Smart gave the 2012 Fortwo a redesigned front end with larger radiator opening and the new Smart logo. It also has horizontally-arranged LED driving lights, side skirts and a cleaner rear design. The lower opening is now a single piece with the foglights integrated on either side.
Smart is also offering three new wheel designs: a nine-spoke design standard on the Fortwo Passion, a three-spoke design and a 3-twin-spoke design.
Smart has also made changes to the inside of the Fortwo. There is a new interior package with Crystal Grey leather and fabric seats, a fake leather, fabric covering for the door panels and fake black leather on the instrument panel.
There are five trim levels on the 2012 Smart Fortwo: Pure, Pulse, Passion, Brabus and Brabus Xclusive, and there continue to be coupe and soft-top versions.
The 2012 model is available with six engine options. The base engine is a 799cc diesel with 40kW (53hp). There are four tunes of the 999cc, petrol engine with 45kW (60hp), 52kW (70hp), 62kW (83hp) and the Brabus model with 75kW (100hp).
There is also the electric Fortwo with 35kW (46hp) constant power and 55kW (74hp) peak power.
topA facelifted version of the smart fortwo was presented in 2010. The updated city car received a new interior look, an upgraded exterior and saw its efficiency increased.
The fortwo is available with new colour optins in terms of finish, tridion safety cell and the cabrio soft top. The LED daytime driving lights and alloy wheels offer more options to customize the vehicle.
The 2010 fortwo is also available with revised engine versions. With a consumption of 4.9 l/100 km, the 62 kW version has CO2 emissions of 114 g/km. The work of smart engineers in both the engine control unit and exhaust system made a 4.2 l/100 km consumption possible for both the 45 kW mhd and the 52 kW mhd versions. This represents CO2 emissions of 97 g/km in the combined cycle. The 40 kW cdi turbodiesel is the CO2 champion with emissions of 86 g/km.
Until 2010, since the launch of the first model in 1998, more than 1.2 million smart fortwo's have been sold.
