Fiat Brings $13,995 Topolino Micro‑EV to the U.S.

Stellantis is staging a limited, dealer‑allocated launch of the tiny electric runabout and will supply a free kit to convert it into a federally defined low‑speed vehicle for limited street use.

Overview

  • Fiat opened U.S. orders on Wednesday, July 8, for the Topolino with a $13,995 base price and a $990 destination fee that brings delivered cost to about $14,985.
  • The Topolino is an ultra‑compact two‑seat electric runabout under 8½ feet long that uses a 5.4‑kWh battery for about 46 miles of range and an 8‑horsepower motor.
  • Off the factory line the vehicle is limited to 19 mph and confined to private property but Fiat says it will provide a complimentary conversion kit by late summer or fall 2026 that raises top speed to 25 mph and qualifies it as a federal Low‑Speed Vehicle for use on roads posted up to 35 mph where local laws allow.
  • Stellantis is positioning the Topolino as a micromobility product for resorts, gated communities, campuses and short errands rather than as a primary commuter car, and initial U.S. availability will be small and handled through select dealers with reservation deposits.
  • The Topolino is essentially the Fiat‑badged version of the European Citroën Ami built in Morocco and its U.S. arrival underscores growing industry interest in lower‑cost, low‑speed electric mobility even as most Americans still rely on full‑size cars for daily commutes.
