The debut of the new Smart #1 has generated a lot of interest. In addition to being the first electric SUV in the history of Smart , this new model can also boast of being the largest vehicle that the iconic firm specialized in urban cars will manufacture and market. The debut of the Smart #1 also marks the beginning of the transformation process that the brand will experience.

The new Smart #1 has been unveiled with a very interesting configuration. The electric propulsion system, which is carried out by Geely, consists of a 66 kWh battery that aims to power a single 200 kW (272 hp) motor and 343 Nm of maximum torque. The power is sent to the rear axle. So, despite being an SUV, it does not have all-wheel drive. Now, the brand is already studying how to remedy this situation.
