2015 Smart Fortwo, Forfour Teased in New Video
Smart has released a new video that showcases the major differences in the next-generation of ForTwo and ForFour.
Over the last few years, Smart has released quite a few concept cars foreshadowing exactly what we will see when the new car is unveiled, likely at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, and this new video offers more clues.

First off, Smart’s new lineup of cars is growing in both length and width, and will now incorporate a two-box design similar to what most sedans use. The Tridion safety cell is also getting larger, with a more pronounced bulge in the back. Hexagons are also an important part of the new car’s design, used throughout the interior and exterior.
The new Smart car shares its platform with the Renault Twingo, and both the ForTwo and ForFour are expected to use a three-cylinder engine which uses direct injection to make 105 hp.

The Smart-ED Electric drive is faster, smoother and 1/4 the cost to fuel. The most affordable and efficient Electric on the road.
I currently own a 2009 and have just hit 50,000 miles on it so you can see that I don't do a ton of driving. When I do however I want to really enjoy the experience. I think that SMART can make a cute, FUN TO DRIVE vehicle that has some GREAT technology built into it. I am hoping that 2015 is the year they do this or, I am sad to say, I will be moving on to the Mini.
