What is the best vehicle among the Fiat Topolino, Citroën Ami, and Microlino?
This page is translated from the original post "Quel est le meilleur véhicule entre la Fiat Topolino, la Citroën Ami et la Microlino ? " in French.

These are the three recently announced electric quadricycles, for this reason, we wanted to compare them with city cars.
Three different vehicles, each equipped with two seats, but what exactly are these cars worth? To do this, we chose the base model of each vehicle to ensure fairness among all of them.
Performance in favor of the Microlino
Of course, before making this comparison, the performance claims by the manufacturers favored the Microlino, and this was confirmed. That doesn’t mean the Swiss vehicle is far ahead in terms of range, especially considering the price and the highlighted features.
To be precise, here is a table summarizing the performance characteristics of the models.
Microlino | Fiat Topolino | Citroën Ami | |
Power | 12.5 kW | 6 kW | 6 kW |
Max speed | 90 km/h | 45 km/h | 45 km/h |
Acceleration | 4.9 sec (0-50 km/h) | / | / |
Max torque | 89 Nm | 44 Nm | 40 Nm |
Range | 91 km | 75 km | 75 km |
Battery | 6 kWh | 5.5 kWh | 5.5 kWh |
Charging time | 4h | 4h | 4h |
Price advantage clearly favors the Topolino and its Ami
Of course, the Ami and Topolino have the advantage in this area. The performance differences between these two vehicles and the Microlino are notable, but it was interesting to analyze this to understand the differences clearly.
Microlino | Topolino | Ami | |
Size | 2.51 meters long, 1.47 meters wide, and 1.50 meters high | 2.53 meters long, 1.40 meters wide, and 1.53 meters high | 2.41 meters long, 1.39 meters wide, and 1.52 meters high |
Price | €17,990 entry-level | Below €10,000 (price not yet announced) | €6,990 entry-level |
In the end, the price difference may seem significant, but the performance favors the Microlino, with a maximum speed of 90 km/h, compared to 45 km/h for the Fiat Topolino and the Citroën Ami. The Microlino costs twice as much as the Citroën Ami but offers higher power and range features. However, the Ami is more attractive in terms of value for money—similar characteristics to the Topolino at a lower price.
