Automobile concern Daimler AG, which produces including the model range "Smart City Car, going to re-initiate work on an old project to build a miniature crossover. Smart crossover... It sounds funny and intriguing at the same time. It's funny because it's hard to imagine such a small car in the role of a SUV, but intriguing, because with the design imagination of Daimler AG engineers everything is in order, and if they promise, they can surprise us with an unusual conceptual solution. Generally in the global automotive industry today family cars SUV (to put it simply, parquet SUVs) is a trend, since the growth of interest in models from this segment is constantly growing. And growing steadily and not the first for a year. Well, people like parquet SUVs. Daimler AG first appeals to the idea create a SUV based on Smart еще десять лет назад, но по разным причинам, в том числе и недостаточного финансирования проект пришлось заморозить. Руководство концерна сегодня отмечает, что собирается достичь успеха через расширение технических и функциональных возможностей уже существующих моделей, что позволит существенно расширить их диапазон, в том числе это коснется и family cars SUV.

By the way, “Smarts”, as the March statistics of this year show, are selling well in our Russian conditions of an unstable car market. As a result, deliveries of this segment of cars grew by more than twenty percent. The prices, despite the external "frivolity" of the Smart car, are impressive. So, Smart Fortwo coupe with a liter 71-horsepower engine costs from 580000 rubles, and Smart Fortwo cabrio also with a liter, but with a 84 horsepower engine, will cost the buyer in the amount of 870,000 rubles. Following the logic of these price tags, new model of smart crossover will be much more expensive. On the technical features of the car so far nothing is known.
