At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Smart’s classic two-seater made a celebrated comeback. The new version will be called the #2 rather than the ForTwo, but the concept remains the same: a tiny city car with just enough room for luggage. It also gets an electric powertrain with a 180-mile range and a starting price of almost exactly €20,000.
Technically, the new Smart #2 uses a permanent-magnet synchronous motor on the rear axle, producing 80 hp at peak output and 96 lb-ft (130 Nm) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.6 seconds and has a top speed limited to 87 mph (140 km/h). For the first time in this class, it uses a five-link rear axle.
