Who'd have thought you could get four people in a Smart car? Not only that, but luggage too! The new EQ Forfour Hatchback can do this and more, and you'll find it a smart choice for EV leasing. Its smooth, automatic transmission offers rapid acceleration along with a silent and effortless drive. Economical, practical and committed to environmental conservation, the Smart electric car is the zero emission solution to the modern driving world.

Key highlights

The Smart Forfour Hatchback offers eco-friendly driving with style, and is now available in new, zingier colours. The exterior design is generally more muscular than the previous generation Forfour, with a larger grille, a beefier bumper, and larger tail lights. It's rounded off with a striking two-tone finish, new wheel designs and LED daytime running lights. The interior has comfortable leather upholstery, adjustable headrests, climate control and ambient lighting. 

A 7" infotainment touch screen gives access to a Smart media system and Bluetooth streaming. The Smart EQ app provides connected intelligence on current range, charge level and eco-score. Driver assistance is also available on the app, including charge spot finder and navigational aids. The cruise control function offers a variable speed limiter, and there's also a crosswind assist for extreme wind conditions. 

The hatchback provides convenient access to rear luggage space, and the seats fold down to increase the area available for transporting larger items. For groups or families, this vehicle is an excellent choice for electric car leasing.

Performance & range

The Smart Forfour Hatchback has a driving range of 70-81 miles and can do 0-62mph in 12.7 seconds. It's identical in engineering and general design to the smaller Fortwo, but with a longer wheelbase and the extra doors. The range and power depend on the environment and speed, but if you're leasing a Smart electric car you can keep an eye on its performance using the eco-score function of the EQ app.
