The new Smart is here

  • The Daily Telegraph
image The latest Smart Fortwo will come in two body styles.

Smart ForTwo is now going to be available in Australia.

The all-new Smart Fortwo will arrive in Australia this month with a starting price tag of $19,990, offering two body styles and two more powerful engines. Both 52kW and 62kW versions of the coupe and cabrio will be available from later this month, powered by a 1.0-litre in-line three cylinder engine.

The 62kW version features a turbocharger, increasing the torque to 120Nm, compared with the non-turbo's 92Nm.

The new price for the two-seater is just a $90 increase over the existing model, but also offers additional equipment. Included as standard are four airbags instead of two, a rev counter and clock on the dash, steering wheel gearshift paddles and an automatic door lock function.

While the 52kW coupe comes in at $19,990, the cabrio model sits at $22,990. The turbo 62kW version adds $2000 to both prices.

The Smart Fortwo coupe consumes a claimed 4.7-litres per 100km, while the cabrio records 4.9-litres per 100km. Other standard equipment includes stability control, ABS and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution.
