At the 2024 Beijing Motor Show, Smart unveiled its largest and most spacious car, the Concept #5. Now the German automotive marque announces the arrival of the Smart #5, which will debut on August 28.
The company released several sketches where we can see that the electric SUV is similar in size to the Mercedes-Benz GLB with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, which is also the size of the Tesla Model Y. There are LED lights on the roof while the luggage boxes are on the C-pillar. There are also muscular fenders with massive wheels.
The Smart #5 is an important car for the German manufacturer, with which the company hopes to steal a certain number of customers from competitors such as the most popular car in the world last year, the Tesla Model Y. There are no photos of the interior yet, but in April spy photos revealed that it futures massive digital screen that extends to the passenger side.
When it comes to the powertrain, Smart has not released any information. However, from some other sources it is known that there will be four options, two with a single electric motor with 340 hp and 363 hp. The other two options will be powered by two electric motors, one on the front axle with 224 hp and one on the rear axle with 363 hp or 422 hp.
