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.

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.
