Overview

Belonging to the subcompact hatchback segment, the 2014 Smart ForTwo Electric Hatchback carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a base price of MSRP of $25,000, the Smart ForTwo Electric offers a single trim. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV Hatchback and the Fiat 500e Hatchback. Meanwhile, the BMW i3 Hatchback is a potential rival that lies on the expensive end and costs $16,000 more than the ForTwo Electric. There aren't any powertrain options to explore here. The ForTwo Electric is equipped with a single motor setup and a 17.6 kWh battery with a rated power output of 74 horsepower. Through this setup, the ForTwo Electric gets a range of 68 miles In a straight line, the ForTwo Electric clocks a 0-60 of 11 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 7 beautiful colors available for the car.

Buying Advice

The Kinetic Green Appearance Package brings some visual changes inside and out. However, we advise getting the Technology Package and the Cruise Control Package for the surround sound system, navigation system, and cruise control. Meanwhile, heated front seats and an anti-theft alarm system are also optional.
