The Smart #5, announced at the Beijing Motor Show as Concept #5, has now finally made its debut. It is the largest and most spacious car of the German brand, which with its tech-rich interior is worthy of comparison with Mercedes cars.

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. Midd-size Premium SUV at the European market will arrive early next year

The car is 4,705 mm long, which is similar in size to the Mercedes-Benz GLB, with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm. The design of the front of the car is well known, with the lights connected by a thin illuminated line. It is equipped with plastic linings, flat door handles and aerodynamically optimized rims like those on Rolls-Royce models. On the D-pillars is the Smart logo.

Those who want more can choose the Summit Edition version, which is equipped with roof lights, side steps and a ladder for easier access to the roof racks. Also, this model comes with underbody protection, an electric hook and an external luggage compartment.

The interior of the car is equipped with zero-gravity front seats, premium leather, oak details, electric sunshade, LED reading lights like those found in airplanes, an ambient lighting system with 256 colors, as well as a Sennheiser sound system with 21 speakers. In front of the driver is a 10.3-inch digital instrument panel, as well as two 13-inch screens (one for the infotainment system and the other containing a small lion avatar named Leo, as well as a state-of-the-art generative voice AI assistant that uses various sources to accurately respond to almost all questions). Also, there is a 25.6-inch AR head-up display.

Smart did not forget about the passengers in the back, who can now enjoy comfortable heated seats with adjustable backrests. Passengers can also count on a luggage space of up to 1,530 liters with the rear seats folded down, as well as 34 compartments for storing various items.

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. They will be equipped with a 100 kWh battery that enables a range of up to 740 kilometers. Also, thanks to 800V technology and a supercharger, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 15 minutes.
