Is the Smart Car Allowed on Highways?
1 Answers
Smart cars are permitted to drive on highways. Below are the specific reasons why Smart cars are not well-suited for highway driving: 1. Limited range: The Smart car's fuel tank has a capacity of only about 30 liters. Despite being equipped with a fuel-efficient small-displacement three-cylinder engine, its range is only approximately 200 kilometers. 2. Underpowered: The 0.9T three-cylinder engine in the Smart car shows noticeable sluggishness during mid-to-high speed acceleration, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 12 seconds. Smart cars are more suitable for low-to-medium speed urban driving conditions. 3. Vehicle type unsuitable: Smart cars are too light and have a relatively high center of gravity, making them prone to losing control at highway speeds.
