smart #1

I've had my smart BRABUS #1 for almost two weeks now and have driven a good 2,500 km already. Including through France to Paris. In addition, a wide variety of people have ridden it in the meantime and given further feedback.

Time to see how the smart BRABUS #1 does.

So now I've had the chance to test drive the all new smart SUV. The smart #1 is already very impressive in the pre-production version and well on the way to becoming a really popular car. In this post we'll take a look at what I've experienced in 2-3 hours and why the car made me speechless.

smart deliberately kept the equipment lines of the smart #1 very clear. Nevertheless, in the press release and on smart's own website, they are anything but clear. That's why I dealt with it and cleaned up the entire spectrum for you. In this article you can find out what great features are already available from the base and everything else.

The time has finally come: smart announces prices, equipment and BRABUS variants.
So far, the key data of the smart #1 has been convincing, and now the price too. The smart #1 is clearly trying to compete with vehicles in higher segments. Not least with the smart BRABUS #1 that is now officially presented and has a power output of 315 kW (428 hp) and a speed of 3.9 seconds.

At the Chengdu International Automobile Exhibition, smart announced the price and key data of the smart BRABUS #1 and also announced other models until 2024. In the same way, smart China confirms that the first #1 have rolled off the assembly line in series production and are scheduled to be delivered to Chinese customers in September.

Now it's official: The smart BRABUS #1

smart China has finally officially confirmed today that the cooperation with BRABUS will continue and has now shown the first photos. In addition, more and more information about the specs of this over 400 hp four-wheel drive monster is surfacing. You can find out what there is to see and what we know in this article.

While in Europe no prices or equipment details for the smart #1 are known, smart China has already opened pre-orders and in this context has also given prices. There is also a variant with a range of more than 500 km and the Brabus variant has now been practically confirmed by third parties.

The smart #1 has already convinced many with its specs. A 66 kWh battery, which he can charge with CCS 150 kW and 22 kW type 2 and discharge via a 270 hp rear motor. In addition, many little helpers, a modern interior and everything else that you can dream of.

But how does it feel? How is he in reality?
I've had the honer to check it out in person and get everything explained and I would like to tell you about it here.

The time had finally come, smart presented the #1 in its final version.

All key data on the brand's first SUV can of course be found at smart eMotion. Also, don't forget to comment below. I'll be at smart tomorrow and I'll have an exclusive demonstration of the vehicle. Of course, I'm also happy to ask your questions.

smart confirmed in its last press release that the smart #1 will be presented in April. Also, very detailed photos of two prototypes were leaked last night.
Reason enough to summarize what we can expect from the production car.

Today, smart announced the name of their beacon of hope. They also show how the all-electric SUV performs in winter at - 40°C and proudly present the results from the wind tunnel.

It was presented as a study at the IAA last year and the new smart SUV is scheduled to arrive at the end of this year. Now the first photos of a prototype have been posted on one of China's largest social networks. What there is to see and my thoughts on it are in this article.

They had already told me at the IAA that smart wants to bring the Concept # 1 presented at the IAA onto the market as soon as 2022. They were able to take most of my skepticism about the tight schedule and now I can show you how serious they mean it.

These days smart applied for a patent for the production version of the Concept # 1 and for this they also had to show pictures of the final car.

Now the time had come, smart presented the latest study and thus also showed where the journey will go in the future. On Friday I was allowed to look at the study on site and ask smart my and your questions. The future is exciting and smart has big plans. The most important is now in the following article.

So yesterday evening the time had come. The smart Concept # 1 ("Concept hashtag one") was presented. A purely electric smart SUV in the B segment, which will start a new era for smart. It immediately becomes clear that smart has big plans and is striving to break with the brand's previous vehicles. Everything will be different, everything will be new, everything will be 2022 or even more futuristic.

“We’re celebrating an important milestone with the smart Concept #1, which is the forerunner…

Daimler is working with Geely to build the next generation of smart vehicles. The first one is going be the formore called SUV, which will also realign the brand. As previously reported, it will be based on the SEA2 platform. Geely now provides minimum specs for it's platform, which can then also be transferred to the smart.

They promise remarkable ranges and attractive charging times. Both many times better than what this vehicle segment had to offer up till now.


More range, less charging time -…

Smart seems to be slowly teasing how the smart SUV Concepts is going to look like. The brand is going to present it at the IAA 2021 in Munich.

Together with Geely, smart wants to deliver the first vehicles to customers in 2022. A tight schedule, which is why the first binding decisions have to be made now. In addition, the brand must try to take their fan base with them.
