Fiat Topolino Trail – an electric mini off-road SUV as we would design it!

You like the Fiat Topolino but it's way too small? Then our creation of the Topolino Trail would certainly be worth a look – even if it only exists in our heads so far. We have created renders of a mini SUV in Tipolino style.

The Fiat Topolino is more of an electric city toy than a "real" car. But that's exactly why he cries out for a version that takes him seriously: a small, everyday mini SUV with a touch of off-road look, without pretending to win the Dakar every day.

Here comes the Fiat Topolino Trail – a concept car that would be so charming that even people who otherwise never drive a Fiat would probably buy it. We created renders of this car as we would imagine it.

Design: cuddly, edgy, but not embarrassing

From the back, the Topolino Trail looks like a pocket-sized little adventurer: short overhang, upright stance, round LED taillights – all very likeable. In addition, there are thick black plastic paneling that do just the right thing: They make the car look more robust and also protect it from the typical parking space war.

The look is a mix of retro toy car and mini SUV, with roof rack, slightly increased ground clearance and those little details that you immediately celebrate: orange towing eyes, underride protection look, off-road tires with a coarse tread.

We think this car really has potential, because it is modern, robust, drives electrically and is suitable for everyday use despite its small size.

Range: enough for everyday life, not for world travel

To ensure that the Topolino Trail not only looks cute, but is also really usable, it gets a larger battery than a classic small car in our imagination. Realistic would be:

• approx. 40 kWh battery
• 250 to 320 km real range
• Fast charging with 80–100 kW

This is not a long-distance king - but honestly: In this class, most people want to get through the week stress-free. Commuting, shopping, daycare, gym, a bit of country road at the weekend - that's easily enough.

Special features: small ideas that make sense

The best thing about such a mini SUV is that it doesn't have to shine with tons of assistance systems, but with clever everyday solutions. For the Topolino Trail, for example, these would be:

• Washable interior (rubber floor, sturdy seats – done)
• "Urban Offroad" mode: smoother starting, more traction control on gravel or wet grass
• Roof rack as standard for boards, small box or bike rack
• Practical trunk solution with deep loading floor and removable tub (for dirty shoes, dog, beverage crates)
• 360° camera with a fisheye look, but really helpful when parking
• physical buttons for climate and volume, because no one wants touchscreen Tetris

In short: The car would not be "premium", but smart and inexpensive.

Fantasy car – but why it could still be a hit

Yes, of course: this car doesn't exist. Not yet. And presumably, a manufacturer would swallow nervously at the idea, because the combination of microcar and SUV also sounds strange at first.

But that's exactly why the Topolino Trail would be so exciting: It hits a nerve that many current cars completely ignore. Most people don't want a 2 – 3-ton SUV with 21-inch wheels. You want to:

• Clear dimensions
• High seating position
• easy parking
• robust appearance
• affordable maintenance
• and a car that simply puts you in a good mood

Andthat would be the Topolino Trail: a small lifestyle SUV for everyday use that doesn't pretend to be an off-road vehicle – but still conveys the feeling. A car that you look at and think: That's exactly what I'd like to have.
