The Smart Formore was a planned small all-wheel drive SUV that Smart, the small-car brand then run by DaimlerChrysler, developed but never put on sale. It was to share the platform of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the same architecture was to underpin the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class. Engines were to range from a 1.8 litre four-cylinder to a 3.0 litre V6, including diesel versions, and production was planned at the DaimlerChrysler plant in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, rather than at the French Smartville factory. It was meant to be Smart's first official model of this size for the United States, where only the Fortwo was eventually offered. Development was halted in April 2005 because the brand was still unprofitable and the Formore was costing more than expected. A concept planned for the 2005 Frankfurt show never appeared, and the concept was found in a Mercedes-Benz storage building in 2009 and shown officially in 2019.
