Unofficial photos we have already noticed the electric coupe SUV, but now it is Smart # 3 also officially presented. The premiere took place on exclusive event marks in the frame Shanghai Motor Show.
Even more sports interpretation she developed Smart's design Mercedes global design team, Smart said. Compared to photos recently released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, official photographs they don't offer much added value. But for the first time, we can see interior photo and this confirms that the cockpit looks similar to the model Smart # 1. But the press release doesn't say much. Smart is limited to describing optics. They are inside 12,8-inch horizontal screen and a small instrument display. In addition, the brand mentions Haloroof, without explaining what it was supposed to be. Available exterior finishes they also include new colors such as Photon Orange Metallic in Electric Blue Matte, and it is also available for the interior Vibrant Brown version.
Smart he has not yet given any details about the technology, only the Chinese ministry has released some facts. That being said, it is Smart # 3 long exactly 4,40 or 4,542 meters. The longer version will probably be the performance Brabus, because even with Smart #1 it is slightly longer. Smart # 3 is with 4,40 meters for 13 centimeters longer from the current model. Wheelbase 2,785 meters but it is longer for 3,5 centimeters. Height 1,556 meters on the other hand, it is for 8 centimeters lower, which means that the coupe version should be significantly better in terms of aerodynamics. Much is already unofficially known about the drive as well. Such as Smart # 1 will also Smart # 3 available with one and two engines, and the performance data is the same. The single engine version has 200 kW, and the version with four-wheel drive 115 kW at the front in 200 kW at the back, so together 315 kW. Top speed too 180 km/h is the same as Smart #1.
Happiness batteries but we are left to guess. The car should probably get the same battery 61 kWh (beta performance) as #1. As for reach, it will depend on how much more weight it brings longer length and whether this is offset by better aerodynamics. Value by WLTP it probably won't be much different than at Smart # 1, i.e. the maximum 400 kilometers. Smart has also officially announced that it will European premiere of the new Smart #3 in September on IAA. At the end of the year, the car should be introduced in the first European countries. Smart #1 is available from 41.490 euros, and prices for the larger model are likely to be higher.
