smart fortwo
When it comes to the smart fortwo, there’s no need for introductions. After seven years on the Canadian market, it continues to garner attention from the public while earning praise from environmentalists. The base model is equipped with a small 1.0L 3-cylinder combustion engine that produces a mere 70 hp. Buyers can now opt for an electric version whose range is 135 km. A convertible version is also available.
