Smart Fortwo Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2012) — Second Generation
The second-generation Smart Fortwo remains a city-car icon, blending compact dimensions with clever packaging. Cabrio and Mini 3-doors bodies offer open-air fun or fixed-roof practicality, with a choice of electric or gasoline powertrains.
The Smart Fortwo engine lineup splits into two distinct personalities. Electric versions like the AT use an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive for silent, zero-emission city trips in both Cabrio and Mini 3-doors bodies. The 1.0 Brabus DSG offers a punchier gasoline alternative with a robotic gearbox, appealing to drivers who want a sportier feel.
Smart Fortwo trim levels are relatively straightforward, with the Brabus name appearing on the sportiest equipment configurations. On the 1.0 Brabus DSG, you get a more dynamic look and feel inside and out compared to standard versions. Other trims focus on comfort and technology, while Brabus adds tuned suspension and unique styling cues.
