You'll only find unusual solutions by asking unusual questions. Question the status quo, take a different angle and risk a fresh approach ã these are all essential to discovering new horizons. This is demonstrated by the smart fortwo - an extraordinary vehicle concept for greater mobility in ever denser urban traffic, a concept that simply makes more intelligent use of the ever diminishing space available in our towns and cities. Does a car need a rear seat bench, when it carries an average of just 1.2. occupants in urban traffic? Isnπt a bonnet a waste of space, when the engine can be accommodated at the rear? Is a clutch pedal really necessary, when an automated manual transmission is more suited to urban driving? Is size really a measure of safety, when an innovative safety concept offers optimum protection in a vehicle measuring just 2.69m in length? Youπll 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 view of the traffic ahead. 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.

Meanwhile, the fuel gauge shows very little movement. Small wonder, in view of the economical engines and the low overall weight. As you can see, thereπs more to the smart fortwo than meets the eye. In the smart fortwo youπll discover new sides to life every day ã and enjoy greater freedom. A smart is even good for other motorists, too because the compact smart fortwo leaves more space for other cars. The low fuel consumption is kind not only on your wallet but on the environment, too. Low fuel consumption means reduced emissions. And that means a better quality air for everyone in town.

This holds true for every smart fortwo variant. The smart fortwo not only has low fuel consumption, but also low running costs. After all, there are far nicer things to spend your money on than petrol, taxes or insurance premiums. So you need have no qualms about popping into town in the smart fortwo on a Saturday ã just look forward to a relaxed, hassle-free trip and the luxury of finding a parking space without any fuss. The surprisingly large luggage compartment is the icing on the cake ã offering more than enough space for your weekly shopping or your luggage for a weekend trip.

The larger and higher-powered three-cylinder in-line engines are fully in keeping with the vehicle concept of the smart fortwo. With a capacity of under one litre, they are extremely compact and space-saving. Their all-aluminium design makes them particularly light. And, despite their low fuel consumption and low emissions, they offer impressive technical data that add up to enhanced agility and better performance.

Despite its compact dimensions, the smart fortwoπs crash management system and special design provide for the best possible all-round passive protection. Hydraulic brake assist makes a decisive contribution to driving safety, too. It automatically initiates controlled emergency braking when you step on the brake pedal quickly, but not firmly enough. After many years of faithful service, you can return your smart to us for environmentally friendly disposal in accordance with the EU Directive on End-Of-Life-Vehicles*. But that day lies a long way off.
