The Smart brand was born in 1997 and was then called Micro Compact Car. At the moment, these miniature cars belong to the Mercedes-Benz Cars Group. And in 2012, the brand debuted at Russian market... Despite the appearance of production models only in 1998, these small cars have a history in the DaimlerChrysler concern. The design of the first fundamentally new subcompact car began back in 1972. For several years, an original design was developed, and already in 1995 the first prototype was presented to the public. By the way, the name Smart is an abbreviation for Swatch Mercedes Art. At the initial stages, Swatch took part in the creation of automobiles, and in general, miniature cars were conceived as a means of popularizing the watch brand. Well, today we will talk about one of the latest compact car options - Smart Fortwo Brabus.
Smart Brabus appearance
When you get into this car, you get the impression that this is not a car at all, but a moped with a cab, and even in a Brabus body kit. The first impressions from the car are the same as from its photographs: "How can you even drive such a car ?!" Small, short, with a missing hood and almost the same trunk; In general, no matter how you look at it, Smart Brabus is not like everyone else. But the first impression is often deceiving - so in this case.
Exterior and interior
Smart Brabus looks, of course, very funny. One gets the feeling that the car just had an accident and the hood and trunk were crumpled. In fact, of course, this is not the case. The Smart's hood is really small, but it's still there. There are containers for various liquids, for example, for cleaning glass. The hood opens easily, but not quite normally. You need to move the two latches on the grill under the hood, and then remove the plastic cover. The whole construction of Smart is made in such a way that parts can be easily replaced here. You are tired of a monophonic hood - you can quickly remove it and put another one, no problem.

By the way, “unusual” is a key word that comes up every now and then when working with this car. To be honest, it's easier to simply forget how something was done in previous cars than to get used to the innovations in Smart Brabus. Judge for yourself: the engine is in the trunk here. Well, why not? Indeed, we open the trunk, unscrew the protective screws, raise the panel and here it is - the heart of the car.
Motor in the trunk of Smart Brabus
There is not a lot of space in the trunk, but there is enough space to store a couple of backpacks or sports bags. In principle, since Smart cars are not designed for long journeys, a large trunk is not needed here either. Of course, it's a little offensive that you can't take extra things to the dacha in it, but delivering several packages of food on the weekend is easy. There is a special box in the trunk for various little things. In it, for example, you can store tools and a first-aid kit, but a fire extinguisher will no longer fit here. By the way, opening the trunk is also not quite usual. First, the upper glass rises (here the method is somewhat reminiscent of the trunk in a Peugeot 106), and then the lower part can also be opened.

Trunk Smart Brabus
Smart looks more like a ladies' car, but that does not mean at all that it is. No, if a man's height allows, then he can freely sit behind the wheel of this car. Moreover, I only once saw a woman driving a Smart, and in all other cases there were men in the driver's seat. But with my growth under 190 it was not entirely comfortable. Due to the fact that the seat cannot be moved away (since the trunk and the street are already behind), it turns out that you are sitting too close to the steering wheel, and this is not particularly convenient. However, there is already a question of personal comfort and habit, the main thing is to like the car.
Side view of Smart Brabus
When you look at the car from the outside, you get the impression that this kid will not go further than the yard, but everything changes when you get behind the wheel and press the gas pedal. However, more on that later. We got a version in white for the test, but Smart does not have any colors. And silvery, and yellow, and red, and with various inserts, in general, for every taste and color, as they say. The lines of the car are smooth, but there are no pretentiousness on the outside. Everything is as strict and even ascetic as possible. Plastic door handles, standard round taillights... If not for the size, then Smart Brabus could be confused with any Japanese or Korean entry-class foreign car.

However, the corporate identity of the cars of this brand can already be traced. This is the framing of the doors, and the radiator grill, and by the headlights you can already find out what kind of car is in front of you.
Front view of Smart Brabus
Despite the diminutiveness of the car, its doors are huge and, perhaps, only slightly smaller than those of other cars. They occupy almost the entire side of the Smart, but this does not interfere at all, and when parking, you will in any case have a lot of space to open a different door.

