Detailed analysis of the smart forfour passion 66 kW (90 CV) · 90 CV (2014-2018)
General description
The 2015 Smart Forfour, in its Passion 66 kW (90 hp) version, is presented as an urban proposal with a distinctive touch. This 5-door, rear-engine model, with rear-wheel drive, seeks to offer agility and efficiency in the city, maintaining Smart's compact essence but with greater versatility.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 2015 Smart Forfour offers a surprisingly agile and fun driving experience. Its small size and rear engine, which frees up space for an exceptional turning circle (8.65 meters), make it a king in urban traffic and parking maneuvers. The 0.9-liter, 90 hp gasoline engine, although not a powerhouse, feels lively thanks to its turbo and a contained weight of 995 kg, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds. The 5-speed manual transmission is precise and contributes to a feeling of direct control. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and De Dion rigid axle at the rear, is well balanced to absorb city irregularities without sacrificing too much stability. It's a car that invites a smile on every tight turn.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2015 Smart Forfour is unmistakably Smart, but adapted to a five-door body. It maintains the compact proportions and youthful aesthetic, with a distinctive front grille and expressive headlights. The color palette and customization options, especially in the Passion trim, allow each Forfour to have its own personality. The interior, although compact, is intelligently designed to maximize space and functionality. The materials are of good quality for its segment and the dashboard design is modern and ergonomic, with details that evoke a sense of freshness and modernity. The five doors facilitate access to the rear seats, which, although not the widest, fulfill their function for short trips or for children. The 185-liter trunk is sufficient for weekly shopping or a small suitcase.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2015 Smart Forfour incorporates the essentials for a modern urban car. Its 0.9-liter, 90 hp engine with indirect injection, turbo and intercooler, along with the Stop&Start system, optimizes fuel consumption, achieving a combined 4.3 l/100km according to the NEDC cycle. Electric power steering with speed sensitivity improves maneuverability in the city and stability on the road. Although it is not a car loaded with the latest innovations in infotainment or driving assistance, it meets expectations for its year and segment, offering a simple and effective user experience. Passive and active safety are present, with ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, suitable for its weight and performance.
Competition
The 2015 Smart Forfour competes in the five-door urban segment, facing models such as the Renault Twingo (with which it shares a platform), the 5-door Fiat 500, the Volkswagen up! or the Hyundai i10. Its main differentiator is its rear-engine and rear-wheel drive configuration, which gives it superior agility in the city and an unrivaled turning radius. While other rivals may offer more interior space or more advanced technological equipment, the Forfour stands out for its personality, its ease of driving in urban environments, and its distinctive design.
Conclusion
The 2015 Smart Forfour Passion 66 kW (90 hp) is an urban car with a special charm. Its bold design, exceptional agility, and efficiency make it an ideal option for those looking for a practical and fun vehicle for the city. Although its interior space and trunk are limited, and its price of €14,215 may seem high for its size, the driving experience and ease of use in urban environments justify its proposal. It is a car that not only takes you from point A to point B, but does so with style and a smile.
