Smart: Ready for anything
AUTOMOTIVE EXHIBITION With the Concept #5, Smart is presenting a particularly versatile, voluminous electric SUV at the major motor show in Beijing on Thursday. It can be used to travel far beyond the confines of urban areas.
A Smart has never been so big and so versatile. The #5 SUV concept, which the Chinese manufacturer will unveil at the International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing next Thursday, is designed to significantly increase the range of a Smart. The car combines outdoor design and all-wheel drive with state-of-the-art safety and comfort features.
With 800-volt technology
The 800-volt electric drive works with a battery capacity of more than 100 kWh. This allows the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 15 minutes. After that, it has a range of around 550 kilometers. To be ready for any driving situation, five driving modes are offered.
Crossing borders
Dirk Adelmann, CEO Smart Europe, says: "For more than a quarter of a century, Smart has played an important role in urban mobility. The surprising Concept #5 study is the most versatile model we have ever presented. With it, we are pushing boundaries and opening up a new segment for our customers." The concept vehicle will celebrate its world premiere on April 25 in Beijing. The production-ready version will then be launched in the second half of the year.
