Smart #1 : a trendy, urban SUV
A world apart from models guaranteeing its success before the second millennium, the #1 is a 5-seater and all-electric. If a category exists that escapes all social allegiance, it is indeed the cool urban car. Though few manufacturers know how to instill it for long within the public’s subconscious.
4.27 metres long, ie. 1.58 metres more than the last Fortwo, the Smart #1 claims a maximum range of 440 km and under 30 minutes of charging time. It proudly flaunts a Red Dot Award and an iF Design Award. Its panoramic sunroof invites you to admire the view. Though spaciousness is the key word : as demonstrated by the rear benchseat allowing the trunk to be extended when required.
The 12.8’’ central display gives access to all of the vehicle’s functionalities. Frameless doors with smooth, electric handles enhance the car’s aerodynamics, while 64 colours and 20 levels of ambient lighting invite you to set the mood. Several lines to choose from : Pro, Pro +, Premium, Pulse and Brabus, with no less than 428 hp, from 36,315 to 47,815 € excluding options.
Little Smart treats include duo-leather seats, 10’’ head-up display, a 13-speaker Beats audio system, an on-board heat pump and air conditioning, and all-wheel drive, all ensuring the ultimate in performance. From front and rear, the Smart #1 is seamless, with a ribbon of light connecting lights and headlamps. You can check the battery’s recharge status from your smartphone, and the presence of terminals in a high-performance European network. The only flaw is that the model produced in China could be deprived of an environmental bonus.
