When we knew that Stellantis was going to resurrect the legendary Fiat Topolino we are pleased. The thing is that no one thought that she would do it like he has done. That is, instead of creating a new model “from scratch” They have taken the basis of the already successful Citroën Ami. However, instead of using its basic design elements, the designers of the Italian house They have had more room to bring him closer to his identity. To be exact to the image that the Original Fiat 500 “Topolino” which was sold between 1936 and 1955.
With a product like this Fiat ensures and reinforces even more, if possible, its presence in the increasingly smaller A segment. This is how it gives its new Pandina y 500 a brother with whom to continue expanding its market share. And it does so with a product that, without being groundbreaking, will surely become a success. The reasons for this are very simple. Have a very attractive design, remarkable maneuverability in the city, it is one hundred percent electric and its price... when you know it, it will surely make you want to have one. Or not...?
The Fiat Topolino arrives in Spanish cities to be the envy of drivers and users...
If you do a little memory the Topolino, the latest generation, debuted a few months ago. Throughout all this time we have been waiting for news to know when it was going to hit the market and until now we have not had it. As we have already said, taking the basis of the Citroën Ami those from Fiat have shaped their microurban and although it seemed that it was going to be much more expensive than the French model, everything indicates that this will not be the case. So if you like it and want to have one, keep an eye on its details because it's already here...
But before getting into the matter, we will review some curious facts. On the front you can see that the optics and some design elements are reminiscent of the 500 from 1936.. The side view does not vary excessively compared to its French brother, although there are new wheels or rather sets of hubcaps. Already, at the rear, we have optics that become vertical with a style similar to that worn by its predecessor. As a complement, compared to its brother, there is a more playful version with a roll-up canvas roof and without doors (which are ropes).
Behind closed doors, the new Topolino faithfully follows in the footsteps of Citroën's My Ami. The reason for this is very simple: control production costs. However, for the more playful version, some exclusive details are reserved such as contrasting upholstery or moldings to give a greater sense of quality. Where there is no new is in the security section (does not have airbags), comfort (no air conditioning or climate) or connectivity (since it is limited to including a mobile phone holder and a USB socket).
In the technical section, don't expect a big change or significant new developments either. It is a light quadricycle that can be driven from the age of 15 with an AM or moped license. This is because Its small electric motor does not provide more than 8 HP of final power and its battery does not give it more than 75 kilometers of autonomy. In summary, its features are, what they are, fair with a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour. A figure that is more than perfect for strolling through the big cities of Spain.
And how much does the new Fiat Topolino cost in Spain?
Well, the people of the Italian brand have created a new space on their official website for the sale of this charming micro-urban. It is a purely online sale that stands out for its simplicity as well as for its security and transparency. According to what they indicate, the website has an interface similar to those already used by e-commerce platforms with a simple style and image to facilitate an easy and accessible user experience. For this there is a 3D configurator and a hotline to resolve doubts or questions.
It's more, even From the website itself you can define parameters such as financing and make the initial payment. Thus, the customer who wants to get a unit can see the process from start to finish by being in contact with the brand through email and the sales staff. Thus you can have a Topolino with an entry of 2.999 euros and a fee from 54 euros per month for 35 months. The last installment is 6.279,16 euros and at that moment you will have to decide if you keep it or return it.
Didn't you expect it to be more expensive? Me too…
