Perfect for the City
Towns and cities offer a vast array of amenities. But what’s the use of having countless shops, restaurants and cafés, if you can’t find anywhere to park nearby?
In the smart fortwo you’ll soon discover a host of new places to park, because even the smallest parking space is suddenly big enough. At the same time, you’ll enjoy an amazing feeling of space inside and a boot that has no problems accommodating your shopping and luggage. In addition, the raised seat position offers a clearer overall view of the traffic situation and makes boarding and alighting from the car particularly comfortable.
Apart from the added comfort, the smart fortwo also provides for more flexible and agile motoring in towns and cities. Getting from A to B is less hassle – and quicker. This is also thanks to the exceptionally tight turning circle of only 8.75 m.
Moreover, the smart fortwo gets by without a clutch – for relaxed motoring, even in the rush hour.
Meanwhile, the fuel gauge shows very little movement. Small wonder, in view of the economical engines and the low overall weight. This lack of ballast is due in part to the bodypanels – body components in high-quality plastic. The particularly light bodypanels contribute to an excellent power/weight ratio, resulting in improved performance and reduced fuel consumption.
Above all, they are delightfully robust and scratch-resistant, shrugging off light bumps practically unscathed. As you can see, there’s more to the smart fortwo than meets the eye.
As there’s always plenty to look at in the city, the smart fortwo coupé features a large panoramic roof1 made of breakresistant polycarbonate. It lets in the sunshine to provide for a marvellously light and airy interior. Unless you decide to use the integrated sunblind, that is. The coupé is also available with a solid roof2 made of robust plastic – black on the outside and with a textured surface finish.
Another special feature of the smart fortwo coupé is that the tailgate and rear window can be opened independently of one another. Opening the rear window is sufficient to place smaller items in the luggage compartment. It can also be unlocked by radio remote control. The additional storage compartment in the tailgate3 helps to keep things neat and tidy in the luggage compartment.
