, the interior is about short trips and light loads rather than long-haul comfort.
Practicality is constrained but clear: the tiny boot and a payload of 138 kg mean this is for shopping runs, a commuter with a briefcase, or quick errands rather than family holidays. The compact exterior dimensions make city chores and kerbside parking effortless, but two seats and a small cargo area limit versatility. Curb weight of 562 kg helps efficiency but also signals there is no room for heavy loads or multiple passengers.
Drive feel is tailored to low-speed urban use: the 8 hp (6 kW) motor with 44 Nm of torque and a top speed capped at 45 km/h delivers gentle acceleration suited to traffic lights and pedestrianised zones. The automatic reduction gearbox keeps inputs effortless and the light steering and short wheelbase make manoeuvring in tight streets intuitive. On faster roads the Topolino feels out of its depth, but in town it rewards confidence with predictable, easy handling.
Energy is stored in a compact 5.4 kWh battery that yields an official range of around 75 km, which works out to roughly 7.2 kWh/100 km in real terms — ideal for single-day urban use. This range covers daily commutes, errands and a few short trips without frequent charging, but it is not designed for longer excursions or motorway stretches. Zero tailpipe emissions and a CO2 figure of 0 g/km make the Topolino attractive in low-emission zones and short-range car schemes.
Technology and safety are pragmatic rather than lavish: expect a compact instrument display, essential driver aids and basic connectivity aimed at smartphone pairing rather than an infotainment theatre. Advanced ADAS is unlikely given the car's light weight and urban remit, so buyers should plan around simple collision mitigation and parking-friendly features instead of highway assistance. The Dolcevita trim may add lifestyle flourishes, but the hardware package stays true to the Topolino’s budget-friendly, city-first philosophy.
The Topolino suits city dwellers who need the smallest possible car to nip around town, second-car buyers who want tiny running costs, and shared mobility fleets focused on short trips. Current lineup includes both the standard Topolino and a Dolcevita variant, each offered as an electric automatic front-wheel-drive with 8 HP and a 75 km range, so buyers can choose between plain practicality and a more characterful trim. Anyone needing higher speed, more seats or significant cargo space should look elsewhere, but for urban minimalists the Topolino is refreshingly honest and economical.
