Three weeks after the Smart ForTwo Cabrio went on sale in Europe, Americans welcome the least expensive convertible on the market.
The first examples will arrive at US dealers this fall and for $18,900, you will get the entry-level Passion grade, with a five-speed manual transmission, but if you opt for the six-speed dual-clutch automatic, it starts from $19,890, with both prices excluding a $750 destination and delivery charge.
If things may seem somewhat affordable so far, keep in mind that the manufacturer also offers two additional trim levels, the mid-range Prime and the top-of-the-line Proxy. Choose the latter and get some optional features and you will have to pay at least $21,000 for the convertible city car.
All versions of the new Smart ForTwo Cabrio carry a soft-top that has the ability to retract automatically in 12 seconds. The roof can be had in either black or dark red, at no extra cost, but if you want to enjoy the full convertible experience, then you have to pull over, remove the roof bars by hand and store them in the tailgate.
