Η Smart began its journey in the automotive world following an agreement between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch with a shared vision: to create a compact, agile, and safe vehicle for urban life. The first model, the Smart City-Coupé (later renamed the Fortwo), was unveiled at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show and officially launched in 1998. Production began at the Hambach plant in France, which remained operational until 2022.
Since then, Smart has established itself as a symbol of urban mobility, introducing models like the Forfour and the Roadster. In 2019, the brand underwent a major transformation through a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely, aiming for a full transition to electric mobility. This shift led to the launch of Smart’s first fully electric model, the smart #1, in 2022.
The smart #1 has already received international acclaim, winning both the Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award, two of the most prestigious honors in global industrial design. These accolades confirm that Smart’s new all-electric vehicle is not only visually stunning but also technologically advanced.
Every element of the smart #1 has been crafted to offer exceptional ergonomics, practical solutions, and visual harmony. From the high-quality interior materials to the intelligently sculpted exterior, every detail is chosen to enhance daily life for both driver and passengers, even in ways you may not have expected.
The smart #3 is more than just an electric car. It’s a bold evolution in mobility, combining dynamic styling, advanced technology, and outstanding efficiency. As the newest fully electric SUV in the Smart lineup, it’s built for more — more range, more performance, more personality.
Its sleek, athletic lines and sculpted accents not only make a strong visual impact but also optimize aerodynamics, reducing drag and boosting range.
With a charging time of under 30 minutes (from 10% to 80% using 150 kW DC fast charging), the smart #3 is ready to go whenever you are. And with a maximum range of up to 455 km (WLTP), you can confidently navigate your daily urban journeys, or your next big adventure.
After 25 years of innovation, Smart remains committed to its original vision of sustainable and intelligent mobility. The shift to an all-electric vehicle lineup and a seamless charging ecosystem shows its commitment to a greener, connected future.
Smart continues to be the brand that thinks smart, designs smart, and moves smart, delivering solutions that fit the needs of contemporary urban life — today and tomorrow.
