THE new smart electric drive is making electric mobility more attractive than ever.

This is the fourth-generation electric smart, which is now available in all three bodystyles — including, for the first time, the smart forfour. This makes smart the only car manufacturer worldwide to offer its model range with both combustion engines and pure battery-electric drive.

The smart electric drive will celebrate its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show, October 1 to 16, while the market launch will start in the USA in December and in Europe in early 2017.
