Smart Fortwo MHD micro-hybrid (2008) CAR review

Smart Fortwo MHD micro-hybrid (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Andrew Noakes, 16 July 2008 12:02

The Smart Fortwo MHD has been available in Europe since October 2007. MHD is Smart-talk for a stop/start system and stands for Micro Hybrid Drive. UK versions of the 61bhp and 71bhp Smart will have MHD from October 2008, while the punchier 84bhp and Brabus models will have it in 2009. Time for CAR to take one out for a ...

Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric CAR review

Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Andrew Noakes, 19 June 2008 15:16

Smart isn’t trialling 100 electric Fortwos in the UK, instead of Germany, because our petrol prices are higher, or because our congestion charges more swingeing. In fact, it's largely because the Electric Drive conversion and the 'hot' battery technology underpinning the Smart Fortwo ED were both developed by Zytek in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Apart from the electrics, what’s changed in this ...

Nice Mega City (2008) CAR review

Nice Mega City (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Nick Gibbs, 18 June 2008 09:54

Stroll through central London on a weekday and you’d be forgiven for thinking the green car revolution had arrived. In the hour I spent driving the revamped Nice Mega City, I counted 21 electric vehicles. Mostly the G-Wiz (the Mega City’s biggest rival) but also electric delivery vans. In the congestion charge zone, electricity is almost a mainstream fuel. Nice? ...

Think City (2008) CAR Review

Think City (2008) CAR Review

Rated 4 out of 54

Nick Gibbs, 12 March 2008 08:57

The Think City goes on sale at the end of 2008 with the ability to drive over 100 miles on one charge and hit 60mph. It also looks, steers and, so we’re promised, crashes like a modern city car. If it looks familiar, then you remember Ford’s aborted eco project. This is that same car six years on, back in ...

Microcar MC1 (2007) CAR review

Microcar MC1 (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Jonny Smith, 11 October 2007 10:20

What's this, another weird electricmobile? Weird yes, electric no. It's a petrol-fed, twin-cylinder featherweight city car that claims 65mpg. On paper the vital stats of the Microcar seem to make sense: low weight, low emissions, low insurance, low running costs and tepid performance. Hell, it's not even classed as a car – it's a quadricycle. Doesn't sound like a familiar ...

Mitsubishi i-EV (2007) electric CAR review

Mitsubishi i-EV (2007) electric CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 05 October 2007 09:50

Just another pie-in-the-sky electric concept car, right? Wrong, for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve driven it: CAR Online is the first to get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi i-EV. Second, Mitsubishi reckons it can have it on sale in the UK as early as next year - though 2009 seems a safer bet – for under fifteen grand. That will ...

Smart Fortwo 1.0 (2007) CAR review

Smart Fortwo 1.0 (2007) CAR review

Rated 0 out of 50

Ben Oliver, 03 June 2007 02:36

So this is the car that will save Smart? Given that it’s now Smart’s only model, yes. The Roadster was canned at the end of 2004 and the ForFour last year, leaving only the original two-seat city car. It keeps the ForTwo name, despite no longer having to distinguish itself from its deceased bigger brother. Sales of the other two ...
