You can’t
help but smile every time you pass by the friendly face of a smart. While the
front holds the beauty, the rear certainly holds the brains.
Both the smart fortwo and forfour models have the engine housed at the rear of the vehicle and are rear-wheel drive. Positioning the engine over the rear wheels increases downward pressure, creating more grip. Those smart engineers are clever!
smart cars are notoriously easy to park but for those needing a helping hand backing in to the tightest of spots, you can enjoy a discreet camera that is activated when the vehicle is put in reverse. Available space behind the vehicle is projected on to the smart Media-System, where dynamic guide lines display the steering angle allowing you to navigate an accurate manoeuvre every time.
Privacy glass
on the rear of the vehicle is standard on the forfour edition black and edition
white models, as well as an option on the forfour coupé, adding a premium edge
and an air of mystery. The edition black and edition white also house an attractive
chrome-plated tailpipe on the exhaust system that glistens at those who are
driving behind.
Spoiler
alert! Although most commonly found on race cars, a rear spoiler protrudes from
the rear creating a sporty look and feel. Just underneath, a strip of LED brake
lights crown the rear window.
