The striking rear spoiler, 19-inch alloys, and frameless doors add a touch of sportiness.
Inside, the #3 boasts a high-quality design with a floating center console and sumptuous two-tone leather seats. The state-of-the-art infotainment system is housed in a high-resolution 12.8-inch touchscreen, linked to a 13-speaker audio system. The cockpit also features a panoramic roof, a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and ambient lighting.
The Smart #3 offers practical storage solutions with a boot capacity of 370 liters, expandable to 1,160 liters when the 60:40 split rear seats are folded. Additionally, there is a 15-liter "frunk" for extra storage.
The Smart #3 is powered by an all-electric motor with rear-wheel drive, generating 268bhp and delivering 343Nm of torque. For those seeking higher performance, the all-wheel drive Brabus variant produces an impressive 423bhp, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
Buyers can choose between 47 or 62kWh battery packs, offering ranges of 415 to 455 kilometers (WLTP). The #3 supports both 22kWh (AC) and 150kW (DC) fast charging, with charging times from 10% to 80% in under three hours (AC) and under 30 minutes (DC).
