Brabus Smart ForTwo and ForFour spotted undisguised ahead of debut
The upcoming Brabus versions of the Smart ForTwo and ForFour have been photographed without camouflage, revealing new styling and performance cues before their official unveiling.
Brabus versions of the Smart ForTwo and ForFour have been photographed completely undisguised during what appears to be a pre-launch photo shoot, confirming a range of styling and performance upgrades for the city cars. The sighting suggests that the official reveal is imminent, with both models showing production-ready details.
Aggressive styling and Brabus signature details
The images show both the ForTwo and ForFour with revised front and rear bumpers, a more pronounced rear diffuser and dual exhaust tips finished in metal. Unlike the previous generation, the exhausts are now placed apart rather than centrally. Both cars sit lower to the ground, with larger two-tone alloy wheels and wider tyres hinting at an upgraded suspension setup. These changes mark a clear departure from the standard Smart models, giving the Brabus variants a more assertive presence.
Engine and performance expectations
While official figures have not been released, reports indicate that both Brabus models will use an uprated version of Smart’s 0.9-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. Power is expected to rise to 110 hp, up from the standard output, making these the most powerful variants in the current Smart line-up. Larger brakes are also likely, supporting the increased performance. The interior is expected to receive Brabus-specific trim and equipment, though details are yet to be confirmed.
Position in the city car market
Brabus-tuned Smarts have traditionally targeted buyers seeking a compact car with added performance and distinctive styling. The new ForTwo and ForFour Brabus models will compete with other hot city cars, though few rivals offer a similar blend of size and power.
