Smart cars: specifications, description, photo

Smart cars are compact cars (small class), which are manufactured by the eponymous company, which is part of the automotive concern under the world-famous name Daimler AG.

In brief about the company and the first machines

It is interesting that the company that produces Smart cars was created not only by Daimler, but also with the participation of a Swiss watch company called Swatch. True, she subsequently withdrew from the project. The main goal was to develop and create a two-seater city car with increased economy.

The first model was presented to the public in Frankfurt in 1997. The car had a three-cylinder 0.6-liter engine, equipped with a turbo. It produced a power of 45 horsepower and had a fuel injection. The unit is located at the back. Accordingly, the model is rear-wheel drive. There was also a version with a 55 horsepower engine. The speed of the car of this model is not so bad - 135 kilometers per hour. At that time, the new Smart car was very successful, so it was decided to add the model line to the car with a three-cylinder diesel engine. Its volume was 0.8 liters, and the power - 41 hp.

The units were operated under a 6-speed transmission with a variable ratio and electric clutch. As standard, there is ABS, dynamic stabilization, traction control, a special trauma-safe steering column, airbags and a "crash-manager."

"Smart City"

Talking about Smart cars, you can not fail to note this model. It is very interesting, as it is produced in two versions - a cabriolet and a coupe. And tuning was done by the world famous BRABUS studio. Many people claim that this is a very exotic model. It is difficult not to agree - it looks really unusual.

The machine is designed for trips around the city. And in this respect it is very comfortable and practical. Its length is 2.5 meters, and the width is only 1.5. The height is 1.55 m. And the weight is only 730 kg. By the way, such a "baby" a considerable luggage compartment - 150-250 liters (depends on the modification). The wheelbase is 1811 mm. Drum brakes are installed on the wheels . Up to a hundred the car accelerates for a long time, but it can be understood. Version with 0.8 CDi engine - for 19.8 seconds. Other versions (with motor 0.7, and 0.6 for 45, 55 and 62 hp) - for 15.5, 18.9, 17.2 and 16.8 seconds respectively.

And, at last, the average expense. The least is "eat" diesel versions - only 3.4 liters per 100 km. Petrol consume 4.7-5 liters.

"Smart Fort"

Speaking about Smart cars, you can not forget about this model. Despite the external compactness, it is very comfortable and has everything that a motorist can only need. The high speed of this car is not 135 km / h, as with the previous model, but 145 km / h.

Smart ForTwo car pleases with automatic transmission, ESP and ABS systems, airbags, air conditioners and many other pleasant things. Especially the driver is noted for comfortable seats equipped with lateral support. They can be pushed back - and fit any. But I would like to tell about the automatic transmission in more detail. It is interesting that it works not only in the "automatic" mode - it also allows you to switch gears manually. For this, there are special "petals" under the steering wheel.

The suspension is quite elastic, which pleases - as well as 15-inch wheels. Thanks to good technical data, the new Smart car feels great on the road, it keeps smooth and does not bump into corners. The average flow rate is even lower than in the previous model - 3.3-4.9 liters, depending on the modification.

"Roadster"

Than this model Smart can please? The car is stylish, sporty, featuring an active design and powerful enough power unit, which accelerates the car to a maximum of 160 km / h. The engine, by the way, produces 61 hp. It is equipped, in addition, turbocharged and has a fuel injection. The front suspension features a shock absorber and a transverse stabilizer. And the rear - a helical spring, a swivel lever and telescopic stabilizer. On the front wheels are disc brakes, on the rear - drum. The consumption is 6.2 liters in the city, and 4.1 - on the highway. The length of the body is 3426 mm - almost a meter longer than the usual compact "Smart".

This Smart car is extremely original. It has a removable central part of the roof, made of transparent plastic. The roof is electric and soft.

"Smart ForFo"

This car is designed for three passengers and a driver. Strictly speaking, that's why he was named "ForFo". After all, this translates as "for four". Yes, the machine is still small, but there is enough space in all.

The developers tried to bring the model as close as possible to the sport style of driving. The suspension of the car is moderately tough, but it is thanks to it that it manages to smooth out small road irregularities. But large potholes and holes are better to go around. At high speeds the car behaves confidently - no rolls and no swings. The smooth turns are not bad, but if you need to go through a sharp turn - it is better to slow down.

This Smart car, the characteristics of which are quite good, is distinguished by a good bundle. Climate control, heated seats, 4 airbags, an original glass roof - in general, everything you need for comfort. By the way, there are several modifications - at 67, 95, 64, 75, 94 and already 109 horsepower.

About the interior

So, everyone understands what a Smart car looks like. The photos provided in the article clearly demonstrate this. But what about the interior? Everyone knows that German manufacturers have always tried to make their cars beautiful and harmonious both outside and inside. Smart exception did not. Inside, everything looks very beautiful and original. The panel is pleased - it was lined with a cloth, and the instruments were placed in pretty "wells". The clock with the coolant temperature indicator was placed in the center. High landing, wide adjustment possibilities - this also can not but rejoice. Still all is sustained in uniform color scale - as a rule of bright, but not cutting eyes of shades.

Minuses? Undoubtedly, they are. Owners note the too small rear window. It does not fit very well with the large rear posts. Because of this, there are "dead zones". The rearview mirrors, of course, are large, but in that case they do not help much. But, well, all cars have flaws.

Cost

The last thing worth talking about is the price. So, the model "ForFo", which was mentioned above, 2015 release (new) can be bought for 950 thousand rubles. Total! At that, the model has a motor in 71 hp. And the maximum complete set.

This same used model is in good condition, but the year 2000 can be purchased for 300-350 thousand rubles. Smart City will cost something even cheaper - somewhere around 250-270 tr. And the used "Roadster" in good condition, with automatic transmission and engine of 82 horsepower, in tuning from BRABUS, will cost about 520 thousand rubles.

In general, as you can see, the prices are very low. And if a person needs a small, compact and brisk car - you can safely make a choice in favor of Smart models.
