The Smart Fortwo is mainly sold in two countries
- The Smart Fortwo launched in 1998 experienced a first redesign in early 2007 and its second redesign late 2014. Since its beginnings, we have found that this model is sold mainly in Germany (home of Daimler that owns Smart) with a peak of 33 000 sales in 2008 and in Italy (European homeland for small A segment cars) with a peak of 33 000 sales in 2008.
- The launch of the Fortwo in the US in 2008 has created a new trend (25 000 sales that year) that was quickly dispelled. Today, the Fortwo is selling at half the peak reached in 2008 (12 500 sales).
- France ranks fifth in terms of Fortwo sales. It is possible that the development of alternative transportation has slowed its spread in the Paris region, Fortwo's main sales region of France.
- It should be noted that the Fortwo is intended primarily for urban areas, while it sells very little in peri-urban areas. In the US for example, the Fortwo's is mostly sold in major cities on the East Coast, like New York.
- In Germany, the significant number of large cities has encouraged the spread of the Fortwo in the country.
- In China finally sales of the Fortwo will reach 15 000 units in 2015, while sales in previous years were marginal. China has gradually become the third country in terms of sales of the Fortwo, behind Germany and Italy and ahead of the United States and France.
