2012 smart fortwo
STUTTGART : February 1, 2012 - The
spring of 2012 will see the smart fortwo making its mark in a striking
new look, featuring an upgraded exterior and a fresh leather/fabric mix
in the interior. The smart fortwo is available for ordering now. The
first vehicles will reach dealers at the beginning of April.
The substantially revamped smart fortwo sports a
markedly more dynamic appearance, featuring a larger radiator grille
with integrated logo, striking front aprons in a new design,
horizontally arranged LED daytime driving lights, muscular side skirts
and modified rear aprons. "The way in which the fortwo now displays the
smart logo more prominently stands for the brand's new self-confidence,"
notes smart boss Dr Annette Winkler." The smart fortwo has long become
an icon that is a defining feature of urban traffic throughout the
world."
The chrome-coloured logo is now positioned
directly in the black radiator grille. The air inlets under the number
plate have been combined into a single unit, lending the smart fortwo a
bolder appearance. The new, optionally available LED daytime driving
lights are now arranged horizontally. There is also a choice of three
new alloy wheels: the smart fortwo passion comes with a new 9-spoke
alloy wheel; two additional alloy wheels fitted with wide tyres and
featuring a 3-spoke and 3-twin-spoke design respectively round off the
range. The choice of colours comprises seven options, including matt
anthracite for the first time. The smart fortwo BRABUS Xclusive is now
also optionally available in white. In addition to the three soft top
colours for the smart cabrio which were previously available from the
smart programme (black, red, blue), the smart BRABUS tailor made
programme offers six other soft top colours.
While the main focus of this facelift is on the
exterior, there are changes inside the car, too. These include a new,
high-quality interior package in crystal grey, comprising a fresh
leather/fabric combination for the seats, an imitation leather/fabric
mix for the door trims and black imitation leather for the instrument panel in combination with a grey knee pad.
The pulse and passion equipment lines are
generally more colourful options than the basic pure model. pulse and
passion highlight the frame of the front grille and the rear trim strip
in silver, for example, while the front spoiler, side skirts and rear
apron are painted in the car's exterior colour. The door mirror caps are
finished in the tridion colour. On the smart pure, these components are
black.
The five lines – pure, pulse, passion, BRABUS and
BRABUS Xclusive – are to be retained. Similarly, the smart fortwo will
continue to be available as a coupé and cabrio version and with six
engine and motor variants. The spectrum ranges from the particularly
environment-friendly electric power train in the fortwo electric drive
and the efficient micro hybrid petrol engine through the powerful turbo
petrol engine to the fuel-efficient cdi turbodiesel. Prices begin at €
10,275 for the smart fortwo 45 kW mhd pure.
The new model generation for 2012 represents the
continuation of a unique success story for smart: as a trendsetter the
smart fortwo has been redefining individual urban mobility for more than
ten years now. It combines responsibility to the environment and high
ecological standards with joie de vivre and a high fun factor.
With its compact dimensions the two-seater takes up less road and
parking space than any other car around.
More than 1.3 million smart fortwos have been
delivered to customers since the first model was launched in 1998.
101,996 smart fortwos were handed over to customers worldwide in 2011 –
4.6 percent more than in the previous year.
