Smart will show a new concept at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, previewing a production model that will follow in the second half of the year. The Smart #5 is dubbed as the most spacious and versatile vehicle of the brand to date. It will join the #1 and #3 electric crossovers with a larger footprint, a boxier stance, and a more adventurous character. Smart published official sketches of the Concept #5, which previews its first entry in the premium midsize SUV segment.
The #5 has muscular fenders, an upright tail, short overhangs, and massive wheels which are always exaggerated in sketches. The interconnected lighting units that resemble a pair of sunglasses are a reference to the #1 and #3 albeit with a boxier shape. The concept also has a fancy roof rack that integrates inflatable chairs, winterboards, and a folding shovel.
