Refreshed Fiat Topolino gets new ‘Corallo’ paint job and updated dials

Fiat has updated its all-electric Topolino quadricycle with a bright new exterior colour option and a simplified digital instrument cluster.

Dubbed ‘Corallo’, the new paint is a warm, bright orange, which Fiat describes as an “optimistic, sun-kissed tone that feels unmistakably Italian”. It is the second colour option in the Topolino line-up alongside the equally vibrant Verde Vita green.

The Topolino’s brand-new digital instrument cluster has grown from 3.5 inches to 5.7 inches, with a full panel area of 8.3 inches. The readout benefits from simplified graphics, enhanced readability, and a lighter, more visually-friendly language.

Not sold in the UK, the Fiat Topolino is priced from at €10,000 in selected European markets, where it has hoovered up a 20% market share thanks to its appealing design, and easy-going, ‘Dolce Vita’ personality.

Sharing its platform with the Citroen Ami and Opel Rocks-e, the city-focused Topolino measures just 2.5 metres long. Thanks to its tiny dimensions, the Topolino can be driven in Europe’s Limited Traffic Zones (ZTLs) and historic city centres.

The Fiat Topolino is available with just one choice of battery – a 5.4kWh unit producing 46 miles of range, and a top speed of 28mph. Using a 220 volt, three-pin domestic household socket, it can be fully charged in approximately four hours.

Along with the new Panda Electric, 500e, and 600e, the Topolino is the fourth all-electric Fiat passenger vehicle. As well as its Stellantis siblings from Citroen and Opel, the Nissan Silence S04 and Swiss-made Microlino are other competitors.

Quadricycles such as the Topolino do not require a full driving licence in Europe, and are classified as L-category vehicles. This means that only a motorbike licence is required to drive them.

In certain European countries, such as France, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Portugal and Poland, drivers as young as 14 years of age are able to get behind the wheel of a quadricycle.
