The smart Roadshow travels to Denver this weekend

ATLANTA, Sept. 21, 2016 -- The smart fortwo rolling into Denver this weekend to give city dwellers a few 'smart' options for their city driving needs. At Wynkoop Plaza at Denver Union Station on Friday, September 23^rd and Saturday, September 24^th from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., the smart fortwo will be ready to take Denver residents for a spin.

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. Test drives take place in well-known city shopping malls or other high-traffic urban locations, where drivers who complete the test drive earn a complimentary $20 gift card.

The smart fortwo is ready to prove it's poised for high altitudes with active aerodynamics and a standard turbocharged engine that ensures maximum airflow and maintains peak performance at all elevations. With available heated seats, the smart fortwo is set for the first cold front of the season.

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, Hill Start Assist to maintain brake pressure to prevent unwanted rollback when driving on an incline 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 cabrio starts at $18,900.
