LOOKING cool in the city has taken on a new dimension thanks to a fresh example of chic design.
It is a special edition model of the Mercedes-owned smart fortwo micro car and named the edition urbanstyle.
Based on the 2010 passion model, the aggressively-styled edition urbanstyle will be limited to a UK production run of 230 coupé models – 160 of them featuring the 71bhp engine and 70 with the turbocharged 84bhp unit. A cabriolet version is available as a special order only.
With exclusive dark grey matt finish paintwork, which also extends to the six-spoke, 15-inch alloy wheels, and a tridion safety cell in gleaming black, the edition urbanstyle cuts a serious dash.
The sporty feel of the edition urbanstyle is also reflected in its interior thanks to heated, nappa leather black seats with yellow double stitching and reflective stripes, while the 3-spoke steering wheel and gear shift knob are also finished in nappa leather.
Door trims, knee pad and the instrument panel benefit from a leather-look finish and matt silver details and yellow accents complete the interior’s ambience.
In addition to the smart sound system with its two tweeters, pair of mid-range speakers, subwoofer and smart MP3 interface, the model also has an integrated audio and navigation system with touch screen, iPod/USB connectivity, Bluetooth and radio/CD.
“The edition urbanstyle offers a unique fusion of cutting-edge style and a level of equipment that features infotainment technology rarely seen in this sector,” said Mercedes-Benz UK managing director Dermot Kelly.
The smart fortwo edition urbanstyle costs from £11,495 on the road.
