Smart and Renault have not tested with micro car

The Smart-/Renault cooperation to a new microcar still seems to be in full swing. Any difference with the prototype that we spotted earlier this year is that the exterior of the new Twingo is used.

It was already known that Renault and Mercedes joined had beaten. Both see in fact how important the A segment has become. Renault has experience with the Twingo, Mercedes with the Smart ForTwo. Throw both ideas in the blender and you get a car as we are here for us, a Twingo where a piece from it seems to be sawn. This cooperation, each manufacturer probably not one but two new models deliver.

Renault
Renault believes it is not too bad with the Twingo, but the crown of supermini now share with many competitors. We also see the arrival of cars like the Volkswagen Up! And Kia Picanto that downsizing - and not only in engines - scores. Therefore, this development not only provides the basis for the new regular Twingo, but will also be used for a French two-seater. This Renault hopes to fish in the same pond as this example does with Toyota iQ.

Smart
Smart has rarely been profitable and it is for Mercedes-Benz is very important that the next generation model is a success. With help from Renault comes not only a new smart as we already knew, but also a four-copy. This path has already trodden the Smart ForFour and with market knowledge in the back, you can count on the Germans this time much better prepared will appear.

The new Smart-/Renault model likely to make their appearance in 2014.
