Detailed analysis of the smart fortwo coupé 40 cdi passion · 54 CV (2012)
General description
The 2012 Smart Fortwo Coupé, in its 0.8 Diesel 54 hp version, is a vehicle that redefines urban mobility. With its compact size and efficiency, it presents itself as an ingenious solution for the hustle and bustle of the city. This small giant, with its diesel engine and 5-speed automatic transmission, promises a unique and surprisingly agile driving experience.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Smart Fortwo Coupé, the sensation is one of unparalleled agility. Its tiny size allows for astonishingly easy maneuvering in traffic and finding parking where others can only dream. Although its 54 hp doesn't make it a speed demon, the diesel engine's response is sufficient for moving around urban environments with ease. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 16.8 seconds and its top speed of 135 km/h demonstrate that its natural habitat is the city, where its low consumption of 3.3 l/100km is a true delight. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and De Dion rigid axle at the rear, offers an adequate balance between comfort and stability for its segment.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Smart Fortwo Coupé is iconic and functional. Its 2695 mm length, 1559 mm width, and 1565 mm height make it unmistakable. The aesthetic is modern and carefree, with lines that maximize interior space despite its reduced exterior dimensions. The two doors and two seats are designed for couples or for the urban individualist. The 220-liter trunk is surprisingly capable for its size, allowing for shopping or weekend luggage without problems. The 15-inch wheels, with 155/60 R15 tires at the front and 175/55 R15 at the rear, give it a firm stance and a proportionate appearance.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 Smart Fortwo Coupé focuses on efficiency and practicality. Its 3-cylinder, 799 cc diesel engine, with common rail direct injection, turbo, and intercooler, is an example of compact and efficient engineering. The 5-speed automatic transmission facilitates city driving, eliminating the need for constant gear changes. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistance of more modern models, its technology is aimed at offering a simple and economical driving experience. Power steering and front disc brakes, along with rear drums, ensure adequate control and effective braking.
Competition
In the urban microcar segment, the Smart Fortwo Coupé competes with vehicles such as the Toyota iQ or the Citroën C1. However, the Smart stands out for its pure two-seater concept and its radically urban approach. Its diesel engine positions it as a very economical option in terms of consumption compared to its gasoline rivals, although its price of €13,759 at the time placed it at the higher end of the segment. Its rear-wheel drive and rear transverse engine give it a unique character in its category.
Conclusion
The 2012 Smart Fortwo Coupé 0.8 Diesel is more than a car; it is a statement of intent. It is the perfect choice for those seeking maximum efficiency and agility in the city, without sacrificing a distinctive design and a fun driving experience. Its low consumption and ease of parking make it an indispensable ally in daily urban life. Although its space is limited to two people, its trunk is sufficient for daily needs. It is a car that, despite its size, leaves a great impression on the hearts of its drivers.
