The Fiat TooGo By Marco Maltese Is Future-Ready Urban Concept

An independent design study suggests a different side for the small Fiat Panda. Called the Fiat TooGo, this EV with a foldable scooter built into it was the idea of Marco Maltese for Fiat. The three-door body showcases a design that pays homage to the 1980s original Panda while incorporating contemporary styling.
Big disc wheels and short overhangs define the proportions. Covering the lower half of the body, protective cladding works. A battery level indicator sits between the square LED headlights, drawing inspiration from Fiat's previous logo; the charging port and multiple cameras are neatly housed in the side gills.
The two-part tailgate is another noteworthy feature that allows for easy access to the cargo compartment's low floor. A motorized scooter is stored in the trunk's lower section. When not in use, the scooter is concealed beneath a cover that could double as a bench. In the concept's four-seat cabin, you'll find seats that look straight out of the future and a floating center console. Sustainably sourced materials and functionality are the focal points of the Fiat TooGo's cabin.
In addition to the panoramic sunroof, the door straps, the Sonus Faber audio speakers mounted on the doors, the bamboo-fiber-wrapped dashboard, the matching upholstery on the door cards and seats, and the intriguing steering wheel with an integrated display, there are still other noteworthy features.
Marc Maltese also made an off-road variant of his concept. A stylish roof rack housing a full-size spare wheel, steel wheels shod in all-terrain tires, robust bumpers, an integrated bull bar, and additional front LEDs characterize this model. Regrettably, this Fiat TooGo will only be available in the real world.
