The larger formore was to be released worldwide (including the United States) in 2006. It was a small all wheel drive SUV, riding on the same platform as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The architecture would be shared with the Mercedes-Benz MLK-Class, a proposed SUV that would be smaller than the M-Class. Power would have ranged from a 1.8 L straight-4 to a 3.0 L V6, including Diesel versions. Production was to have been carried out at DaimlerChrysler's factory in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, rather than the French Smartville factory.
The formore was to be smart's first official entry in the United States market. However, DaimlerChrysler is considering a limited entry into the market, with just the fortwo, essentially in urban areas. Development of the formore has been halted since April 2005, due to DaimlerChrysler's monetary concerns (the smart brand had yet to make a profit after eight years in operation, and the formore was costing more money to develop than anticipated).
