smart fortwo Model Years and History

For 2017 the smart fortwo gets a convertible body style called the Cabrio to complement the existing coupe. They have also added the Smart Electric Drive that can be ordered as a Coupe or Cabrio. The Brabus sport package was added and all models with fog lights will now come with cornering lights as well. It's still a tiny, 2-seat, urban, city car that does its best work in crowded streets where parking is scarce. A new, more powerful turbocharged engine gives the fortwo a bit more oomph for those occasional trips onto the freeway, while a redesigned interior innovates and makes the most of the space that is available.
