Detailed analysis of the smart fortwo electric drive cabrio · 75 CV (2012-2016)
General description
The 2012 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio is the embodiment of urban mobility with a touch of freedom. This small electric convertible arrived to offer a practical and fun solution for the city, combining the characteristic agility of the Fortwo with the efficiency of an electric motor. Its compact design and its ability to circulate without emissions make it an attractive option for those looking for a different and environmentally friendly vehicle.
Driving experience
Driving the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio is a surprisingly agile and pleasant experience. The instant response of the 75 HP electric motor and its 130 Nm of torque provide lively acceleration, especially in the urban environment. It reaches 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and its top speed of 125 km/h is more than enough for the city and some short getaways. The absence of engine noise and the smoothness of the single-speed automatic transmission contribute to a sense of calm and sophistication. In addition, the possibility of opening the roof adds an extra enjoyment, allowing you to feel the wind and sun while navigating the streets. Its small size and excellent turning radius facilitate maneuvers and parking, making every journey a stress-free adventure.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio maintains the unmistakable essence of the Fortwo, but with the added appeal of its convertible roof. Its compact dimensions, with only 2695 mm long, 1559 mm wide and 1565 mm high, make it ideal for the urban jungle. The aesthetic is modern and functional, with clean lines and a distinctive silhouette. The interior, although small, is well utilized and offers a cozy atmosphere for two occupants. The battery, strategically located in the central part, does not compromise the passenger compartment space or the trunk, which offers 220 liters of capacity. The different sized tires (155/60 R15 front and 175/55 R15 rear) give it a robust image and good stability for its size.
Technology and features
This Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio incorporates advanced electrical technology for its time. Its 75 HP electric motor is powered by a 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, located in the central part of the vehicle. The single-speed automatic transmission simplifies driving, eliminating the need for gear changes. Although fast charging times are not specified, full charging with alternating current (AC) takes approximately 7 hours. Electric power steering contributes to easier handling. In terms of safety, it has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, and McPherson type suspension on the front axle and a rigid De Dion axle on the rear, which guarantee good dynamic behavior and comfort.
Competition
In the segment of electric convertible microcars, the 2012 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio had few direct rivals. However, in the urban electric vehicle market, it competed with models such as the Renault Twizy, although the latter offered a tandem seating configuration and less protection against the elements. Other compact electric vehicles of the time, such as the Nissan Leaf or the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, offered more interior space and range, but lacked the convertible charm and extreme compactness of the Smart. Its proposal was unique, combining electric mobility with the fun of a cabrio in an ultra-compact format.
Conclusion
The 2012 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Cabrio is a car that captivates with its concept. It is the perfect choice for those looking for an urban vehicle with personality, efficient and fun to drive. Its size makes it unbeatable in the city, and the possibility of opening the roof adds a touch of joy to every journey. Although its range and performance are not those of a long-distance car, it more than fulfills its purpose as an urban vehicle. It is a statement of intent, a car that demonstrates that electric mobility can be exciting and practical at the same time. Its price of 22,319 euros, with an official discount of 5,500 euros, made it an interesting option to access convertible electric mobility.
