the main feature of the forease is the wide open roof, that puts drivers ‘at the centre of the hustle and bustle of the city’. the smart forease has a paint finish in effect-rich metallic-white, which offers a subtle contrast to matt-silver tridion cell and ‘stream green’ accents both inside and outside. the vehicle’s seamlessly integrated door handles are recessed in the door.
in place of the car’s dashboard air vents two displays offer content projection from the ‘ready to’ app, which allows the driver to share their smart with friends or to monitor its functions. the speakers of the audio system are visibly integrated in the rear wall of the cockpit.
