Fiat Koala

The Fiat Koala is an upcoming battery electric city car expected to be introduced by Fiat in 2027. It is being developed by Stellantis as part of the company's new E-Car programme, a family of affordable electric vehicles intended to comply with the European Union's proposed M1E category for compact urban cars.

Overview

The Koala will become Fiat's entry-level electric city car and is expected to be priced at approximately €15,000. The model is planned to be produced at Stellantis' Pomigliano d'Arco plant in Italy, alongside the current Pandina, and will serve as one of the first vehicles developed under the E-Car programme.

The project follows Stellantis' announcement of a new category of affordable electric vehicles inspired by the Japanese kei car concept. The E-Car platform is intended to reduce manufacturing costs while complying with future European regulations for small electric vehicles.

The Koala could borrow styling cues from the Fiat Ippo concept car while having upright proportions from previous Panda models. Reports also indicate that, although the vehicle is primarily planned as a battery-electric model, internal-combustion versions remain under evaluation. On 21 October 2026, the Fiat Koala was confirmed as the vehicle's name.
