Auto Shangai: The Smart #3 at a glance 🎥
PREMIERE At the Auto Shanghai show, Smart presents the coupe version of the #1 model SUV. As for the base model, the exterior and interior of the coupe were designed by Mercedes design teams.
The Smart #3, which will be on display at the Shanghai auto show until April 27, is the Chinese brand's first SUV coupe. Smart is thus following the pattern of many electric car manufacturers who offer technically identical vehicles with family-friendly SUV and with sporty coupe bodies.
Front reminds of the Smart #1Â
The Smart #3 shares many elements with the Smart #1. In terms of design, however, the SUV Coupé goes its own way. The roof line drops sharply to the rear, turning the four-door car into a hatchback and the entire car into an SUV coupe. The roof arch extends all the way to the rear, creating space for an additional side window behind the rear doors. The front design is based on the Smart #1, and the exterior mirrors are also adopted. As usual, the alloy wheels are adorned with Smart logos on the hub.
Sound system with 13 speakers
In the interior of the upcoming new model, the chunky center console and the 12.8-inch touchscreen centrally located at the front stand out. A special atmosphere is created by the combination of natural light through the large glass roof and artificial ambient lighting. The long wheelbase results in generous space for rear passengers as well, and a sound system with 13 speakers provides entertainment at a high level.
Also available with all-wheel drive on request
The Smart #3 will be available with one or two electric motors, i.e. with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The single-motor version is rated at 200 kW, while the two-motor version will produce 115 kW at the front axle and 200 kW at the rear. The top speed is limited to 180 km/h.
The Smart #3 will celebrate its European premiere this year at the IAA Mobility (September 5-10, 2023) in Munich.
