The entry-level Smart #3 got a rear-wheel drive with an electric motor for 200 kW (272 hp) produced by Viridi E-mobility Technology Company, owned by Geely Group. It already underpins quite a lot of cars, including Lotus Eletre, Polestar 3, Volvo EX90, Zeekr 001, Zeekr 002, Radar RD6, Jidu ROBO-1, Smart #1, etc. So we are sure that the #3 will continue a long tradition of Brabus-branded speedy Smarts.Īs mentioned, the Smart #3 stands on the SEA platform, designed by Geely.

But previously we have seen a spy shot of the Smart #3 with seats branded Brabus.

The interior of the #3 wasn’t shown in MIIT announcements. As for the gross weight of the #3, it reaches 2305 kilos. The Smart #3 is also a pretty heavy vehicle with a weight 1740 – 1890 kg, depending on a powertrain type. It’s longer than the Volkswagen Tiguan! The Smart #3 can tow up to 1600 kilos. With it installed, the #3’s length reaches 4542 mm. Worth mentioning that the Smart #3 can be even longer, thanks to the hitch tow hook. So it looks like an era of small ‘Smarts’ has gone. In contrast, it is 130 mm longer, 22 mm wider, and 80 mm lower than the Smart #1. As for the Brabus version, it has also got a slot in the bonnet.Īs for the dimensions of the Smart #3, they are 4400/1844/1556 mm with a wheelbase of 2785 mm. Mainly because of a sloppy coupe-shaped roofline and bumpers, the Smart #3 looks way sportier than the Smart #1. But the body shape of the #3 significantly differs from the #1.

It has the same headlights, a taillight unit, mirrors, pop-out door handles, Smart logos on C-pilars, etc. The exterior of the Smart #3 stays in line with the Smart #1. In this project, Mercedes-Benz only handles exterior and interior design, while Geely is responsible for the tech and manufacturing. We will remind you that Geely and Mercedes-Benz jointly develop Smart EVs. It stands on Geely’s SEA platform and has up to 428 horses. The Smart #3 (HC11) was unveiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China. Do you know what goes after number 1? Smart has its own creative answer.
