Expert 2019 smart EQ ForTwo review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article
our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Smart EQ ForTwo?

Built by Mercedes-Benz and available as a coupe or soft-top convertible, the all-electric Smart EQ ForTwo minicar seats two. A 17.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack powers an 80-horsepower electric motor that drives the rear wheels. Competitors include the Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen e-Golf and Fiat 500e.

What's New on the 2019 Smart EQ ForTwo?

Previously known as the ForTwo Electric Drive, the EQ ForTwo gets a new 120-volt charging cable this year.

What Features in the 2019 Smart EQ ForTwo Are Most Important?

Standard features include cruise control, power windows, Bluetooth streaming audio, LED daytime running lights and a 7.2-kilowatt onboard charger. Options include leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, a JBL stereo, navigation and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.

Should I Buy the 2019 Smart EQ ForTwo?

With its limited range, small size and two-person cabin, the cute EQ ForTwo is a niche car designed for bustling metropolitan environments. It's fun to drive in the city and an absolute breeze to park. Its eligibility for a $7,500 federal tax credit is another plus. The EQ ForTwo's small size, however, becomes a liability outside of urban centers as the car feels too small for suburban roads. We also wish the cabin design was more inviting.

The cutest EV

This is my third Smart electric. I leased a 2013 and a 2016 electric (if I bought either, I would have had to continue leasing the battery, which didn't make sense for me). I leased a 2019 electric and, since they've stopped selling the Smart in the US, I've decided to buy this one (which comes with the battery - yay!). I love the Smart for its utter cuteness and tininess. It has like a zero degree turning radius, and I'm able to zip in and out of anywhere. It's perfect for my needs, as I tend to do mostly local driving, and I occasionally take it on the freeway if the drive isn't too long. With regenerative braking, I usually get at least 80 miles with each full charge. The only issues I've had with this car are (1) when I first picked it up, it died on me within the first week, and it took the dealer 28 days to reboot and fix everything, and (2) the cup holders aren't adjustable, so my big water bottle doesn't fit (my other Smarts had adjustable holders, so why did they change this?). After driving Smarts for 9 years, I can't really drive other cars -- they all seem so huge and cumbersome. But for longer drives, I do borrow my husband's EV, which has a longer range. I did consider at some point getting a Fiat electric and test-drove one, but it just wasn't as cute as the Smart. Its adorableness makes me happy every time I come out of a building and see it waiting for me. Even after driving it for 3 years, its cuteness still sometimes takes me by surprise!

Smart EV Owner x3

I have not had to buy gasoline to commute for the last five years. It is unfortunate that Smart has withdrawn from the North American car market. I have owned a 2013 Smart ED and currently have a 2017 Smart ForTwo ED Passion coupe and just picked up the 2019 Smart ForTwo EQ Prime Cabrio. These cars are fun to drive, perfect urban, and suburban commuter car. Long trips take some planning but are quite do able. Published EPA mileage is way below reality. I average 70+ Miles per charge. Best mileage achievement was 129 miles between charges.
