2016 Smart Fortwo review

1. Great for city living 

The 2016 Fortwo's ultra-compact design remains its standout feature, especially beneficial for navigating and parking in congested urban areas. Its size allows it to effortlessly fit into the smallest parking spots, a luxury in busy city streets. To give you a sense of just how practical this could be, two of these parked nose-to-nose would still be smaller than your average SUV. 

2. Spacious for its size 

Despite its diminutive exterior, the 2016 Fortwo offers a surprisingly spacious cabin for the driver and passenger. You’ll get 41.2 inches of legroom, a rare find in such a compact vehicle. If you need to carry stuff with you too, there’s even cargo space for your shopping bags or luggage. Load up the 12.4 cu-ft of space with everything you need for a city break with your favorite person. 

3. Fresh look 

The new styling of the 2016 Fortwo adds a modern twist to its already unique appearance. You get slightly more rounded lines that give this model a more muscular look. The result is a tony car that still has plenty of presence. The car's distinctive look is further enhanced with removable body panels that give you some customization options once you get your new-to-you 2016 Fortwo back home. 

4. Frugal 0.9L engine 

The Fortwo's small stature contributes to thrifty performance. The 2016 model offers an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined from its 0.9L engine with the automatic transmission.

With a slightly more comfortable ride than in previous years, highway driving is now better than ever in the Smart Fortwo. If you head out, you can expect an EPA-estimated 39 mpg on the highway. 

5. Electric Drive option 

If you’d prefer electric power, the 2016 Fortwo Electric Drive offers a quiet and smooth ride. It's ideal for short city trips and daily errands, providing decent electric range for most urban drivers' needs without the hassle of frequent recharging. It’ll get an EPA-estimated 68 miles of range on a full charge.
