The brand known for microcars will soon enter the electric SUV market with its largest model to date, the Smart #5. We'll get a first taste of the car with the presentation of a concept version at this month's China Auto Show in Beijing. The #5 aims to compete with established players like Tesla and the Mini Countryman, targeting China, Europe, and other key markets. Gone are the days when Smart was synonymous with microcar madness.
Advanced Architecture Meets Innovative Interior At its core, the Smart #5 SUV is built on Geely's SEA architecture, which is shared with Volvo’s EX30 and Zeekr X. The interior adopts an ovoid theme, dominated by a striking, huge infotainment display that covers the passenger-side dashboard, offering occupants a futuristic cabin experience. The production model will feature a massive screen extending to the passenger side.
