Smart #1 Compact SUV Electric Vehicle Is Smart’s First Electric SUV

Smart, the super adorable city car that was once a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, has been reborn as a new independent brand under Smart Automobile Co., Ltd which is co-owned by Mercedes-Benz and China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.

SMH (Société de Microélectronique et d’Horlogerie), makers of the Swatch brand of watches that originally started the idea of Smart was out of the picture in the late 90s after Daimler-Benz bought out SMH’s remaining stake in the company (formerly known as MCC, or Mercedes City Car).

Anyhoo, the Smart #1 Compact SUV you see here is the first car from the partnership minted in 2019. The Smart #1 is a sleek, rear-wheel drive compact SUV that is electrically driven by a 200 kW (272 PS) electric motor with 343 Nm (253 lb-ft) on the tap. It has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).

The car uses an NCM battery system with a max capacity of 66 kWh, offering 420-440 km or about 260-273 miles WLTP range. It will support 22 kW AC and 150 kW DC charging. The former charges 10-80% in 3 hours while the latter is able to top up to 80% in just 30 minutes.
