+120 moreSmart is a German automotive brand that designs subcompact and microcars. Their most popular offerings are called the Fortwo and Forfour. These names cleverly describe how many people can comfortably fit into the vehicle. Smart cars were designed by the same team who worked on the Swatch design. These cars were originally even called Swatchmobiles during the prototype phase. Smart is an acronym for "S*watch M*ercedes A*RT." One of the leaders on the Smart project also designed the Mercedes A-Class. Smart cars are extremely safe and can absorb the impact of heavy and fast-moving objects.
Despite the lack of damage during an accident, you'll still need insurance on your Smart car! Select from the two or three basic models on the list, and we'll show you a breakdown of insurance options for the Smart vehicle design. There's even extra material and resources for all things Smart.
