Two colours. One-off. Typically smart and unmistakable: the smart fortwo combines familiar design features such as the two-colour concept consisting of tridion safety cell and bodypanels with new ideas and details. The result is a design that clearly stands out from the other cars on the road and makes the city a little bit more exciting.

Wheel rims. Alloy or steel wheels, black or silver, spokes or twin spokes: The various rim designs cater to every wish.

Lamp design. Shining highlights: The front lights in a clear glass look with halogen lamps are optionally available with the welcome function and elegantly curved, integrated daytime driving lights featuring LED fibre-optic technology.

Lamp design. The rear is dominated by the large bi-colour lights – with LED segments if you opt for the optional LED & Sensor package. Integrated in the tridion safety cell, the tail lights give the design a premium look and lend the rear end its own distinctive character, too.

Panoramic roof. The 1.2 square metre panoramic roof made of breakage-resistant polycarbonate brings more light to the interior and creates a greater feeling of spaciousness. It consists of two segments of laminated glass at the front and single-layer safety glass at the rear. An infinitely adjustable fabric sunblind provides shade when needed. What’s more, a slight tint keeps 60% of the sun’s energy and 100% of UV radiation outside.

A thousand ideas packed into 2.69 m. Whatever you need every day – simply take it along with you! You'll be amazed how much fits inside a smart fortwo. It really shows what it's made of when its doors are open wide to reveal its amazingly spacious interior.

Load capacity. Take everything you need along with you: with a load capacity of up to 350 litres, the luggage compartment of the smart fortwo is surprisingly spacious. This is also demonstrated by our innovative pactris app: while shopping you can already measure the dimensions (scanning by means of barcode) and immediately see whether and where the purchased item will best fit in your smart. 

Front passenger seat. The front passenger seat backrest can be folded right down to extend your options - enabling longer items to fit easily in the smart fortwo.

Tailgate. The split tailgate makes particularly easy work of loading and unloading. Simply open the top section to stow smaller items inside the car. And for larger items fold down the lower section for even more convenient loading.

Space for small items. The drawer in the centre console is a clever idea: it creates space where there was none before for stowing small items away securely and out of sight. Thanks to the integrated cup holder hot or cold drinks can be safely transported. The stowage compartment in the tailgate offers additional stowage space for small items. Fluorescent jacket, first-aid kit or warning triangle can also be accommodated here. And the stowage compartments in the doors can hold bottle sizes of up to a litre. Special detail: The folding spectacles compartment  instead of the handle on the driver's side is a useful stowage facility within direct reach.

Everything in sight. For an excellent overview: the raised seating position typical of smart means that not only do you spot free parking spaces more quickly, getting into and out of the car is also easier. With the Comfort package you can tailor your seat even more effectively to your needs, as the driver's seat and steering column are height-adjustable and can be individually adapted to your height and stature.

The smart Audio-System  offers a comprehensive scope of functions for unlimited listening pleasure. Play your favourite music via USB stick or MP3 player or simply stream your audio files via Bluetooth® from your smartphone.

The smart Media-System  is simple and intuitive to operate. Perfectly integrated in the interior design, the optional smart Media-System boasts a 17.8 cm (7") capacitive multi-touch display and high functionality: in addition to a hands-free function and music streaming via Bluetooth®, the Media-System has interfaces for AUX, USB and SD card – enabling you to view pictures and films as well as listening to your own music.

Android Auto  turns your Android smartphone into your perfect co-driver. All you need is your mobile phone, the smart Media-System, a USB cable to connect the two, and the Android Auto app. This app bundles applications to assist you while driving, such as Google Maps or telephone and music functions. Android Auto uses your smartphone's software and your smart's hardware: you can operate the functions via buttons on the Media-System and on the steering wheel. You can also use voice-operated control to start the navigation system, dictate a text message or make telephone calls.

The JBL sound system  incl. 6-channel DSP amplifier with a total power output

of 240 W turns your smart fortwo into a small concert hall. Eight high-performance loudspeakers surround you with crystal-clear sound from all sides. The subwoofer in the luggage compartment, which is simple to remove without tools if required, delivers powerful bass and will set your pulse racing.

