Fiat Topolino

Saturday, Jul 04, 2026 12:00 AM

Tiny two-seat EV finally lands in the UK. Can Italian charm overcome its limitations? Fiat boss Oliver François insists the Italian firm “didn’t invent micromobility” – he credits the Romans who laid out the city’s tight, narrow streets with no heed that some 3000 years later big, hefty SUVs would become all the rage – but claims that “we did invent how to make it accessible”.Alec Issignois would have had something to say about that, but certainly Fiat’s small car heritage through multiple generations of 500 and Panda and numerous other innovative machines that offered more space from less footprint gives some credence to his argument. It’s also a fitting argument because Fiat didn’t really invent this Topolino: Citroën did. Be honest, you can’t fail to spot that this is an Ami quadricycle that’s been given a mild makeover after quaffing a few Aperol Spritzes to imbue it with the joys of la dolce vita. Does that make it more accessible – and, crucially, a better buy? Well, now is the time to find out because, while the Topolino has been on sale since 2023, it’s only just gone on sale in the UK, priced from £8995.
