The 2016 Smart Fortwo and Forfour are at the 2014 Paris Motor Show showing off their brand new looks for their latest generations, and the company hopes that an extensive list of changes can give the brand a much-needed boost.

The redesign definitely gives siblings a personality while keeping Smart's traditional looks. These happy-go-lucky hatchbacks have a slight upward curve with headlights in either corner that make both of them appear to be smiling. With about 40 different available color schemes, buyers should have no problem finding just the right shade to fit their style.

Underneath the jovial look is an all-new platform shared with the similarly quirky Renault Twingo. Mounted in the rear are a trio of available three-cylinder gasoline engines with 60-, 71- and 90-horsepower on offer. Gearbox options amount to either a five-speed manual or Smart's "twinamic" dual-clutch transmission.

Despite their diminutive size, Smart is touting the new models' safety with features like standard crosswind assist. Plus, they were crash tested against the much larger Mercedes-Benz C-Class and S-Class and performed admirably.

The latest Fortwo is expected to arrive in the US eventually, but the Forfour is a less likely addition. Scroll down to check out promo videos for both of them and read the official press release.Continue reading 2016 Smart Fortwo and Forfour show their smiling new faces [w/videos]
