BRABUS innovations
The most striking change for the BRABUS and BRABUS Xclusive lines is the new rim design for the Monoblock VII alloy wheels (front 16 inch with 175/50 R 16 tyres, rear 17 inch with 225/35 R 17 tyres). The BRABUS double-pipe rear muffler has also been modified.
The BRABUS interior design, too, has also been modified in line with the new smart fortwo interior design. The BRABUS 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with steering wheel gearshift now has additional buttons for operating the optional cruise control function. Like the other lines, the instrument cluster has the new dial.
Engines with lower fuel consumption and emissions
The engines of the new generation work more efficiently than ever before.
The 40 kW cdi turbodiesel is the CO2 champion with emissions of just 86 g/km. The optimised petrol engines also set new records with regard to CO2 emissions. Thanks to detailed work on the engine control unit and exhaust system both the 45 kW mhd and the 52 kW mhd consume 4.2 litres of petrol per 100 km (combined figure) – corresponding to CO2 emissions of 97 g/km (combined figure). The 62 kW version consumes 4.9 litres of fuel over 100 km (corresponding to CO2 emissions of 114 g/km). The power output of the BRABUS version has been increased from 72 kW to 75 kW. Despite this, at 119 g CO2 per 100 kilometres (combined figure) even the more powerful engine remains below the 120 gram threshold.

No other car is cheaper to run
The new generation smart fortwo not only boasts a fresh and upgraded look, high quality materials, enhanced intelligent equipment and environmentally friendly engines; exceptional economy and low running costs remain defining features. According to calculations by the ADAC, the largest German automobile club, even the first generation of the charming two-seater was the most economical car on the German market. At €320 per month the smart fortwo coupe 1.0 mhd had the lowest costs of all available new cars tested by the automobile association. The ADAC also took loss of value into account, and this is particularly low for the smart fortwo compared with other cars. The verdict was that no other car is cheaper to run in Germany. The car magazine "Auto, Motor und Sport" also put the trendy two-seater at the top of its table of cost-efficient cars.
