Released in 1998, the smart car took the world by storm as one of the smallest most agile cars available. Today’s Smart Fortwo (two seater car) is just 8.8ft in length yet has sold over 1.7 million units. Since revolutionising the small car space with its two-seater, Smart have released other variations including a four-seater (Smart Forfour) and convertible (Smart Fortwo Cabriolet). All packed with Mercedes-Benz technology, the Smart car as undoubtedly grown in popularity in such a short period of time.
Originally launched as an alternative car, the Smart engine had the lowest CO2 emissions rate in the marketplace and used technology ahead of its time (such as the automatic start-stop system). Smart grew in prominence in cities in particular with its small cars proving to be excellent urban vehicles that could slot into the tightest parking spaces (the original Smart car was equal width to a parking space meaning two Smart cars could fit in one space), navigate narrow city roads and be incredibly fuel efficient.
