Real Images of This Season's Hottest Small Car
The Smart #2, focusing on compact dimensions, a rear electric motor and high maneuverability, takes an approach close to the original philosophy of the Fortwo: a vehicle built for urban commuting, not for growing larger and entering the crossover class.
Safir Arjan-Smart 2# is supposed to bring this brand back to its original roots; An all-electric and compact car that focuses on small dimensions, agility on city streets and ease of parking instead of following the wave of crossovers. This model is the successor of the Smart Fortwo and is designed for everyday use with a greater range of motion, a modern cabin and a stronger body.
Smart 2# is designed with a short wheelbase and limited overall length to be agile in busy streets and tight urban spaces. The declared turning radius for this car is 6.95 meters; An important feature that makes it easier to maneuver and park.
According to the published information, Smart #2 uses an electric motor with a power of 60 kW, equivalent to about 82 horsepower, which transmits its power to the rear wheels. The car's battery is also designed to travel up to 290 km with a single charge, based on the WLTP standard.
This range of motion increases the daily use of the car compared to the first generation Smart Fortwo electric. Fast charging with a maximum power of 65 kW also provides the possibility of charging the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 20 minutes.
One of the important changes of Smart #2 is the use of a stronger structure for the passenger cell and more resistant doors. These changes have been made with the aim of increasing the strength of the body in a car with very small dimensions.
In the cabin, the newly designed dashboard with an S-shaped curved structure, a 10.1-inch central display and an 8.8-inch driver's display can be seen. The user interface design is also inspired by the visual language of newer Smart products, including models #1, #3 and #5.
Ability to supply power for peripheral equipment
Smart #2 will also be equipped with V2L capability or external equipment power supply. This technology provides the possibility of using the car battery to start some compatible electrical devices; A feature that can be used outside the urban environment.
Four configurations with different equipment levels and prices are considered for Smart #2. According to the published information, the price of the basic version is supposed to be less than 20,000 euros; A figure that places this car in the range of economic urban electric cars.
