Fiat's Tiny $15,000 EV Can Finally Hit American Streets

Who doesn't want a Fiat Topolino? Sure, it's slow, has little range, and seems to have all the creature comforts of a plastic beach chair. But it's adorable, filled with character, and has a starting price of just $14,985 including a destination fee. And, I mean, just look at it.

When Fiat first launched the Topolino in the U.S. not too long ago, it wasn't legal to drive on public roads. Originally, Fiat's "little mouse" only had a top speed of 19 mph, since it wasn't designated as a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV), which is what neighborhood EVs and street-legal golf carts are. Customers could still buy them, but they were only allowed on private properties. With the 2027 model year that launched on Thursday, the Topolino comes street legal right out of the box, with a top speed of 25 miles per hour.

For 2027, Fiat also brought a new "Open Air" model to the lineup, so you can live la dolce vita, al fresco.

For customers who already bought the non-streel-legal version, Fiat is offering a complimentary LSV upgrade.

There are now three different models: the standard Topolino, Dolce Vita, and the new Open Air. The standard car is just a two-door hardtop, while the Dolce Vita comes with a roll-off soft-top roof and fun stanchions instead of doors, like a Jeep Wrangler only cuter. The new Open Air is a combination of the two, with the Dolce Vita's roll-off roof but the normal car's doors. All models have the same $13,995 MSRP.
