Life is quite simply too short for a long car. This is why we have greatly compressed the four-seater – and optimised the space. The result: a perfect city car with four seats. With a length of just 3.49 m. This makes it a bit bigger than the smart fortwo – but don't worry: this difference won't make a difference. Because it doesn't just look like a smart, it has the performance to match.

Fuel consumption (combined) 4.7 - 4.2 l/100 km

CO2 emissions (combined) 108 - 96 g/km

Typically smart: a real eye-catcher. The face of the smart forfour welcomes you with a smile: the radiator featuring a honeycomb structure with the integrated smart logo defines the striking look of the front. The halogen headlamps with a clear-lens design give the smart forfour a self-assured look by day and night. On request, elegantly curved, integrated daytime driving lights featuring LED fibre optic technology and a welcome function will accompany you throughout the day.

The 1.0-litre 70 feels quite pedestrian by the standards of the class, particularly below 2500rpm, and you have to keep the revs up to avoid stalling when you pull away. However, once you get used to it, the engine is fine for town use, but on faster roads its lack of power makes keeping up with traffic hard work, and overtaking tricky.

 

The addition of a turbo to the slightly smaller 0.9-litre 90 makes it much sprightlier. It picks up smartly from low revs and has a wide spread of power. If you venture out of town, and to open roads and motorways, it has enough punch to get up to speed and cruise at a steady 70mph with ease.

Prime and Passion trims come with 15in wheels and standard suspension, the most comfortable package for a Forfour.
