Fiat Opens UK Orders for £8,995 Topolino as It Unveils Four‑Seat Multiplina Concept

Fiat is pushing low-speed urban EVs into public and private fleets to gauge demand beyond traditional cars.

Overview

  • Fiat opened UK orders on Friday for the Topolino, a two-seat electric quadricycle priced from £8,995 with a 6kW motor, 5.5kWh battery, a 28mph top speed and a WLTP range of up to 46 miles.
  • The Topolino is classed as a quadricycle, which limits weight, power and speed and changes licensing and use cases compared with conventional small cars.
  • Fiat revealed the Multiplina concept as a compact four-seat, cab‑forward quadricycle that revives the Multipla idea and which reports say is being aimed for a 2028 production window though full specifications and timing remain unconfirmed.
  • Reports say the Governorate of the Vatican City State has ordered 30 small Fiat EVs, combining Topolinos and Tris three‑wheelers for its 'Ecological Conversion 2030' fleet renewal program.
  • The Topolino shares its platform with the Citroën Ami but carries a styling and price premium, and Fiat has signalled plans to bring the model to the U.S. as it expands micromobility offerings for short urban trips and last‑mile services.
