The Smart EQ fortwo coupe stood as a minimalist solution to electric urban mobility between January 2020 and May 2023. Compact, efficient, and maneuverable, it featured a 16.7 kWh usable battery delivering a real-world range of 100 km, ideal for short city commutes. Its small dimensions—just 2.7 meters long—make parking effortless, while the 7-meter turning circle ensures unmatched agility in dense urban settings.
With 60 kW (82 PS) of rear-wheel drive power and a top speed of 130 km/h, it focuses on practicality over performance. Charging is done via a Type 2 port, supporting up to 22 kW AC (optional), which fully charges the battery in under an hour. While the EQ fortwo lacks DC fast charging and long-distance capability, its low energy consumption of 167 Wh/km and zero emissions make it an ideal daily electric runabout for city dwellers. It was last listed for £22,225 in the UK and €24,885 in the Netherlands.
