The entry #5 Pro features a 76-kWh pack and a panoramic roof, while the Pulse version adds all-wheel drive and a dual-motor setup. Taken together, the hardware looks tailored to quick top-ups and longer trips.The flagship Smart #5 BRABUS delivers 475 kW and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, offering performance on a sports-car level. At 4.7 meters long, it is the largest Smart to date — a clear upsizing that points to the brand’s new direction.The Mercedes-Benz and Geely joint venture positions the #5 as a premium yet attainable electric crossover. The newcomer is set to rival the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-tron and Skoda Enyaq, aiming to strengthen Smart’s standing in the fast-growing EV segment.
