Description

The 2016 Smart Forfour 1.0 Prime (Premium Plus) offers a nimble, confidence-inspiring drive around town and on longer trips. Its compact dimensions and precise direct-steer make parking and threading through traffic effortless, while the light, responsive engine keeps running costs modest. The panoramic roof floods the cabin with light, enhancing the sense of space.

Inside, the cabin feels thoughtfully finished and surprisingly practical for everyday use. Heated front seats and automatic climate control keep occupants comfortable, and the clever rear seating layout lets you adapt the load area for shopping or weekend gear. With a recent service and a long MOT, this Forfour is well prepared for immediate ownership.
