The third generation of smart microcars has retained its compact dimensions. The double smart fortwo has grown in length by only 5 mm compared to predecessor - up to 2695 mm. And “he grew his nose”, from a one-volume vehicle it became one and a half volume, with a clearly highlighted hood. For what? To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision with a pedestrian.
And in order to fit four people in a smart, you need to stretch it another 0.8 meters, and get a forfour 3495 mm long. A couple of useful doors add convenience, but I didn’t manage to slap them - forfour was not brought to the presentation.
The original, two-seat smart came out beaten and more serious than before. And yet, a cheerful color scheme dominates the expanded color mosaic. You can choose different combinations of not only external body panels, but also the radiator grille, security cells and interior design.
The smart fortwo comes standard with a center console with drink holders, storage compartments in the doors, halogen headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, power windows, central locking system with radio remote control, outside temperature indicator with low temperature warning. The car has all the necessary safety and driver assistance systems: anti-lock braking system ABS, electronic stabilization system ESP with crosswind stabilization function, front and side airbags for the driver and a passenger knee airbag for the driver, hill start assist system.
In addition to the basic configuration with steel caps and a black interior, there is a Passion version (alloy wheels, contrast interior, multifunction steering wheel), Prime (leather interior, etc.) and Proxy (panoramic roof, white interior, "sports pedals", exhaust system with chrome pipe ). Fancy trims will also get LED daytime running lights and taillights without incandescent bulbs.
Two engines are available for the smart fortwo, both petrol and three-cylinder. The base atmospheric volume of 999 cm3 with a power of 71 hp, as well as a turbo engine of 898 cm3 with a power of 90 hp. All power is transmitted to the rear wheels, using a five-speed "mechanics" or an optional "robot" DCT for six gears.
Turbocharged smart can accelerate to 100 km / h in 10.7 s, against 14.9 s for the base one. Consumption in any case will please with figures of 4.2 and 4.1 l / 100 km, respectively.
Smart fortwo is produced in France.
