The micro car that can squeeze into just about any spot

A petite package with lots of perks

by Kurt Knutsson

In many medium to large cities across the country, traffic congestion poses a significant challenge. It not only causes problems on the roads but also impacts parking availability. So, what’s the solution?

Enter the Microlino Lite—a compact and eco-friendly vehicle that could be the answer. This charming little car is the brainchild of Swiss Company Micro Mobility Systems, and it’s turning heads with its recent unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Microlino Lite by the numbers

The Microlino Lite is a dream come true for city dwellers. At just 8 feet 3 inches long, 4 feet 9 inches wide, and 4 feet 11 inches high, it’s the perfect size for navigating narrow lanes and squeezing into those tight parking spots that are the bane of every urban driver’s existence. In the same parking space needed for an SUV, you can fit approximately three of these microcars

Power packed in a petite package

Don’t let its size fool you; the Microlino Lite packs quite a punch with its battery options. Depending on your needs, you can choose from a small 6 kWh battery, a medium 10.5 kWh battery, or go all out with the large 14 kWh battery.

These powerhouses give the Microlino a kerb weight of  approximately 1,315 pounds (small) , approximately 1,352 pounds (medium), approximately 1,389 pounds (Large). And when it comes to range, the Microlino Lite promises 58 miles, 110 miles, and 142 miles for each battery size, measured by the WMTC standard. Remember, though, your mileage may vary.

How the Microlino is built for safety

It’s the first in its class to have a unibody safety cell made of steel and aluminum, making it exceptionally sturdy and able to better withstand impacts. Enhanced protection is provided through front and rear crash bars. Every seat is equipped with three-point seatbelts. It has front and rear disc brakes for better braking performance. Equipped with independent front and rear Mc-Pherson suspension for more stability on the road.

Awaiting American arrival

The buzz is real, but the wait continues for the Microlino Lite’s debut on American streets. As of now, it’s not clear when it will be launched in the U.S. due to differing registration requirements. But one thing’s for sure, when it does arrive, it’s set to redefine urban mobility.
