Additional Notes

  • Across all four configurations of the Smart fortwo 453, the automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 1.7 liters, applying to the transaxle in each case.
  • The 1.7-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul or dry fill of the transmission assembly.
  • All listed configurations share a semi-automatic dual-clutch transmission (DCT) transaxle, which is a layout where the transmission and drive axle are housed as a combined unit, common in rear-engined compact vehicles.
  • The capacity specification applies under normal use conditions across all four configurations, meaning the 1.7-liter fill is not adjusted for severe driving cycles in the data provided.
  • The Smart fortwo 453.341 (45 kW) and the 453.342/343/442/443 (52 kW) variants share not only the same fluid capacity but also the same transmission type and use condition classification, despite differing in power output.
  • The fortwo Brabus 453.462/362 rated at 80 kW carries the same 1.7-liter transaxle capacity as the lower-output variants, indicating the DCT unit dimensions are consistent across the power range in the 453 generation.
  • The Brabus variant has a starting model year of 2016, while the remaining three configurations carry a starting year of 2014, reflecting a later introduction within the 453 generation lineup.
