smart has already demonstrated how economical and environmentally friendly a car can be with the smart fortwo cdi (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km[2] 3.3, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 88). With the smart fortwo micro hybrid drive (combined fuel consumption for coupé in l/100 km[2] 4.3, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 103; combined fuel consumption for cabrio in l/100 km[2] 4.4, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 105) smart is going a step further and presenting a real alternative to conventional drives.
8% lower consumption[1] with 100% performance.
Instead of a conventional starter, the smart fortwo mhd (combined fuel consumption for coupé in l/100 km[2] 4.3, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 103; combined fuel consumption for cabrio in l/100 km[2] 4.4, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 105) works with a start/stop generator that uses the engine's "idle phases" as efficiently as possible. The mhd switches the engine off as soon as you brake and fall below a speed of 8 km/h. When the traffic starts moving again, take your foot off the brake pedal and the engine will start again without delay so that you can continue your journey. The smart fortwo mhd's start/stop generator enables a fuel saving of up to 19% in city traffic[1], without compromising on performance or comfort. The mhd technology works perfectly with the automated manual 5-speed transmission: First gear is always automatically engaged when the engine restarts. However, less petrol and CO2 does not mean compromising on comfort because no matter whether you choose one of the smart fortwo equipment lines or the exclusive special model smart fortwo edition micro hybrid drive (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km[2] 4.3, combined CO2 emissions in g/km[2] 103) - they are all are available with mhd technology.

Calculation basis: A comparison of the official fuel consumption figures for the smart fortwo coupé 52 kw and smart fortwo coupé 52 kw mhd showed that the smart fortwo micro hybrid drive coupé consumed approx. 19 % less fuel in the urban cycle and approx. 8 % less in the combined driving cycle. The consumption figures may vary depending on the actual traffic situation and individual driving style.
