If the name seems familiar, thats because this is the second-generation Smart Forfour. The first one - based on the same underpinnings as the 2004-13 Mitsubishi Colt - didnt sell particularly well, with most buyers opting for the smaller Smart Fortwo instead. This time around its all change. Its built alongside - and was developed in conjunction with - the Renault Twingo, sharing much of its technology including engines and transmissions. With the Smart Fortwo effectively a shortened version of the same package, this Forfour is effectively a more practical four-seater version (hence the name for four), and is the brands most popular model in the UK. As well as the Twingo, the diminutive Forfour competes against various other models in the competitive city car segment, but given the Smarts premium pricing, the Fiat 500 and the Volkswagen Up are its most obvious rivals. Small yet expensive Mercedes-Benz-owned Smart needed to put a premium slant on things for its city car, so the Forfour gets 40kg of extra sound deadening over the Twingo to help dull the sound of the engine under the boot floor in an effort to make it more refined, justifying the higher price tag. A variety of styling and interior trim finishes add further embellishments to the Forfours appeal with a raft of two-tone colour schemes inside and out. Buy into Smarts Tailor Made service through the Brabus tuning division and a world of seemingly limitless hues and trim materials is opened up to you. Just be aware that personalisation to this degree isnt remotely cheap - and theres the possibility you could be lumbered with a car thats difficult to sell on afterwards. Petrol and electric power Mainstream Smart Forfours have a choice of two Renault-sourced petrol engines: a non-turbo 1.0-litre unit producing a modest 71hp and a turbocharged 0.9-litre motor serving up 90hp. Each has a claimed fuel efficiency of over 43mpg. Both send power exclusively to the rear wheels with a choice of a five-speed manual gearbox or an optional six-speed twinamic dual-clutch automatic. The Electric Drive model - later rebadged EQ - joined the range in 2017, with a 17.6Kwh battery pack and distinctive green bodywork. Powered by an 82hp motor producing 160Nm of torque, it responds with alacrity up to 40mph and has a range of 96 miles. By design its an automatic, achieving 62mph in 12.7 seconds.
