Where it places
The CarCody take
The 2019 smart EQ fortwo coupe is a rear-wheel-drive electric two-seater. Its EPA range is 58 miles, and its combined efficiency is 108 MPGe. It uses 31 kWh per 100 miles, costs $700 a year in EPA fuel estimates, and takes three hours to charge at 240 volts.
Good to know
- 58-mile EPA electric range
- 108 MPGe combined rating
- Three-hour charge time at 240 volts
- Rear-wheel drive and automatic transmission
Watch for
- Two-seat cabin
- 58-mile range limits longer trips
- 31 kWh per 100 miles of energy use
- EPA annual fuel cost is $700
Who it suits. Drivers with short, repeatable trips One driver who needs one passenger seat Owners with access to 240-volt charging
This fortwo makes sense as a focused urban electric car for one driver and one passenger. The 58-mile EPA range sets a clear boundary, while 108 MPGe and 31 kWh per 100 miles describe its electricity demand. A three-hour charge at 240 volts supports repeatable daily use. Its rear-wheel-drive layout and automatic transmission keep the setup simple, but the two-seat body leaves little flexibility for people or longer journeys. It is a sensible match for short, planned trips rather than broad-ranging travel.
What it is
This 2019 smart EQ fortwo is a two-seat car with a coupe body, rear-wheel drive, and an electric powertrain. Its motor is a 60 kW AC synchronous unit paired with an automatic transmission.
The defining number is its 58-mile EPA driving range. That is the distance its battery is rated to cover before recharging.
The numbers
The EPA rates the fortwo at 108 MPGe combined. It uses 31 kWh of electricity per 100 miles.
The EPA classifies it as a Two Seaters car.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $700. The figure reflects electricity use rather than gasoline.
At a 240-volt connection, the stated charge time is three hours.
How it compares
Use the 58-mile range and 108 MPGe figures when comparing this coupe with other entries in smart cars. The same 31 kWh-per-100-miles measure helps compare electricity use across electric models.
No other model figures are provided here, so the numbers above are the useful points of comparison.
Who it suits
This car suits a driver whose regular trips fit within a 58-mile EPA range and who can recharge from a 240-volt supply in three hours.
Its two-seat layout makes it a fit for solo driving or carrying one passenger.
Trade-offs
The electric drivetrain avoids gasoline use, but the car's rated range is 58 miles. Planning around charging matters for trips beyond that distance.
You get rear-wheel drive, a two-seat cabin, and an automatic transmission rather than a larger seating layout.
Verdict
The 2019 smart EQ fortwo coupe is a small electric car built around short-range driving. Its 108 MPGe rating keeps electricity use measured, while the 58-mile range limits how far it can go between charges. A three-hour 240-volt charge time can fit a predictable routine. Choose it when two seats and compact electric travel match your daily needs; look elsewhere when your driving regularly exceeds its rated range or requires more passengers.
