Smart models and prices in Canada
Smart's Canadian electric lineup is a single, ultra-compact city car:
- fortwo Electric Drive — from $29,050, with up to 93 km of range. A two-seat urban EV built for tight parking, short commutes and easy city manoeuvring.
Which Smart is right for you?
The fortwo Electric Drive is purpose-built for city dwellers who want the cheapest practical way into an EV and rarely venture far from home. Its tiny footprint makes parking effortless, and its low price plus the full $5,000 federal rebate make it one of the most affordable new electric vehicles in Canada. It is not a road-trip car, but for a second vehicle or a dedicated urban runabout it is hard to beat on cost.
Range, charging and winter driving
The fortwo's 93 km range suits short urban trips, but Canadian winters can cut usable range by roughly 20-30% in deep cold, leaving closer to 65-75 km on the harshest days, so it is best kept to local driving in winter. A standard home outlet or Level 2 charger refills the small battery quickly overnight, and pre-conditioning the cabin while plugged in preserves range. Its compact battery means charging is rarely a lengthy affair.
How Smart compares
The fortwo Electric Drive competes with the Fiat 500e and MINI Cooper SE among small city EVs, undercutting both on price while offering less range. Where the 500e and Cooper SE stretch further per charge, the Smart counters with the lowest entry cost and the smallest urban footprint of the three. For buyers who value affordability and city agility over distance, the fortwo is the budget champion of the group.
