Trunk dimensions Smart Forfour

The Smart Forfour 2020 offers a trunk with a volume of 6.5 cu ft, expandable up to 34.4 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down. The rear bench is split 60:40, allowing flexibility in transporting luggage. The interior design is functional, with a high loading edge that facilitates access to the trunk.

Trunk dimensions vary within the model range, with the compact design of the Forfour aiming for practical space utilization.

Typical features include the square shape of the trunk and the ability to securely store smaller items. The design supports everyday usability, even though the trunk is limited compared to larger small cars.

Model Information

The Smart Forfour is a compact small car characterized by its agility and urban character. The latest series of the Forfour combines functionality with a modern design suitable for city driving and short trips.

Focusing on efficiency and environmental friendliness, the Forfour offers an electric variant that meets today's requirements. The interior is designed for maximum space utilization, making it a practical choice for city dwellers.

Variants of the Same Series

The Smart Forfour is offered in various variants, including the standard version and the electric version. While the standard version is equipped with a gasoline engine, the electric version provides emission-free driving.

It is important not to confuse these two variants, as they have different drive technologies and ranges. However, both models share the same basic design and most technical features.

Yearly Differences

The Smart Forfour was relaunched in 2014, and since then there have been several model changes affecting body dimensions and trunk dimensions.

In particular, the introduction of the electric version in 2016 brought adjustments in vehicle architecture to accommodate the battery, which also influenced weight distribution and available storage space.

It is important to pay attention to these differences when buying a used model, as they can affect the vehicle's functionality.

Direct Competition

In the same price range and size as the Smart Forfour are models like the Fiat 500 and the Toyota Aygo. The Fiat 500 offers a trunk volume of about 6.5 cu ft, similar to the Forfour, while the Toyota Aygo provides slightly less cargo space at 5.9 cu ft.

These differences can be decisive for buyers who value maximum cargo space. It is advisable to compare the trunk volumes of competing models to make the best choice.

More Affordable Alternatives

More affordable alternatives to the Smart Forfour with similar trunk dimensions include models like the Dacia Sandero and the Kia Picanto. The Dacia Sandero offers a trunk volume of about 11.6 cu ft, making it an attractive option for buyers who need more cargo space.

The Kia Picanto, on the other hand, has a trunk volume of about 9 cu ft. These models provide a cost-effective solution for buyers who still value a certain amount of cargo space.

Trunk Volume

The Smart Forfour Van 2015 has a trunk volume of 6.5 cu ft (manufacturer specification). This means the trunk is about 55.95% smaller than that of an average car.

Relative to the entire vehicle interior, the trunk accounts for only about 4.1% of the car volume (L×W×H/2), which is 2.4 percentage points less than average.

Everyday impact: This very small loading area is suitable for small shopping trips, a sports bag, or 1–2 small carry-on pieces. Large suitcases, bulky items, or bigger shopping loads are difficult to accommodate; the vehicle is unsuitable for moves or transporting larger items.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 137.8 in length, 65.7 in width, 61 in height.

Compared to the average car, the Smart Forfour Van is 42.1 in shorter (-23.4%), 7.5 in narrower (-10%), and 0.4 in lower (-0.6%). Compared to a standard parking space, the vehicle is 59.4 in shorter and 33.1 in narrower.

Everyday impact: The compact design makes the vehicle extremely agile and very parking-friendly in the city. Simple parking spots and tight spaces are easier to use, and parking in and out is faster than with an average car.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The limited loading capacity restricts flexibility. Practically, this means:

Sufficient for daily city use (shopping, courier trips with small volume).
No large reserve for weekend shopping, luggage, or bigger purchases.
If regular transport of larger loads is required, folding solutions or a roof rack are necessary — in standard condition, usability remains limited.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The Smart Forfour is part of the Smart model family and is known as a compact city car. Purpose and character are clearly aimed at urban use.

Special features / characteristics: Very short exterior length and narrow width – ideal for tight inner-city traffic situations; at the same time very limited loading volume.

Price-performance ratio: The model offers good value for buyers who primarily need high agility and parking friendliness in the city. Those who regularly have larger transport tasks receive little value for these requirements.

Competitor models: Typical competitors are other city cars and mini cars like the VW up!, Fiat 500, or Toyota Aygo; in usage profile, it competes with compact delivery/city vehicles but differs by especially small exterior dimensions and limited loading volume.
