Retro looks, modern curb appeal

The Microlino wears its inspiration on its rounded fenders and bubble silhouette, delivering a charming, attention-grabbing presence that shrinks the street visually and practically. At just 2,519 mm long and 1,473 mm wide it slips into gaps other cars pass by, while the upright height of 1,501 mm gives it a friendly, toy-like stance. The single-door, Isetta-inspired access and minimalist face make a strong style statement without screaming about technology. Up close the finish is neat and deliberate rather than cheap, which helps it read as a thoughtful city object rather than a novelty.

Simple, sunny cockpit with no nonsense

Inside the Microlino the theme is restraint: two seats, a pared-back dash and materials chosen for durability and low weight rather than luxury. Controls are tactile and easy to read, with infotainment and connectivity kept straightforward so city navigation is the main focus. The convertible/top variants add an open-air feel that suits slow urban cruising and summer errands. Curb weights around 596–630 kg help keep everything light and responsive, but expect cabin space to be compact and purpose-driven.

Small footprint, useful everyday load

With seating for two and a boot of about 230 litres, the Microlino swallows grocery runs, a couple of backpacks or a folded scooter rather than full family luggage. The payload figures in the 120–154 kg range underline that this is a lightweight runabout — two adults and a bit of shopping, not a moving van. The short length and narrow width make parking and threading through traffic trivial in congested urban environments. Practicality is honest: excellent for solo commuters and small errands, limited for anything larger than day-to-day city life.

City-slick handling with modest pace

Rear-wheel drive, a reduction gearbox and low mass produce a nimble, playful feel around town with steering that rewards confidence at low speeds. Power outputs are tiny by car standards — roughly 6–12 kW (marketed as 8–17 hp) with 89 Nm of torque — so acceleration is brisk enough for junction pulls but never sporty. Top speed choices of 45 km/h or 90 km/h define the Microlino’s role: safe and legal in low-speed urban zones, and capable of short suburban hops where the higher-speed option is fitted. The overall package favors smooth, relaxed driving rather than motorway runs or rapid overtakes.

Choose your slice of range — tiny batteries, sensible reach

Micro offers multiple battery and power variants, from very small packs aimed at short city trips to larger cells delivering the longest urban range; headline figures go up to about 228 km in the most efficient configuration. In everyday use the smaller 90–100 km variants suit commuters with short daily runs and easy access to charging, while the larger 177–200+ km figures give headroom for several days of mixed city driving before recharge. Consumption is low simply because the vehicle is light and slow, and CO2 is naturally 0 g/km. Charging speed depends on the pack and charger but the concept is optimised for short top-ups and overnight replenishment rather than rapid long-distance refuelling.

Basic assistance, friendly tech

Technology is functional rather than flashy: expect a compact infotainment screen with smartphone integration and the necessary trip and charging information, plus straightforward driver aids tuned to low-speed urban use. Safety and assistance features are sufficient for city driving, though the Microlino does not compete with larger modern cars on advanced active safety kit or speeds. The layout keeps distractions down and visibility high, which matters far more in town than lane-keep assist on a motorway. Options and trims may add conveniences, but the core idea is simplicity and ease of use.

Who should seriously consider one?

The Microlino suits urban dwellers, second-car buyers and anyone who wants the convenience of a car without parking hassles or high running costs — think commuters, retirees and short-trip specialists. Its compact size, low consumption and available low-speed legal variants make it particularly attractive where speed limits are low and parking space is premium. Buy the smaller battery if daily hauls are around town; choose the larger pack for longer errands or to reduce charging frequency. For those needing a lightweight, characterful city conveyance rather than a long-distance family car, the Microlino is an efficient, stylish proposition.
