The Smart forfour was introduced in Australia during 2003. The tested model was built in 2005. Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.

The European model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.

Dual front airbags, ABS/EBD brakes and electronic stability control are standard. Side (thorax) airbags are optional and were on the tested vehicle. Head-protection side airbags are optional in Europe but were not on the tested vehicle. An advanced seat belt reminder is fitted to the driver's seat. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash.
