Geely Panda Mini

When talking about cars and cuteness, you will surely come across the Geely Panda Mini. You’ve probably seen this model featured in a magazine or a social media post.

This tiny EV made its debut at a shopping center in China. As you may already have guessed, this model’s design is inspired by the Panda bear. It has a cute round appearance and large LED headlights that dominate the front end. It’s also equipped with ear-like mirrors, making it look like a panda car.

Geely primarily focuses on the Chinese market, so there’s a high chance you won’t find any Geely Panda Mini sold in the US. However, if you’re really into cute cars, it will be really interesting to try and drive one.

Are you familiar with the Kei Firetruck? If you were active on Instagram during the pandemic, you might have already come across this unique vehicle while scrolling through your feed. This little fire truck has been spreading joy all over the world through its adorable design.

Kei Firetrucks were originally used in rural areas across Japan. But interestingly, in San Francisco, an old Kei firetruck was restored to make it an effective fire buster again.

The Microlino

The Microlino is a cute, nimble, and practical car. It’s all electric and lightweight, making it perfect for urban streets. Its design was inspired by the bubble cars of the 1950s, and its endearing retro touch will remind you of the BMW Isetta.

If its cuteness isn’t enough to interest you, you might also be shocked that this microcar can be plugged into a house plug for just four hours.

But can you drive a Microlino in the US? According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), microcars don’t fall under the same category as other cars. It’s classified as low-speed vehicles (LSVs).

Most US states allow LSVs to operate on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less.  If you’d like to drive a microcar, you can check the laws that apply in your state.
