A smart has never been so great!
When you think of smart, you probably think of the compact, two-seater city car and not immediately of a spacious, five-seater, fully electric SUV. Then meet the new smart #1, which is just as smart and revolutionary as the first smart. Its spacious and contemporary interior exudes quality and durability and with a tow weight of no less than 1,600 kg, the smart #1 occupies a unique position among its competitors.
In the 1990s, smart caused a worldwide sensation with the innovative and extremely manoeuvrable Fortwo. The smart #1 heralds a new era for smart and is the first car to emerge from the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Geely, bringing together the best of both worlds. With its idiosyncratic appearance, the smart #1 immediately distinguishes itself and its youthful, frivolous character is in line with smart’s brand values.
High quality and spacious interior
Place the smart #1 next to its two-seater cousin and you will see how big it is. Take a seat behind the wheel and you will experience the seating position and the space you would expect from a mid-sized SUV. And there is also plenty of leg and headroom for the rear passengers. The cooperation with Mercedes-Benz is clearly reflected in the interior. High-quality materials, attractive design, good ergonomics and a large panoramic roof contribute to driving pleasure. Every detail has been thought through and together with the rich equipment, this puts the smart #1 at the premium level.
Signature lighting
An important design feature of the new smart #1 is the lighting. That starts with the shape of the light units, which give the smart #1 a unique and characterful look at the front and rear. The headlights look like works of art and are equipped with intelligent LED technology, so that you have an optimal light beam in all circumstances. The illuminated grille and the continuous light bar that connects the taillights also act as welcome lights as you approach the car. In the interior, the ambient lighting with a choice of 64 colors and 20 lighting levels creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Always plenty of security
You can expect a new car to have all available safety and assistance systems on board. The smart #1 has them all, on every version. The adaptive cruise control and active lane assist keep the car in its lane and you always stay at a safe distance from the vehicle in front. In addition, this system takes over driving tasks if you end up in a traffic jam and on the highway or on motorways it ensures that you arrive at your destination less tired.
Open and launch with your smartphone
The connectivity of the new smart #1 means that you can unlock the doors with your smartphone and you no longer need a key to drive away. In combination with the Hello smart app, you can control and monitor all kinds of things remotely. Such as the charging status and the exact location of your smart #1, and you can already turn on the heating or air conditioning. The updates of the system go ‘over the air’ (OTA), so you do not have to visit the workshop or download software on your computer.
More than 400 km range, 1,600 kg tow weight
The fact that the fully electric smart #1 also feels at home outside the urban environment is evident from the range of more than 400 kilometers. With a fast charger, thanks to the charging speed of 150 kW, you can already recharge more than two hundred kilometers of range in less than twenty minutes. What you can also expect from an SUV is a high towing weight. With a maximum trailer load of 1,600 kg, the smart #1 impresses.
The new and 100 percent electric smart #1 is available as Launch Edition, BRABUS, Premium and Pro+. You can easily configure and order your own smart #1 at home from your laptop, tablet or PC and you can contact the official Mercedes-Benz dealer for delivery and all after sales.
