Introducing the smart EQ fortwo
smart vehicles have gone all-electric and the EQ fortwo is smart's most compact model, offering perfectly usable and environmentally friendly transport for up to two people; perfect for those living in towns and cities.
Available as both a coupé and as a soft-top cabrio, the EQ fortwo delivers instant torque from the electric motor; making it an enjoyable car to own and drive.
Urban dwellers and inner-city commuters will appreciate the emission-free driving, reducing running costs whilst delivering more than enough power to zip through traffic.
Design and Practicality
Unique, progressive design that is patently smart. You won't mistake the EQ fortwo for any other car on the road, that is for sure. The recently re-designed exterior has a brand new front end that features a body-coloured grille and distinctive LED daytime running lights.
Because the fortwo is so uniquely compact at just 2.69 metres long, the smallest car on sale in Britain, it is fantastically manoeuvrable and extremely easy to park. You can snap up spaces that drivers of regular sized cars can only dream of.
Despite being a two-seater it has plenty of room inside, much more than you might think. Surprisingly, the boot is about the same size as any regular small family hatchback; you will be amazed at what you can fit in there.
Interior and Technology
The interior of the EQ fortwo features high quality materials throughout the whole cabin, particularly the seats which are covered in signature honeycomb quilting and topstitching.
All models come as standard with rear parking aid, touchscreen infotainment and automatic climate control; the fortwo has convenience and comfort covered.
Connectivity is great too, the Bluetooth smartphone link offers Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and Mirrorlink technology. There is also a charging station finder built into the infotainment system, helping you to stay informed about where you can charge up the fortwo.
Range and Performance
Designed for the city, the driving range is around 80 miles, depending on your driving style and the type of journeys you are making. It is more than enough for many inner-city commuters, who can easily get from their house to their workplace and back on a single charge.
Electric vehicles always provide an entertaining driving experience, and the smart EQ fortwo delivers well on this front. The instant torque from the 81bhp electric motor gives you an exciting, almost completely silent, burst of acceleration whenever and wherever you need it.
The EQ Control app showcases tips on how to drive more efficiently. Plus, drivers can select eco mode within the car to experience a more economical drive.
Charging
Charging at home takes less than nine hours, using a standard household plug socket. However, if you install a Wallbox, charging time can be reduced to less than 3.5 hours.
There are many public charging points located around the UK and in just 40 minutes the smart EQ fortwo can be charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity.
Locating a charge point, remotely checking how much range is left and scheduling charging is super simple using the EQ Control app, which is available on Android, Apple and Apple Watch.
Just imagine, from the comfort of your own home, you can charge your smart for under £2.50 when using a Wallbox. Cost savings and no more trips to traditional fuel stations - win, win.
