The reborn city car gets a dedicated EV platform to maximize interior space.
The Smart #2 has the window switches and lock/unlock buttons between the seats.
The central section folds to create a continuous bench seat.
It’s safe to say that Smart is milking the return of its city car for all it’s worth. We first saw the ForTwo successor back in March, when the diminutive hatchback made its debut in Beijing. However, we only saw the exterior design penned by Mercedes. Now, we’re getting our first look inside on the occasion of the electric car’s European debut. During an event in Rome, the Smart #2 revealed its party trick: a bench-seat design.
Don’t go into it thinking the tiny car can accommodate three people because it's not an American fullsize truck. It’s still a strictly two-seater affair, but the central section folds down to create a continuous bench seat. The window switches and door lock/unlock buttons are located on the upper edge of that movable section, which features a loop the driver or passenger can use to raise or lower the middle portion.
