For any city commuter, a Smart car lease is a great choice. If you live deep in the heart of a city or are in a constant battle trying to find parking spaces, with your driving rarely topping 30mph, then the Smart might just be all the car you’ll ever need. If the Smart EQ ForFour fits into your life, it’s likely to really fit into your life.
The ForFour was first launched around 18 years ago – and this current generation is dramatically different from what came before it. Now the ForFour runs purely on electric power, so you can benefit from lower running costs, Government grants and zero emissions.
It will surprise no one that a Smart EQ ForFour hatchback lease doesn’t give you the most spacious of cars, especially when it comes to storage. However, the cabin is cleverly laid out to accommodate drivers and passengers in relative comfort, at the expense of boot space.
The Smart EQ ForFour measures just under 3.5 metres in length – but it does seat 4, and that’s the big difference between it and sister car the Smart ForTwo. If it’s just you and 1 other, the seats fold down for a good bit more cargo capacity.
Either way, this car is designed to be small and you’ll be happy enough zooming around town in it.
When a tiny car meets electric power, running costs become almost non-existent. Depending on where you charge, costs are negligible – a full charge of the battery should cost around £2.50 at home, which can be done overnight. That’s enough for 78 miles of motoring – at least, according to the car’s official range. If statistics can be believed, that’ll do you for a whole week in the city.
Elsewhere, a Smart EQ ForFour electric lease will cost you very little day-to-day, with zero-rated tax, minimal servicing and low insurance. With our best ForFour lease deals, this electric car really is a bargain overall.
The ForFour is the only Smart car that you can get these days. The question is whether you want 2 doors or 4. And if 2, whether you want a soft-top or not. Simplicity is bliss.
Trim Levels Available: Premium, Exclusive, Brabus, Countless special editions
The base Premium trim comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, H4 halogen headlamps with integrated LED daytime driving lights, a panoramic roof and sunblind, a rear-view camera, a high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and more besides.
Smart cars have always been unique little cars that haven’t had direct rivals – especially as the brand was one of the first to adopt electric power. Other manufacturers are getting in on the game now, with the funky Honda E arguably the closest rival – although that will set you back a lot more money.
It’s a good car when doing the very specific things it’s good at, and it does those things better than anything else. In other scenarios (anywhere outside of city driving, basically) it’s not so strong – but can still cope.
Yes, all Smart models are electric now, with a 17.2kWh battery pack and an 80hp electric motor.
Being all-electric, there’s a reduction in complication. The platform has also been around long enough for the kinks to be ironed out. So we’d say, yes, it probably is quite reliable.
You can plug the Smart EQ ForFour into a rapid charger and suck power out at 22kW. That’s ‘quite quick’ rather than rapid – but the smallish battery capacity means you’ll be on your way again in around 40 minutes.
Sort of. The brand started life as a project by Swatch, the Swiss watch brand, before being purchased by Daimler, the owners of Mercedes. The first car launched into Europe in 1998, with the brand continuing to be run by Mercedes. The latest models are built in a partnership with Renault, bringing some French flair.
