The 2012 Smart ForFour was announced by Smart USA in Detroit earlier. Smart USA is planning on bringing the five-door car to the US market sometime within the next 15 months.
Smart USA helped to open the micro-car debate in the United States when they launched the Smart ForTwo in 2008, and generating even more interest with the announcement of their ForTwo electric drive. Their brand has created a large demand in the US market that has yet to be fulfilled, and Smart USA hopes the 2012 Smart ForFour can fill that void.
The B-segment five door car is going to only be available on the US market. This is to meet the demands of Americans’ looking to find a practical Smart car. The aesthetic nature of the Smart ForFour is based on similar architecture to Nissan’s own brand, making it all the more accessible to those not in the market for Smart cars, but browsing based on aesthetic qualities.
Roger Penske, the Chairman of the Penske Automotive Group, stated that, “We are faced with continuing customer demand fora smart car with more seating capacity.” The sales of the Smart ForFour five seater car will be exclusively carried by approximately 75 Smart dealerships in the USA. Later details about this prospectively revolutionary vehicle will be announced soon.
With the 2012 Smart ForFour, you can expect to see a surge in people driving Smart cars as they finally get their hands on an inclusive Smart car that works for them, rather than against them.
