smart and Renault built the same car twice: the fortwo and the revived forfour share a platform with the Renault Twingo, all three with the engine sitting over the rear axle.
From 2014 the W453 used 1.0-liter naturally aspirated and 0.9-liter turbocharged M281 three-cylinders with a five-speed manual or the twinamic dual-clutch. The fortwo was also sold as a full cabriolet on the A453 code, and the forfour offered a full-length folding canvas roof.
From 2019 the range went electric-only as the EQ fortwo and EQ forfour, and the last fortwo left Hambach in 2024 — the end of the line that began in 1998.
