The Smart #1 (stylised as "smart #1") is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV developed and produced by Smart Automobile, a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Group and Geely Holding. It is the first vehicle produced by the joint venture. The model is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely.[5][6][7] In China, the model is marketed as the Smart Jingling #1 (Chinese: 精灵#1; pinyin: Jingling Yihao; literally: 'Elf #1').

Overview

The production version was unveiled on 7 April 2022.[8][9] It was developed under the codename HX11, with Mercedes-Benz providing the design while Geely handled engineering and production.[10][11]

Prices for the European market were announced in September 2022.[12]

Concept Car

The vehicle was previewed by the Concept #1, which was showcased at the 2021 International Motor Show Germany (IAA) on September 5 in Munich, with features like concealed electric door handles, frameless doors, and a floating halo roof.[13][14][15] It has a drag coefficient of 0.29. The concept emphasized digitalization with extensive connectivity features and over-the-air updates.[16]

First generation (2022)

The Smart #1 is equipped with a 12.8-inch touchscreen with a customizable user interface and ambient lighting. The vehicle offers connectivity through a dedicated app and an AI-based voice control system. It is powered by a 200 kW (268 hp; 272 PS) electric motor. Charging options include 22 kW AC charging and DC fast charging. Safety features include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and a range of safety technologies.

Exterior changes includes red accents on the bumpers, intakes, door sills, mirror caps, roof and improved brake calipers to handle the extra power, and a matte grey exterior finish and black emblems.[17][18] It is powered by an additional 115 kW (156 PS; 154 hp) electric motor in the front to form an all-wheel drive layout, producing a total output of 315 kW (428 PS; 422 hp) with a claimed 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) figure of 3.9 seconds.
