Mercedes-Benz smart can be driven on highways. Here is more information about the Mercedes-Benz smart: 1. The Mercedes-Benz smart is a micro urban commuter car. During the design process, the smart retained the creativity of the concept car while incorporating both stylish and practical advantages. Its compact shape, combined with intelligent and user-friendly control design, makes the smart model resemble a clever big toy. 2. In terms of safety, the new smart fortwo adopts a unique tridion safety body structure to ensure high rigidity, with the proportion of high-strength steel and ultra-high-strength steel reaching up to 72%. The new generation of Mercedes-Benz smart also features a crosswind stabilization assist system. In fact, this kind of intelligent active safety system is Mercedes-Benz's specialty, currently applied to models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, GL-Class, and GLA-Class.
I've driven the Mercedes Smart on the highway a few times and feel it's perfectly capable of highway driving as long as the vehicle is well-maintained. Its compact size means higher wind resistance, especially on windy days when it can feel a bit floaty, so it's best to maintain a moderate speed and avoid going too fast. In terms of fuel consumption, the Smart is quite economical on the highway—just as fuel-efficient as in the city, with a full tank taking you a long way. However, the seat comfort is average, and long drives might cause back pain, so taking breaks is advisable. Safety is also reliable as long as you follow traffic rules and keep a safe distance from larger vehicles. Overall, as a daily commuter car, it's absolutely suitable for short highway trips—both convenient and energy-efficient.
