It makes sense that the Smart #3 (especially on the inside) resembles a Mercedes. But the greatest Smart of all time also has something of a Porsche Cayenne.
Of Smart #3 is a fully electric SUV coupe. He resembles the Smart #1, but with rounder shapes and a sloping roofline. The new Smarts under Chinese knot no longer have anything to do with the small city cars of the past.
The Smart #3 is significantly larger than the Smart #1, which in turn is the old one Fortwo in Forfour already fades. The 4.4 meter long (and 1.8 wide) newcomer is 13 centimeters longer than the #1. The wheelbase has been stretched by 4 centimeters to 2.79 meters. However, the Smart #3 is 8 centimeters lower due to its coupe shape.

The Smart #3 is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, which is also used by, among others Lotus, Polestar and Volvo is used. They therefore have the same parent group: the large Geely from China. Although Smart is also half German. The roles are divided as follows: Mercedes designs the cars, Geely builds them. And secretly they also seem to have looked at that other South German brand in Stuttgart ...
In the interior we see a central 12.8-inch multimedia screen and a 9.2-inch digital instrument panel. We also spot the influence that Mercedes has on the design in the three round ventilation grilles under the central touch screen.
The Smart #3 is equipped with a battery pack of 66 kWh. The Smart #3 range is 455 kilometers (WLTP) for the Premium and 25th Anniversary versions. The entry-level Pro+ has a range of 435 kilometers. Top version Brabus with standard AWD comes 415 kilometers away on a full battery. The maximum charging speed of all four versions is 150 kW. This allows you to charge the Smart #3 in less than half an hour (10-80 percent).

The Smart #3 Brabus is four-wheel drive with an extra electric motor and kicks it up to 428 hp. You can drive 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The top speed is 180 km/h, regardless of the version.
