Smart – other models: the collective page with the Forfour 1.1 and Forfour CDI, three-cylinder engines from 55 to 60 kW, 1,120 to 1,490 cm³, kerb weights 1,040 to 1,160 kg
This page gathers the Smart models the register could not assign to a named series: the Forfour 1.1 and the Forfour CDI. Smart is a brand of the Daimler group, today Mercedes-Benz Group, headquartered in Böblingen; alongside the two-seat Fortwo, the four-door Forfour formed the brand's second line, aimed at buyers wanting Smart's compact character combined with four full seats.

The register lists 2 versions here with three-cylinder engines from 55 to 60 kW out of 1,120 to 1,490 cm³ displacement, kerb weights from 1,040 to 1,160 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,450 to 1,565 kg, a length of 3,750 mm and a width of 1,680 mm.
The Forfour competed in the small-car segment against models such as the Ford Fusion, Opel Corsa and VW Polo, and was used mainly in urban areas as a manoeuvrable, compact everyday car with above-average cabin space for its overall length, offered with either the petrol three-cylinder or the CDI turbodiesel.
When buying used, it is worth checking the timing chain or timing belt depending on the engine variant, the clutch under heavy urban use, the cooling system, and corrosion on sills and wheel arches; parts run through the Mercedes-Benz/Smart dealer network and independent workshops experienced with small cars.
