2027 Fiat Topolino Specifications and Availability
The 2027 Fiat Topolino is officially on sale at select US dealers. Starting at $14,985 including the destination fee, the vehicle is federally classified as a motor vehicle and is fully street-legal for public roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less.
Measuring just over 8 feet long (8’3″), the Topolino is smaller than the Fiat 500e. It is powered by an 8 hp electric motor paired with a 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The vehicle achieves a top speed of 25 mph and offers a driving range of up to 46 miles on a single charge. A full battery recharge takes approximately five hours using a standard electrical outlet.
Body Styles and New Features
Buyers can choose from three distinct body styles: the standard Topolino, the Dolce Vita, and the new Open Air model. The Open Air variant incorporates a roll-back soft-top roof and asymmetrical full doors.
Unlike the initial batch of 2026 models, the 2027 iteration arrives at dealerships pre-configured as street legal. Fiat includes a free low-speed vehicle (LSV) conversion kit featuring a rearview mirror, backup camera, and a pedestrian alert system. Additionally, Fiat provides complimentary home delivery for buyers residing within a 50-mile radius of a participating dealer.
Relevance for European Readers
While quadricycle and low-speed electric vehicle formats like the original Fiat Topolino and Citroën Ami have long established a presence across European urban centers, this release details the official US market rollout and specific local pricing, configuration options, and federal street-legal compliance frameworks applied stateside.
Practical Takeaway
The 2027 Fiat Topolino offers a compact, sub-$15,000 option for neighborhood transit, beach communities, and campgrounds where highway speeds are not required. Buyers should verify local dealership availability, body style choices including the new Open Air version, and home delivery radius eligibility before purchasing.
