The Fiat Topolino is engineered for easy navigation through congested city streets, thanks to its tight turning radius and automatic transmission. Equipped with a 6 kW (8.2 hp) electric motor, and a driving range of up to 75 kilometers on a single charge. Its 5.4 kWh battery can be fully recharged in approximately four hours using a standard household outlet.
With Topolino’s Autonis Award victory, FIAT reinforces its role as a pioneer of accessible, eco-friendly urban vehicles and celebrates a new milestone in the evolution of Italian automotive design.