Parking with this car, of course, is as easy as shelling pears. You can stand at least in parallel, at least perpendicular, at least diagonally, Smart in any case will take up only half of the parking space. By the way, it is very convenient, if the family has two such cars, then you can pay only for one parking space. Well, or keep the baby at home on the balcony so that it does not freeze in winter.
Parking on Smart Brabus
You can judge how many people will fit in this car from the name, because the full naming of this model is Smart ForTwo Brabus. The brand has models for four people, but about them some other time. So, two people, in fact, a driver and a passenger. Even in the trunk of the third will not fit, no matter how you try, unless you leave the trunk open. For the convenience of people, the chairs are made with elastic lateral support, but they are not adjustable in height, only the longitudinal position can be adjusted. There are also many unusual or rather unusual things inside the cabin. What is an analog tachometer and a clock made in uniform style and located in the middle of the front panel in the car.

Directly below these devices is the single-zone climate control. Here, in general, everything is like other cars. We choose the desired temperature, power, set where the air should flow and enjoy. In the cold season, a warm stream begins to blow only a few minutes after the car has started, but in this case heated seats save, since Brabus has them.
Climate control in Smart Brabus
The steering wheel is standard here, albeit a little thinner than usual. On the steering wheel itself there are cruise control buttons, but under the steering wheel there are controls that are rarely found in passenger cars... These are the gear control "petals". Despite the fact that Smart Brabus has a robotic box installed, the developers probably decided to pamper the drivers and make them feel like driving a Formula 1 car. However, the good news is that these levers do not interfere in any way, and if you are not going to switch the box to manual mode, then they will not cause any discomfort.

Behind the wheel is a speedometer and a small screen, which displays various statistical information, as well as the time, temperature and amount of gasoline in the tank. On the sides of this dashboard indicators of various errors and notifications, as well as turn signals are placed.

Of the interesting features of the interior of Brabus, I would like to note more panoramic roof... Of course, there is no hatch here, and there is no automatic opening of the curtain either, but the very presence of a glass roof is already great.

Overall, the car's interior is quite simple but stylish. Many elements are chrome-plated, but if the interior was leather, it would look much better. In variation with the fabric, the car looks like a good middle-class sedan from the inside, no better and no worse.

