Fiat has confirmed that its ultra-compact electric vehicle, the Topolino, will launch in the U.S. market, with further details expected in the coming months. The announcement follows a series of appearances by the micro-EV at events including the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance and auto shows in New York and Los Angeles, where it drew consumer interest.

The European version is powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 8 horsepower and 32 lb-ft of torque. A 5.4 kWh battery delivers up to 46 miles (75 km) of range under the World Motorcycle Test Cycle. The model has a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h), making it suitable for use in neighbourhoods and urban areas.
Measuring just 2,535 mm in length with a 1,730 mm wheelbase, the Topolino is significantly smaller than the Fiat 500e, which it will sit beneath in Fiat’s U.S. lineup. The vehicle rides on 14-inch wheels and shares its platform with the Citroën Ami and Opel Rocks.

The Brittolino features a multi-colour design with each body panel styled uniquely in Britto’s signature pop-art aesthetic. The car includes a contrasting blue roof, rope-style doors, and Britto-branded wheels.
Fiat brand CEO Olivier Francois noted that the Topolino has already generated consumer interest in the U.S. and confirmed that it will be introduced stateside, with full details to follow next year.

Fiat positions the vehicle as an affordable, sustainable alternative for short-distance travel in dense urban environments.
U.S. consumers interested in the Topolino can register for updates through Fiat’s website. Pricing, specifications, and availability for the North American market are expected in 2026.
