MICROCAR MICROLINO: Big Soul! Tiny Footprint!

The Microlino is a Swiss-designed urban micro-car inspired by the legendary 1950s Isetta, reimagined for a sustainable future.
 
The 2026 Microlino features a unique front-opening door, up to 228 km of WLTP range, and a 90 km/h top speed. It boasts a 230L trunk and a lightweight unibody steel frame for urban agility.
 

Price Range: Approximately €17,990 to €21,990 depending on battery size.

Body Style & Dimensions:

This L7e quadricycle measures just 2519mm (L) x 1473mm (W) x 1501mm (H). Its compact frame allows for crosswise parking, requiring only a third of a standard parking space.

Platform & Performance:

Operating on a low-voltage architecture, it uses NMC/NCA Lithium-ion chemistry. Three battery options—5.5, 10.5, and 15 kWh—deliver WLTP ranges of 93, 177, and 228 km respectively. Efficiency is rated at roughly 6.1 kWh/100 km. Acceleration from 0-50 km/h takes 5 seconds, with a top speed of 90 km/h.

Technical Capabilities:

Tech is minimalist. It lacks airbags, ABS, and stability control, focusing instead on “active responsibility”. It features a small touchscreen for climate controls and a digital driver display.

Interior & Storage:

The cabin features a two-person bench seat with surprisingly high-quality materials, including vegan leather options. While there is no front trunk, the rear boot offers a generous 230 liters of space.

App Functionality: A dedicated smartphone app allows owners to check vehicle status and plan routes, while over-the-air (OTA) updates keep the digital interface current.

Pros & Cons:

    • Pros: Exceptional parking maneuverability, iconic retro styling, and low running costs.
    • Cons: Lack of standard safety features (no airbags/ABS), noisy cabin fans, and no air conditioning.

The Microlino is the quintessential “second car” for urbanites or an ideal primary vehicle for city dwellers who rarely venture onto highways. It perfectly bridges the gap between a motorbike and a car.

Its main competitors include the Citroën Ami and various light electric quadricycles.

Available now across major European markets, it represents a bold, stylish statement in sustainable city mobility.
