Smart ForTwo ED Cabrio convertible 2017 pictures

The Smart ForTwo ED Cabrio is a two-seat electric city car

It's certainly niche, but rivals like the Renault Twizy and ZOE, Volkswagen e-up! and BMW i3 are great in the city too 

The fabric roof can retract like a large sunroof, or sit on top of the boot

The 81bhp electric motor provides brisk acceleration away from traffic lights

A compact battery pack limits the ForTwo ED Cabrio's range to 96 miles, or around 75 if you are less careful how you drive

Charging the batteries takes under three hours using a wallbox

The Electric Drive Design Package adds contrasting green and black/white paintwork with 'ED' decals for £600

The ForTwo ED Cabrio is well-equipped as standard, with leather upholstery and heated seats, along with reversing sensors

Sharp steering helps give the Smart a feeling of agility and fun, but it's best suited to town driving

At speeds above 50mph, the Smart's upright shape creates a strong breeze inside and lots of wind noise