Digital radio. All set for the best reception. The digital radio offers excellent reception quality and valuable additional information, for example about traffic and the radio channel.

As digital broadcasting is not yet available everywhere, the digital radio automatically switches from digital to analogue reception and vice versa depending on signal strength. You can also switch between digital and analogue mode manually.

The most important functions at a glance:

• Supports audio codes DAB, DAB+ and DMB audio
• Registers and displays the names of all stations and ensembles currently available (DAB twin tuner)
• Registers and displays EPG data (Electronic Program Guide) such as the start and end time of programmes
• Service following between DAB and FM stations with largely imperceptible switching (seamless linking)
• Display of artist/title information of current station
• Display of radio text (dynamic label) of current station
• DAB station presets for 12 stations

The mix of materials and colours  in the interior underlines the unique character of the smart fortwo – and gives every equipment line its own special touch.

Ambient lighting. The ambient lighting brings out the best in the stylish interior at night-time. Fibre-optic cables in the door centre panel, centre console and footwell produce an indirect, gentle light. Atmospheric detail: a fibre-optic cable traces the round contours of the centre console drawer.

Upholstery. Eye-catching in black/orange: fabric upholstery for the passion line. The inside areas, dashboard and door centre panels in orange provide a contrast to the black outer panels of the backrests and seat surfaces.

If you prefer a classic look you’re sure to love the fabric seat upholstery in black/white. As a contrast to the black outer panels, the inside areas of the seats come in white.

Instrument cluster. With the passion, perfect and prime equipment lines and above, the instrument cluster features an 8.9 cm (3.5-inch) colour TFT display. It has all the important data and information you need during your journey.

Air vents. The large air vents on the dashboard ensure a pleasant temperature and fresh air at all times – and display the smart logo when closed.

Dashboard instrument. Lends the interior a sporty touch: dashboard instrument with clock and rev counter. The revs displayed offer practical guidance for fuel-saving driving and timely shifting. In addition, the red range warns of over-revving.

3-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel in leather. The 3-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel with perforated leather and grey topstitching lends the interior an even more dynamic look. And it not only looks good: frequently used functions are safe and convenient to use thanks to integrated buttons.

Manoeuvrability. Short means better. With a length of just 2.69 m the smart fortwo fits in every space and is ideal for everyday city driving.
Turning circle. Unrivalled in this discipline: the smart fortwo. Thanks to its length of just 2.69 m and the new Direct-Steer system with variable ratio, the turning circle of just 6.95 m measured from wheel to wheel takes some beating – and you can almost turn on the spot. With an optimised seating position, a short vehicle length and good all-round visibility, parking is child’s play.

Long wheelbase.  Extremely short overhangs:the wheels are positioned on the outer ends of the vehicle – a highly unusual design feature in this form. And not only do they look good - in combination with the rear engine concept this enables the best possible utilisation of space and a greater feeling of spaciousness.

Wide track. A striking icon: the new smart fortwo is ten centimetres wider than its predecessor, and this has a positive effect on both the interior spaciousness and the visual presence.

Direct-Steer system. Noticeably easier: the Direct-Steer system greatly facilitates parking and manoeuvring. The Direct-Steer system combines the comfort of speed-sensitive power steering with variable steering ratios depending on the steering wheel angle.Not only does this make for greater cornering agility, it also noticeably reduces the steering effort required when parking. And helps you stay on track.

All about the engine

Suspension. Takes uneven roads in its stride: with springs specially configured for the demands of city streets you reach your destination safely and feeling relaxed.

Drive system. The smart fortwo owes its iconic appearance to the position of the engine and transmission at the rear. The efficient 3-cylinder petrol engines with an output of 52 kW or 66 kW turbo, the 6-speed twinamic dual clutch transmission which is unique in this vehicle class and a new manual 5-speed transmission guarantee maximum fun at the wheel.
