Fiat is introducing its compact electric vehicle, the Topolino, to the U.S. market with a starting price under $15,000. The two-seat EV is designed for low-speed travel and is intended for use in areas like private neighborhoods, resorts, and golf cart-friendly communities.

The Topolino is priced at $13,995 before destination fees, or $14,985 after. This pricing comes as the average price for three-year-old used vehicles reached $31,548 in the first quarter of 2026, according to Edmunds. The new Fiat EV is approximately 8 feet long, weighs 1,073 pounds, and has a range of up to 46 miles on its 5.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. A full charge can be completed in about five hours using a 2.3-kilowatt AC charger.

Fiat announced that by the end of the summer, owners will have the option to add a complimentary conversion kit that will reclassify the Topolino as a federally regulated low-speed vehicle (LSV). This upgrade will increase the vehicle's top speed to 25 mph, making it legal for use on public roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less.

An LSV is defined as a street-legal motor vehicle capable of speeds between 20 and 25 mph, and unlike golf carts, it is permitted on public roads within specific speed limits.

The vehicle will be available in two styles: the standard Topolino and the Topolino Dolcevita. Both models feature a Verde Vita exterior color, 14-inch wheels with vintage covers, LED lamps, digital displays, phone holders, and luggage space. The standard Topolino includes a panoramic sunroof, while the Dolcevita variant offers a roll-back soft top and rope-style doors.

"Topolino represents a new chapter for the brand in the U.S. — defined not just by size, but by purpose," said Olivier Francois, brand CEO at Fiat. "With Topolino, we bring a feeling, a lifestyle, a reminder that mobility can be joyful, expressive and beautifully simple."

This U.S. launch expands Fiat's electric offerings, adding to the existing 500e model as the brand aims to grow its customer base in the United States. The Topolino was first introduced in Europe in 2023, with its name, meaning Mickey Mouse in Italian, referencing one of Fiat's notable cars from the 1930s.
