Smart facelift

Smart is a pure electric brand since the summer. You should see that too. All three models receive a clear lift.

Smart launched its model range to launch as a pure electric brand. The two-seater Fortwo Coupé and Cabrio and the four-seater Forfour come up with a revamped design, new infotainment system and revised option catalog. The premiere takes place at the IAA in Frankfurt (12 until 22, September), the Daimler subsidiary says nothing at prices and sales start.

Most striking change: The "grille" element at the front moves down, between the newly designed headlamps is now the brand logo, the previously used logo is omitted. The closed front visually emphasizes the change to a pure electric label; the previously offered petrol engine is no longer available for the smart models. At the rear new taillights with cross-shaped graphics are noticeable, on the inside a more up-to-date version of the infotainment system, which among other things should make a better smartphone integration. Fittingly there is a new app for charge control, location and pre-air conditioning.

The list of options presents itself in a new order, which should be much clearer than last. Many line items have been bundled into packages, and the number of equipment lines has been reduced to four. Smart promises that every model is put together with three clicks in the configurator. This works because initially only one engine is available: The already before the facelift offered 41 kW / 60 PS strong electric motor is powered by a 17,6 kWh large battery, the range should be up to 160 kilometers (NEDC). For the charging of alternating current is a charger with 4,6 kW power on board as standard, for an extra charge the microcar to wallboxes and public charging stations fueled with up to 22 kW.

Prices for the electric city car calls the manufacturer yet. However, they are likely to move at the level of its predecessor. As Fortwo EQ coupe he was last for around 22.000 Euro to have the Forfour there were from 22.600 Euro. All variants qualify for the e-car premium of 4.000 Euro.
