Smart ForTwo 2004 vs Hyundai Coupe 2004
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 0.8 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Smart ForTwo) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Hyundai Coupe) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 41 HP | 143 HP | |
| Torque: | 100 NM | 186 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 19.8 seconds | 9.1 seconds | |
|
Hyundai Coupe is a more dynamic driving. Smart ForTwo engine produces 102 HP less power than Hyundai Coupe, whereas torque is 86 NM less than Hyundai Coupe. Due to the lower power, Smart ForTwo reaches 100 km/h speed 10.7 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 3.4 | 8.0 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 4.3 l/100km | 9.1 l/100km | |
|
The Smart ForTwo is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Smart ForTwo consumes 4.6 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Hyundai Coupe, which means that by driving the Smart ForTwo over 15,000 km in a year you can save 690 litres of fuel.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Hyundai Coupe) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Smart ForTwo) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
