What is the SMART #5?
Smart #5 Overview
Meet the all-electric Smart #5, a bold shift from city-sized hatchbacks to a family-sized, tech-savvy SUV. Built in China, with Geely's 800V SEA platform and Mercedes-Benz’s design input, this all-wheel-drive powerhouse pumps out 587 hp, hits 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds, and stretches up to 594 km (369 miles) on a full 100 kWh battery. Priced at $53,500 (€49,200), it takes a direct shot at Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 territory—only with more flair, gadgets, and charging muscle.
Exterior and Functional Design
Visually tougher than its #1 and #3 siblings, the #5 trades curves for sharp, upright proportions and squared LED signatures. That 4.7-meter (185 inches) length and 2.9-meter (114-inch) wheelbase translate into real room inside. Rugged trims like the Summit Edition pile on extras like a side ladder and roof rack, nudging it closer to electric overland fantasy than suburban shuttle. The chunky D-pillar and oversized Smart badge announce its arrival—loudly and proudly.
Performance and All-Wheel Drive Thrills
With 587 horsepower (438 kW) on tap in AWD form, this isn’t your average family hauler—it’s got juice. The dual motors get you to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 5 seconds, while maintaining grip on sand, snow, or city asphalt. Its top speed clocks in at 210 km/h (130 mph). Whether you’re flooring it on the autobahn or hauling gear for a weekend out of town, the Smart #5 balances brute force with battery endurance.
Interior Tech and Smart Features
Inside is where Smart flexes hardest. You’re greeted by twin 13-inch OLED screens, a 10.3-inch digital cluster, and a 25.6-inch AR head-up display for top trims. There's even a lion avatar to assist (yes, a digital lion). Sennheiser’s 21-speaker system transforms the cabin into a mobile concert, while massage seats and ambient lighting add business-class comfort. A built-in projector and detachable Bluetooth speaker turn any parking spot into movie night.
Charging Speed and Battery Range
The 100 kWh battery isn’t just big—it’s smart. Thanks to the 800V SEA architecture, it zaps from 10% to 80% in 15-18 minutes via 400 kW DC fast charging. That’s faster than most rivals, letting road-trippers stretch 594 km (369 miles) per charge—real-world range should hover around 500-520 km (310-323 miles). And with a 72-liter frunk, 580-1,530 liters of boot space, and camping-friendly flat-folding seats, it’s equal parts road warrior and glamping HQ.
