European premiere of the all-electric smart #3 with its 25th Anniversary Edition model

The all-electric smart #3 made its European debut at the IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich after its unveiling at the Auto Shanghai in April earlier this year. The vehicle features a sporty coupé body, athletic curves, and a powerful “shark nose.” The wide A-shaped grill and slim LED headlights skillfully round off the front view. The rear is accentuated by a striking spoiler. The large wheels also blend harmoniously into the sporty look; the BRABUS even sports 20-inch rims. With a length of 4.4 meters and a width of 1.8 m the car combines a sleek coupé exterior with a comfortable and roomy interior. Another design highlight is the panoramic halo roof, which sets the mood in the smart #3. The 25th Anniversary Edition even features a panoramic galaxy roof, enhanced by LED details within the panoramic glass panel. The interior features elegant duo leather seats with an integrated headrest.

The sporty appearance of the SUV coupé is also reflected in an impressive performance: peak power ranges from 315 kW for the BRABUS to 200 kW for the other lines which sets a benchmark in this segment. In terms of acceleration, the smart #3 performs even sportier than the #1: In the BRABUS version, the SUV coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The Pro+, as an entry-level line, is also impressive at 5.8 seconds. The smart #3 also increases its overall range: to between 435 and 455 km. The optimized suspension system and the 2785 mm wheelbase combined with a very aerodynamic body featuring a drag coefficient of just 0.27 enable a dynamic driving experience. A convenient charging experience remains a high priority for smart. With its efficient DC-charging technology with a performance of up to 150 kW/h, the smart #3 charges from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes. In addition, the new model comes with a variety of driving assistance systems such as a highway assistant (HWA) and automatic parking assist (APA).

As a special treat for all smart fans, the brand has announced that it will be releasing a limited 25th Anniversary Edition. It combines a unique and exclusive special appearance with features from Premium and design elements from BRABUS, a range of 455 km, 22kW AC charging and an infotainment system consisting of a 12.8-inch central display, a 9.2-inch HD instrument cluster and a 10-inch head-up display, as well as a Beats sound system with 13 speakers. The exclusive design is guaranteed to attract attention: The 25th Anniversary Edition comes in white with red highlights, black and white leather seats, a very individual panoramic galaxy roof and a sporty body style.

There will also be a further co-creation with smart’s long-term partner BRABUS that will accelerate the heartbeat of enthusiasts for spirited driving. As usual, BRABUS takes a sportier direction, offering bigger wheels, sporty pedals, a specially developed engine sound design for a motorsport feel, and all-wheel drive (AWD). For those looking for a luxurious experience, the Premium offers CyberSparks LED+ headlights, ambient lighting in the interior and a Beats sound system on top. At the entry price point, the Pro+ line is beautifully designed with concealed door handles and comes with a 12.8-inch central display, as well as highway and traffic jam assistants and a wireless charging option.

For Germany, the prices start at € 43,490 for the Pro+, € 46,490 for the Premium, € 46,990 for the 25th Anniversary Edition and € 50,990 for the BRABUS.
