about 5 feet tall. Whether you’re in the market for a new efficient car or just
curious what the hype is all about, here is a brief history of the Smart Car and
where it stands in the U.S. auto market. Whether you love them or hate them, this

There have been major concerns about Smart Cars being unsafe and unstable in
the event of a collision. They have shown to be less stable than larger vehicles at
high speeds as well. Therefore, Smart Cars are typically recommended for city

Smart Car engines are located in the trunk, rather than the front of the vehicle. To
make Smart Cars safer, the manufacturer uses a Tridion steel safety shell to
enclose the entire vehicle and it’s performed well in crash tests. At the front of the
Smart Car, there is a small energy-absorbing crumple zone to reduce impact.
