“Big” Smart – the first tests

This car is not at all a city “heel”, as it might seem at first glance, so do not be deceived. Officially Smart will be presented in the second half of next year. This car is truly large, with four doors.

French Renault Twingo will most likely provide its platform for this new product. Most likely, the model will have the name Forfour. It is worth noting that the new car will have as many as five doors. Two -cylinder engines are most often placed on ordinary Smart. It is they who will also be supplied with a new machine. But, besides them, a set of three -cylinder unit will be available. Its power will be above a hundred horsepower, and it will accommodate 0.9 liters of fuel. Electric motor and gasoline engine will receive hybrid versions of Smart. Soon the Germans intend to establish the production of these machines.

The five -door version of Smart has already entered the market at one time. Mitsubishi Colt platform has become the basis for this car. But this model did not achieve success in the general public. Company representatives hope that now luck will accompany them in all endeavors.

Smart sales also began in Russia. Real cars should appear in dealerships very soon while the first orders are available. Smart Fortwo will receive two engines in our country. A turbocharged unit will issue a capacity of 84 horsepower. Atmospheric will be weaker. Its power will be 71 horsepower, and the volume is one liter. 640 thousand rubles will have to pay for a 71-horsepower version. A system of course stability, a complete set of airbags, heating chairs, air conditioning – all this will be included in the completion of the purchased machine.
