Smart historically used Mitsubishi and Renault engines. Smart is positioned as an urban premium micro-car brand. Smart specialises in micro urban cars (ForTwo, ForFour). DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Mercedes diesels. On older Mercedes diesels, Stage 1 is flashed over OBD with no complications. Mercedes diesels are known for smooth, quiet running, a hallmark of the premium segment.
The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. In the Mercedes commercial segment, Stage 1 focuses on torque. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench.
