Smart for-us

The latest addition to the Smart conceptual range is the for-us pickup, which follows on from the forspeed convertibe of Geneva, and the forvision hatchback that was unveiled Frankfurt, delivering another twist on the iconic city car platform.

Despite the increase of size to 3547mm in length, traditional Smart iconography such as the tridon safety cell, three-spoke wheels and product-like execution – such as the inner lamp graphics – retain the brand identity. Squarer lamp and grille graphics and knobbly rocker surfacing add a twist of robustness.

The two-seat for-us's rear deck has stowage for two eBikes, whilst also providing a docking station to charge the electric cycles.

Inside, the for-us makes extensive use of a bright yellow hue across the IP, door cards and floor. This is juxtaposed with a ‘metallised white leather' used for the touch points, whilst technical elements are finished in brushed aluminum. Product references continue inside with details such as the exposed fan behind the instrument pod, while the seate can be fully removed from the vehicle to provide seating when exploring the great outdoors.
