smart twofour & fourfour: order books open for June launch

Order taking for the all-electric smart twofour and fourfour has begun ahead of the launch in June.

In Germany, prices for the smart fortwo electric drive start at 21,940 euros while the forfour electric drive at 22,600 euros.

The 60 kW (81 bhp) electric motor is installed at the rear of the smart electric drive and transmits its power via a constant ratio to the wheels. The 160 Nm of torque is immediately available from a standstill. The electric drive has a range of approximately 160 km – ideal for local emission-free mobility in urban areas. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 130 km/h to maximise the range.

The smart fortwo cabrio electric drive will be available to order from May, with prices starting at 25,200 euros.

The smart electric drive models come with an extensive list of standard equipment like the Cool&Audio package, featuring the smart Audio-System with AUX/USB/Bluetooth^® interface and automatic climate control. There is also a power meter and state of charge indicator.

The following are additional packages for the smart electric drive models:

• electric drive design package: the tridion safety cell in the exclusive colour electric green can be combined with black or white bodypanels and radiator trim. The door mirror caps are also painted in electric green. 16‑inch wheels in black or white, “electric drive” lettering and corresponding logos round off the look. The electric drive design packages costs 350 euros in conjunction with the Urban Style or Sleek Style package and 800/720 euros in conjunction with the passion/prime line.
• Winter package: in addition to the heated steering wheel and the heated seats (also at the rear for the forfour), the enhanced insulation of doors and cockpit ensures a comfortable warm temperature, even in icy outside temperatures. These features can also be activated by smartphone as part of pre-entry climate control. The Winter package is available for 350 (fortwo) or 580 euros (forfour). In conjunction with the prime line, the additional price is 140 (fortwo) or 350 euros (forfour).

A more powerful 22 kW fast charger will be available from autumn 2017 for 840 euros. This enables the smart electric drive to be charged much more quickly: in less than 45 minutes (20-100%).

Because of its quiet drive system, the new smart electric drive is available with an acoustic presence indicator, an optional extra at 120 euros), which generates a speed-sensitive, Daimler-specific sound to forewarn other road users.

Every wish can be catered for when it comes to colours and optional equipment, as the smart BRABUS tailor made individualisation programme is also available for the smart fortwo electric drive, offering maximum scope for customisation.
