SMART FORFOUR REVIEW

Good looker is great around town that is cheap to run and easy to drive The contract hire Smart ForFour EQ is a stylish electric car that is not only cheap to run, but also great to drive around town. The near silent performance also includes a tight turning circle, and this is an easy car to park.

ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE SMART FORFOUR EQ

The Smart ForFour EQ car lease offers a range of 78 miles which will meet most commuting and everyday needs for those who live in towns and cities. The ForFour EQ uses regenerative braking technology to boost the range by topping up the battery.

The 80 bhp electric motor is powered by a 17.6kW battery and the overall impression is of a smooth and refined delivery of power.

The 0 to 62 mph time is a leisurely 12 seconds but it's much quicker from a standing start to 30mph - that's down to the torque of 160Nm being available instantly. Drivers can expect to reach 40mph in five seconds. The top speed is 81 mph and while the ForFour EQ is a nice car to drive at speed, the range will be affected.

There's an onboard 22kW charger fitted as standard which will recharge the battery to 80% of its capacity in just 40 minutes.

EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING FOR THE SMART FORFOUR EQ

There are three trim levels for the contract hire Smart ForFour EQ, and the entry level version offers an impressive list of equipment. Drivers get parking sensors, climate control, cruise control and 15-inch alloy wheels. The next model up includes a reversing camera, a pair of sunroofs as well as 16-inch alloys.

The top spec guise delivers rain sensing wipers, fog lights with a cornering function, LED head and rear lights as well as ambient interior lighting.

As with other EVS, the battery pack for the ForFour EQ is mounted low underneath the chassis which gives it a better sense of agility and handling, particularly when cornering.

The interior is comfortable and well-designed, the doors open very wide to enable easy access. The cabin design is on a par with rivals in the segment. The big plus of the ForFour EQ car lease is for its handling on city streets - it's an easy car to live with. It's also very easy to park.

The low running costs certainly make it a worthwhile city car to consider and for a cheap small car to lease, the Smart ForFour EQ contract hire deals need to be checked out.
