The all-electric city runabout was assembled in Slovenia at the Novo Mesto factory where the mechanically identical Renault Twingo Z.E. is produced. The French equivalent is also on its deathbed as the company with the diamond logo has already announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/01\/31\/renault-5-replace-twingo-ze\/\">new Renault 5 will replace it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from <em>Electrive<\/em>, the two-door ForTwo together with its convertible version are still being made. The more practical ForFour exited the assembly line for good in December, but with no formal announcement made by Smart. As a refresher, the pint-sized EV was offered with a single electric motor producing 80 horsepower (60 kilowatts) and an instant torque of 160 Newton-meters (118 pound-feet).<\/p>\n<p>The electric punch enabled the Smart EQ ForFour to reach 62 mph (100 km\/h) from a standstill in 11.5 seconds and top out at 81 mph (130 km\/h). Equipped with a small 17.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the diminutive four-door hatchback can travel for up to 84 miles (135 kilometers) before running out of juice, per the WLTP test cycle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13923\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Smart-EQ-ForFour-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2208\" height=\"1474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Smart-EQ-ForFour-2.jpg 2208w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Smart-EQ-ForFour-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Smart-EQ-ForFour-2-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2208px) 100vw, 2208px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Smart \u2013 which is now a joint venture between Daimler and Geely \u2013 is hard at work preparing an all-new model.
