Stuttgart - The new smart fortwo
is available to order from all smart centers from Monday 15
January 2007. Customers will be pleased to hear that prices for
the new vehicle are no higher than for previous models. The new
smart fortwo coupé with 45 kW (61 bhp) is available in the pure
equipment line at a price of € 9,490. The new smart fortwo can
do everything that the current model can do - but better. This
means that the new smart fortwo is even more comfortable, even
more agile, even safer and even more environmentally friendly
than its predecessor.
The new smart fortwo will arrive
on the market in April and will be available as both a coupé and
a cabrio. There are two naturally aspirated petrol engine
versions to choose from, delivering 45 or 52 kW (61 / 71 bhp)
respectively, and one turbo engine rated at 62 kW (84 bhp). The
diesel version, the smart fortwo cdi, has a power output of 33
kW (45 PS).

smart fortwo cdi: There's no more
economical way of running a car
Despite the increased engine
power, standard petrol consumption for the petrol versions is
just 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres. And in the 45 kW and 52 kW
versions, the smart fortwo coupé needs even less fuel: Here,
standard consumption according to the NEDC is just 4.7 litres
per 100 kilometres.
The diesel version boasts even
lower consumption. With standard consumption of just 3.4 litres
of diesel per 100 kilometres, the new smart fortwo cdi has the
lowest consumption in its class. Or, to put it another way, at
present there is no more economical car than the smart fortwo
cdi.
With CO2 emissions of just 90 grams per
kilometre, the smart fortwo cdi achieves "three litre" status. The
diesel version of the new smart fortwo thus has the lowest CO2 emissions
of any car on the market today.
