Additionally, such a high torque isgenerated at 2,000 rpm, a 500 rpm lower than the precedingengine, and consistently maintained up to 4,000 rpm.
The more dynamic engine is mated with "SOFTOUCH", a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual-mode function.A new gear ratio was determined according to thepower/torque increases. Ease of use has been furtherimproved through the standard Hill Start Assist that aids theIn terms of safety, the second-generation smart city-coupé is safeguarded more comprehensively by the ESP®(Electronic Stability Program) and the BAS (Brake AssistSystem) as standard.
