New Spring look for Smart Fortwo
The Smart Fortwo will relaunch with a fresh and bold new look this Spring.
The popular city runaround’s exterior has been spruced up with a larger radiator grille, striking front aprons, horizontally arranged LED daytime driving lights, muscular side skirts and modified rear aprons.
Inside, a high quality leather/fabric combination graces the two seats with the doors covered by an imitation leather/fabric mix and black imitation leather for the instrument panel in combination with a grey knee pad.
Grey might not get too many hearts racing with excitement but it’s certainly more tasteful than 2011’s ‘tangomobile’.
Same guts
Under the hood, the Fortwo will still carry the 0.8-1L engine with emissions ranging from 86g/km for the 40 kW cdi to 119g/km with the 75 kW BRABUS model.
The six engines vary from the Fortwo electric drive’s eco-friendly electric power train to the efficient micro hybrid petrol engine through the powerful turbo petrol engine to the fuel-efficient cdi turbodiesel.
Smart head Dr Annette Winkler commented: “The way in which the Fortwo now displays the smart logo more prominently stands for the brand’s new self-confidence.
“The Smart Fortwo has long become an icon that is a defining feature of urban traffic throughout the world.”
The Fortwo proved a hit with Balfour Beatty late last year, with its 85mpg fuel economy warranting an order of eight vehicles for its Plant & Fleet arm.
Prices start from €10,275 in Europe (or £8,548 to you and I) although a UK price is yet to be confirmed.
