The 2017 Smart ForFour measures 3.50 m long and 1.67 m wide (including door mirrors). A standard UK parking bay is 2.4 m wide by 4.8 m long, so here's how it stacks up.

It fits comfortably, with roughly 0.73 m of width and 1.30 m of length left over in a standard bay. Parking should be straightforward in most spaces.

Its turning circle is 8.7 m (kerb to kerb) — tight, which makes slotting into a bay and manoeuvring in car parks noticeably easier.
