This is how the B- Column slimmer than the closed Smart. In addition, the cut of the Tridion cell has been subtly modified. It presents itself visually with more pull to the front. The highlight of the Smart Fortwo Cabrio is still its convertible top construction. The soft top, which is available in red, blue or black, continues to act between two removable roof bars that can be stowed in the trunk lid. At the push of a button it moves back and lies down on the rear with its heated glass rear window. The rear side windows cannot be retracted, however. A small fin on the windshield frame ensures air calming in the interior. The convertible top can also be operated while driving up to maximum speed. When the vehicle is stationary, the transformation can also be commanded by remote control on the key.

To compensate for the lack of a fixed roof, the Smart Fortwo Cabrio received a large steel cross screwed under the vehicle floor, two torsion bulkheads under the vehicle in front and behind reinforced A-pillars.
