Smart fortwo cdi boasts low standard for fuel consumption

The new smart fortwo cdi is even more environmentally friendly than expected. Instead of the previously communicated 90 grams, the CO2 emissions stand at just 88 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre. The vehicle certification process that has now been completed also established fuel consumption under standard conditions of just 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres. The provisional figure previously given was 3.4 l/100 km. At present there is no more economical way of running a car. The petrol engine versions of the new smart fortwo also boast impressively low fuel consumption of just 4.7 and 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres respectively. Correspondingly, the CO2 emissions stand at just 112 and 116 grams per kilometre.

Tests of the newest version of smart car have revealed slightly better than expected results-- 88 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer and fuel consumption of just 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres.
