The smart Roadshow travels to San Francisco this weekend
15 cities. 2 days each. Unlimited test drives.
ATLANTA, Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The smart fortwo is rolling into San Francisco this weekend to give city dwellers a few 'smart' options for their travels around narrow and hilly city streets. This Labor Day weekend at Marina Green Triangle on Saturday, September 3rd and Sunday, September 4th from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., participants can experience firsthand why the smart fortwo is the ultimate city car. With its best-in-class turning radius, convenient compact size and competitive fuel economy, the smart fortwo is the smart choice for San Francisco residents.
This summer, a selection of smart fortwo coupes and cabrios are road tripping across the U.S., stopping in a different city every weekend to allow residents to take the smart fortwo for a spin and earn a complimentary $20 gift card.
As the most affordable new convertible on the market, the smart fortwo cabrio allows drivers to fully experience the fresh California air as they drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. Participants in the Roadshow can enjoy the convertible lifestyle at the touch of a button as the smart fortwo opens up from a closed two-seater into a large sliding canvas sunroof.
San Francisco has a special place in the smart fortwo's heart—better known as a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine—as the redesigned smart fortwo features a new safety function, Hill Start Assist, designed with San Francisco in mind. Hill Start Assist maintains brake pressure to prevent unwanted rollback when driving on an incline.
The smart fortwo also offers a suite of driver assistance systems including Crosswind Assist to keep the vehicle in its lane in windy weather conditions and an optional proximity warning function to warn of potential collisions.
The all-new smart fortwo was redesigned from the ground up to provide ultimate urban mobility and self-expression. With a length of just 8.8 feet and a turning circle of 22.8 feet, the smart fortwo sets new benchmarks in maneuverability—perfect for urban driving.
For increased comfort and convenience, the smart fortwo includes the exclusive cross connect app, standard Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free calling, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, automatic climate control and 3.5" color display and alarm.
As an extension of the Mercedes-Benz product portfolio, the smart fortwo offers personalization, convenience, safety, efficiency and affordability—the 2016 smart fortwo coupe starts at $14,650 and the all-new smart fortwo cabrio starts at $18,900.