Chassis and technological features
This kid's motor is something very unusual. It would seem, why in a car that weighs as much as half a normal sedan (about 800 kg), power 102 horsepower? But one has only to sit behind the wheel and press the gas pedal, as you immediately understand - this is just what you need. Thanks to the 1.0 liter engine and low weight, the car accelerates like a 200-horsepower sedan. But the sensations, of course, are eerie. This is where the phrase "stool with a motor" comes in handy, but in a good way. Smart Brabus rushes along the road like crazy, other drivers just look after them in surprise. Now it is clear why there are “paddles” in the car for gear shifting. If you wish, you can really feel like a Ferrari driver.
But this engine consumes a lot of fuel. In the city average consumption I had 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway 6-7 liters. In principle, this is an indicator of a small sedan, but Smart is much less in size and weight. Yes, and only 98th gasoline is required to fill this engine, so even though Brabus is a small car, it will take no less money for it than for a full-size car. Considering that the tank here is designed for only 33 liters, then you will not drive a Brabus for a long time without refueling, however, for a city car this is not so important.
Gear lever in Smart Brabus
The impression of the trip here is spoiled only by the gearbox. If you have driven robotic boxes then forget everything you knew about them. Here it is a 5-step robot that works in a very strange way. It will not be able to accelerate quickly in automatic mode, it will constantly twitch when switching, and you, accordingly, sharply lean towards the steering wheel in accordance with all the laws of physics. In manual mode, the situation is not much better. In general, the only solution here is to get used to it. In general, if you switched to Smart from another car, then you have to get used to everything here. Box, tight pedal gas, unusual hood, engine in the back - get ready for the unusual.
The ignition switch is located here near the gearshift lever, so it is not worth poking the key into the steering column, there is no hole there. The key here is the most common, not even folding. You also have to adjust to the gear lever. There is no Parking mode here, so to park the car, you need to use neutral speed and good old hand brake... To get under way, it is enough to move the selector to the Drive position, but even here it is not so simple. Will turn on first manual control box, so do not rush and go out on the road. To turn on automatic switching gears, you must press the button on the side of the gearshift lever. As you can see, not everything is simple here, but you can get used to it.
Another thing to adapt to is rear drive... This car goes into drift easily, however, it is just as easy to get it out of a skid. However, I would still not recommend starting abruptly on it, especially in case of ice on the roads, because with such a mass and size, you can turn over. Nevertheless, the Brabus's handling and maneuverability is good. On the road, the car behaves confidently, it enters the turns no worse than its older counterparts. The only discomfort that you feel when you are driving this miniature animal is that everyone wants to cut you off. But this is rather a deceptive impression due to the fact that there is no long hood in front and other drivers understand this and rebuild as usual. But forcing yourself to remember this constantly at first is quite difficult.
Radio in Smart Brabus
Now let's see what Smart Brabus has from the electronic filling. There is a multimedia system and 8 speakers, which do their job pretty well. The screen of the device is touch-sensitive, but, unfortunately, resistive, and the quality of the display itself is not very high. To the left of the screen, there are buttons for quick access to menus, navigation, and also for volume control. With this equipment, you can listen to the radio, play CDs and even play audio from your phone.
Powerful versions of Mercedes carry the AMG logo, but the story is different with smarts: from the very beginning, the Brabus atelier has been working on these kids, and we are not talking about tuning already produced cars, but about developing serial modifications. For this purpose, a division of smart-Brabus GmbH was created, and as a result, "charged" cars are sold through the brand's dealer network. The first smart Brabus appeared in 2003, and now the hands of Brabus specialists have reached the third generation subcompact.
The version with a three-cylinder 900-cc turbo engine is taken as a basis. Increased injection and boost pressure, changed the intake system, installed a more "evil" exhaust system- and as a result, the output increased from 90 hp. and 135 Nm to 109 hp. and 170 Nm. The indicators of the last generation car, which was equipped with a liter turbo-engine (102 hp, 147 Nm), are covered.
But the new smart Brabus fortwo did not become more agile. If the previous two-seater with a five-speed "robot" accelerated to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds, then the new twinamic with a six-speed preselector does it in 9.5 seconds. Obviously, the point is gear ratios transmissions, because maximum speed nevertheless, it has grown - from 155 to 165 km / h. And the five-door smart Brabus forfour completely exchanges a “hundred” in not “hot” 10.5 s at all, but its maximum speed is even higher - 180 km / h.
The alterations were not limited to the engine alone. The Brabus version has a stiffer suspension, a different setting for the electric power steering (it should become heavier) and stabilization systems, and the "robot" has a rapid-fire Race Start mode for the most efficient acceleration. Outside - different bumpers, in the cabin - changed decor and more expensive trim, and still all micro-Brabus sport large wheels - 16-inch in front and 17-inch in the rear.
In Germany, a two-seat smart Brabus fortwo will cost at least 19,710 euros (a quarter more expensive than the "regular" version with a turbo engine and a "robot"), for a convertible they will ask for 22,970 euros, and for a five-door smart Brabus forfour - 20,520 euros. The start of sales is scheduled for July. Such cars will appear in Russia, but a little later. By the way, last year we sold 49 Brabus of the previous generation, which is more than 10% of the total number of sold smarts.

