The proper 'Smart car' has returned: say hello to the new #2 | Autocar

Anyone remember the Smart For two. Well it's back. I honestly don't know why they have backtracked so soon on making it as it wasn't a huge seller in the first place.

[score 124] Simon676: The Fortwo sold over 2.5 million units during its production run. I would hardly describe that as not being a huge seller, it sold very well. Tesla has sold 3 million units of the Model 3 for comparison.

[score 35] costafilh0: Number 2? So it's 💩?

[score 31] ScienceMechEng_Lover: Huh, they're basically trying to build an electric Aston Martin Cygnet by making the interior more premium. I don't know if it will sell though because Honda tried the same with the Honda e and failed miserably.

[score 26] peopeopeopeo10: It was actually very popular in some markets

[score 21] Major-Ant4600: I wonder if the quoted 186 mile range is per the euro test cycle, if so that’s slightly less range than the Fiat 500e.

[score 10] formuIino: The car industry is healing 🥹

[score 7] half_regard: could they make those wheels any bigger?!

[score 5] airfryerfuntime: So cheap junk made by Geely but with Mercedes pricing. I'm sure they'll sell well...

[score 3] ManyEconomist1373: I’d buy one in a heartbeat if the price is right

[score 3] Beneficial-Foot-5122: It looks cute, but what’s it really like on the inside?

[score 1] sirbart42: what is this car even, like a small bubble, how fast it can go?

[score 1] Seeker80: Unfortunate name. Can they do another Smart Coupe/Roadster? Might be interesting to see what could be done with EV packaging there. Might be one of the first fun and light-ish EVs.

[score 1] That1one1dude1: I just can’t justify it at the cost. If it was just a cheap little commuter I’d get it hut it costs the same as a full size sedan.

[score -1] B00marangTrotter: I'll say this... If you're drinking water that says SMART on the bottle you're telling the world everything they need to know about you.

[score -1] yetiflask: City car doesn't need 186-mile range. Carrying around a battery for no reason.

[score -5] mkrock93: It almost feels like people behind such ideas are not living in the same reality as the rest of us „ah yes the times are tough and people dont have money for frugal expenses so lets at least build them an expensive electric shoe with „at least one kidney” pricing, thats what is needed” and then they will cry that nobody buys new cars anymore
