The German automotive marque Smart is known as a manufacturer of small city cars, but even small ones eventually become big. This is how this company announced the presentation of Concept #5 of its largest and most spacious car for the Beijing Motor Show 2024.

Designed with slightly sharper lines compared to previous Smart models, the Concept #5 with its size takes a place between the other two German cars Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLB, which is not accidental because Smart cars are designed by the Mercedes design studio.

This premium mid-size SUV is built for all-terrain adventure. There for, it is equipped with off-road tires, underbody protection, roof racks with integrated LED lights and ropes on the hood, which is not the final list of equipment. The production model is expected to have higher ground clearance and a retractable rear step for roof access.

Concept #5 is the most spacious model of the German company equipped with four heated and ventilated seats and a footrest and integrated airbags. Additional equipment includes a digital instrument cluster and two OLED screens for the infotainment system, stellar ambient lighting in the doors, a portable speaker located on the center console and a glass bottom of the trunk.

It should also be noted that the car has the potential to integrate AI technology that allows passengers to participate in entertaining conversations with a virtual assistant, who will provide answers to almost any possible question.

When it comes to the powertrain, the SUV will be powered by two electric motors and will have all-wheel drive. It is believed to use Geely’s SEA platform, and will use 800V architecture instead of 400V technology. It will be equipped with a 100 kWh battery that will provide a range of 549 km. The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 15 minutes.

We will have more information on April 25, when the official premiere will be held.