German automaker Mercedes unveiled its new car Smart ForTwo Brabus TG 2016 model year... The novelty has acquired a powerful enough power plant and improved, according to the developers, design.
So what is it?
We can only say with confidence that the Smart ForTwo Brabus TG 2016 model year is the fastest and most powerful car among the entire family.
Ok what's new?
Immediately attracts attention absolutely new design vehicle, which is made of high quality durable alloys. However, the most significant changes affected the power plant. Smart ForTwo Brabus TG has a modest, in size, 3-cylinder engine, which is capable of developing 107 hp. and 125 Nm of torque. In previous versions, the power was 28 hp. less torque and 25 Nm less torque.
With a new power plant the car is able to accelerate from standstill to a speed of 100 km / h in just 10 seconds, for such a small car this is simply an outstanding indicator. By the way, the vehicle's top speed is 165 km / h.
Changed by 10 millimeters ground clearance German novelties. Because of this, it was necessary to introduce a completely new shock-absorbing system, which became more rigid. Thanks to this modernization, the stability of the Smart ForTwo Brabus TG has also increased.
And what's funny?
Due to its size, this car just not able to smoothly and smoothly pick up speed and brake, all efforts are transferred to the driver. Although it is commendable that the Smart ForTwo Brabus TG is the most powerful, in fact it is more created for PR and a nice headline, since the driver of such a car does not need this power, he will be more comfortable at lower speeds.
The 6-speed is especially ridiculous. mechanical box gears, while driving, you constantly feel these high-speed jumps, depending on the gear. There is one more nuance - these are road bumps, potholes and pits. The 5th point of the driver feels all this aforementioned perfectly, there are hardly such people who will like such sensations. On the one hand, controlling Smart ForTwo Brabus TG seems to be very convenient, since the dimensions are insignificant and new opportunities appear, but as for the steering specifically, everything is not so colorful.
Talking about this new product, you can never say that it has excellent responsiveness regarding the steering. Smart ForTwo Brabus TG is very hard to listen to the driver, this applies to absolutely everything: steering, gear and transmission.
Is it that bad?
No, all the previously described disadvantages are best manifested only when driving on densely populated roads, where there are often traffic jams and the nature of the "stop-start" movement. However, if you drive on free streets, then the picture is much nicer.
Smart ForTwo Brabus TG does not need a sharp movement, harsh gas or harsh brakes. On such a car, you need to smoothly accelerate, then calmly slow down in advance, then perhaps you will have really pleasant sensations from driving.
True, which of us is insured against traffic jams? Perhaps, if the car owner of Smart ForTwo Brabus TG lives in a small village, city or village, he never meets traffic jams, but in his mind, such cars are just created with the subtext "an ideal choice for densely populated cities."
But we must all understand that the creation of such vehicles is an attempt to look into the future, where it is possible, in the opinion of many experts, that we will all drive just such small cars. Therefore, it is not worth criticizing the German automaker strongly, they did everything possible to improve the Smart ForTwo Brabus TG as much as possible, if something is wrong in it, it means that today it was impossible to design otherwise.
Do I need to buy?
The Smart ForTwo Brabus TG is generally not bad car for your segment. The exterior is quite attractive, if we discard the thoughts "what a trifle is going", as for the interior, it is quite spacious, modern and beautiful. By the way, the interior of the German novelty is completely sheathed with very high quality and practical leather. V basic equipment This vehicle includes all the most necessary and modern elements, in this regard, absolutely everything is perfect. Power characteristics the new Smart has the best, you will not find a more powerful representative of this car series.
You can buy Smart ForTwo Brabus TG 2016 model year for 20 thousand dollars, a very affordable and attractive price, although this is exactly the price a city car should have.
Outcome
Summing up, we must admit that the German automaker has done a large-scale job to improve its new car as much as possible, at some points they managed to do this, but in fact there is still a lot of work. The Smart ForTwo Brabus TG is a gourmet car for singles, because if you have a family and need to think about choosing your first vehicle, you are unlikely to stop at this German novelty.
So to speak, the "habitat" for Smart ForTwo Brabus TG is very limited and narrow, it seems that a city is needed, but not densely populated and at the same time not too empty. Perhaps for typical European small towns with narrow streets, the German novelty fits perfectly, but in other parts of the planet the cities are completely different, this car is definitely not able to please everyone.
