smart’s vision seeks to not only minimize the overall mass of the vehicle, but also maximize the interior space for passenger comfort, embracing the minimalist design of many of the brand’s vehicles. to save additional space, the doors have a wing-like pivot over the rear axle — also reducing likely collisions with passing cyclists and pedestrians. by making steering wheels and pedals obsolete, the interior can become more spacious. the dashboard in the smart vision EQ fortwo is replaced by a 24 inch screen. the interior also prioritizes intelligent stowage, providing easily accessible storage options for easy accessibility and tightening straps for larger belongings.
