Stellantis is opening U.S. orders for the 2026 Fiat Topolino, a very small fully electric vehicle that has been sold in Europe for several years and is now coming to the United States. Multiple outlets describe it as resembling a tiny car but operating more like a quadricycle or golf-cart-style micro-vehicle. The Topolino’s U.S. starting price is reported at about $13,995, with two variants offered: a hard-top version with doors and a version marketed with a soft, roll-back top (described as using ropes instead of doors).
Reporting also emphasizes the key limitation on real-world use. At the base price, the Topolino is capped at about 19 mph, which restricts driving to private property in jurisdictions that treat it like a low-speed vehicle. Stellantis plans to offer a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) conversion kit, expected by late summer, that raises the maximum speed to about 25 mph. With the conversion, the vehicle is described as becoming street-legal on roads with speed limits up to roughly 35 mph, though it is still not intended for highways.
Outlets note the move arrives as U.S. consumers face high new and used vehicle prices and rising auto debt.
