These are the 5 smallest cars in the world!
When it comes to compact cars, there are some real midgets on the road that attract attention. We have compiled a list of the world’s smallest car, where “small” really is an understatement. These cars are not only cute, but also remarkably practical for urban transport and also environmentally friendly. Here is our ranking of the most minuscule cars on the planet:
1. The smallest car: Peel P50 – 1.37 metres
The undisputed king of small cars is the Peel P50, with an incredible length of just 1.37 metres. This micro car offers space for only one person and has a 50cc single-cylinder engine with a modest power output of 4 hp. Yet this little powerhouse achieves a top speed of 61 km/h. Built on the British Isle of Man between 1962 and 1965, the legendary Peel P50 has earned a place in automotive history.
2. Isetta – 2.29 metres
The 1950s Isetta is another iconic small car with a length of 2.29 metres. It accommodated two passengers and was powered by a single-cylinder 245cc engine with 12 hp. Although just a little too big to be the world’s smallest, the Isetta still deserves a place of honour in the small car hall of fame. The concept of the Isetta lives on in modern incarnations such as the electric Microlino.
3. Silence SO4 – 2.28 metres
The Silence SO4 is a small electric four-wheeler with a length of 2.28 metres. This compact two-seater has two variants, with top speeds of 45 or 85 km/h. With its 6 kW electric motor and a range of 149 km, the Silence SO4 offers an environmentally friendly and efficient mobility solution.
4. Renault Twizy – 2.34 metres
The Renault Twizy is even smaller than the aforementioned cars, at 2.34 metres long. This French trolley seats two passengers in tandem seating and is more reminiscent of a four-wheeled motorbike than a traditional car. Available in both 45km/h and 80km/h versions, the Twizy has a range of almost 100km per charge.
5. Citroën Ami – 2.41 metres
Designed specifically for urban transport, the Citroën Ami measures just 2.41 metres in length. This French plug-in box is officially classified as an electric moped and does not require a driving licence. With a small 6 kW electric motor and a range of 75 km, the Citroën Ami is the perfect city companion.
These extraordinarily small cars prove that size doesn’t always matter when it comes to mobility. Which of these mini cars would be your favourite city companion? Let us know in the comments!
