Smart has released new details about its upcoming electric SUV – the #1.
Signalling the start of a new period of reinvention for Smart – which is now a joint venture between Mercedes and Chinese automotive giant Geely – the arrival of the #1 marks a push upmarket for the brand.
It has now been announced that following its unveiling last month, the #1 will go on sale in December 2022 ahead of first deliveries commencing in the middle of 2023.
Underneath the #1 sits a 268bhp electric motor hooked up to a 66kWh battery, enabling a claimed range of up to 273 miles. Plus, rapid charging means that the battery can be taken from 10 to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes.
“Our Launch Edition offers customers an exclusive opportunity to be the first to experience our vision for a new generation of fully electric urban mobility when it hits the road mid-next year.”
Smart has yet to announce full pricing for the #1, but it’s expected that this will be revealed very soon.
