2016 model year changes
The Smart Fortwo is all new this year. While the styling has evolved, the basic premise behind the Fortwo has not. It's still a tiny, 2-seat, urban, city car that does its best work in crowded streets where parking is scarce. A new, more powerful turbocharged engine gives the Fortwo a bit more oomph for those occasional trips onto the freeway, while a redesigned interior innovates and makes the most of the space that is available.
Competitive comparison
Excellent fuel economy; creative use of interior space; small enough to park almost anywhere; incredibly maneuverable
Special features for 2016
The Smart Fortwo is a pure city car, competing with the likes of the Scion IQ and to a lesser degree, the bigger Fiat 500. Starting at under $15,000, the smart Fortwo is one of the least expensive cars available in the U.S. It is also one of the easiest cars to live with for those living in a big city. Make no mistake, the Fortwo wasn't built for the vast open spaces of rural America, but its tiny footprint and small, efficient engine begins to make a lot of sense when stop and go traffic and finding a big enough space to parallel park in become primary concerns. At just 106 inches long, the Smart needs roughly half the space of a normal car for parking, meaning that owners spend less time hunting for a spot and more time enjoying their lives once they've reached their destination.
