What Happened
FIAT is expanding the Topolino family with the New Topolino Dolcevita, a version that brings the open-air experience to the range. Fiat says the model combines the protection of an enclosed vehicle with the pleasure of open-air driving, inspired by the carefree spirit of the Italian Dolce Vita. The opening soft-top roof had been reserved for the Topolino Vilebrequin Collector's Edition, and it now becomes part of the broader line-up. Fiat describes this as turning an exclusive detail into a new expression of accessible style.

Fiat says the Topolino continues to build on its success across Europe, confirming its position as a leader in the electric quadricycle market, and that the positive momentum continues with sales growing by up to 30% versus the previous year. The company says the family continues to evolve while remaining true to its unique identity: a simple, accessible and unmistakably Italian approach to electric urban mobility.

Previously from Fiat
Earlier in September 2026, design house GFG Style, founded by Giugiaro, and Lapo Elkann revealed two one-off Fiat Topolino design studies in Turin, each pushing the tiny Topolino in a completely different direction. At the end of July 2026, FIAT reported 21.7% growth in European registrations for the first half of the year, lifting its market share to 3.3%.

Why this matters
The opening soft-top roof was previously exclusive to the Topolino Vilebrequin Collector's Edition, so turning it into a regular line-up option widens the choice for buyers of this small electric quadricycle. Fiat says Topolino leads Europe's electric quadricycle market, with sales growing by up to 30% versus the previous year, which is the momentum this new version is meant to extend.
