The Micro-City Car Segment

The Smart #2, including the exclusive couture version, is positioned at the forefront of the burgeoning micro-city-car market. Although it’s not the first electric model from Smart, it competes robustly in a field populated by other ultra-compact vehicles such as the Citroën Ami and other microcars showcased in Paris.
