The interior of the 2016 Smart ForTwo Electric hatchback is considerably spacious for what feels like something way smaller than a subcompact hatchback. It is now more spacious than ever, with space being enough for even tall passengers.
It also uses decently premium materials inside and hence remains an option that is hard to ignore. The car has a little bit of limited cargo space, which even though low cannot be complained about since it offers nearly 12.2 ft.³.
