2010 Smart ForTwo: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Smart ForTwo should see no major changes. ForTwo is the smallest and shortest car available for the mass market in North America. The ForTwo is an ultra-compact two-seater designed and built by the Smart company, a division of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz. Smart vehicles are sold at approximately 70 select Mercedes-Benz and stand-alone dealerships across the U.S. Two-door coupe and convertible body styles are offered. The sole engine should remain a 71-hp 1.0-liter 3-cylinder that teams with a 5-speed automated manual transmission. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and side airbags that provide head and torso protection. Coupes should come in base-level Pure trim with manual mirrors and windows and a fold-flat passenger seat. Up-level Passion coupes should add air conditioning, alloy wheels, and power windows and mirrors. The Cabriolet convertible would have a power soft top with heated-glass rear window. The top-end BRABUS coupe and convertible should return, and those models would have a sport suspension, leather upholstery, and heated seats.
