2016 Smart Fortwo and Forfour Show Their Smiling New Faces

The redesign definitely gives siblings a personality while keeping Smart's traditional looks. These happy-go-lucky hatchbacks have a slight upward curve with headlights in either corner that make both of them appear to be smiling. With about 40 different available color schemes, buyers should have no problem finding just the right shade to fit their style.

Underneath the jovial look is an all-new platform shared with the similarly quirky Renault Twingo. Mounted in the rear are a trio of available three-cylinder gasoline engines with 60-, 71- and 90-horsepower on offer. Gearbox options amount to either a five-speed manual or Smart's "twinamic" dual-clutch transmission.

Despite their diminutive size, Smart is touting the new models' safety with features like standard crosswind assist. Plus, they were crash tested against the much larger Mercedes-Benz C-Class and S-Class and performed admirably.
