The turning circle compared to other smart models
In the grand pantheon of smart models, the fortwo stands as the undisputed lord of the dance when it comes to turning circles. Its siblings, the fortwo EQ coupé and the fortwo EQ cabrio, match its 7.00m pirouette with electric elegance. Then there's the smart #1, the beefier cousin, trying to join the performance with an 11.00m turning circle, but let's be honest, in this family of twirlers and swirlers, it's more of a distant relative.

How does the turning circle of the smart fortwo compare to it's nearest competitors?
But how does our diminutive champion fare against the gladiators of the city car arena? The Daihatsu Cuore, a scrappy contender, matches the fortwo with an 8.80m circle of its own, suggesting a draw in this ballet of the streets. Renault's Twizy slashes the competition with a 6.80m radius, but let's face it, it's basically a glorified scooter with doors. Then there's the Toyota iQ, nipping at the fortwo's heels with a 7.80m circle, admirably close but no cigarillo. In a broader context, the likes of the Fiat Panda and the Skoda Citigo are left trailing in our wake, spinning wider arcs with every turn, utterly outclassed by the smart's urban agility. In this league of nimble navigators, the smart fortwo doesn’t just compete; it leads the pack, a true master of the metropolitan twist and turn.
