Byron Bay, Australia – In a landmark event, smart unveiled its first-ever premium mid-size SUV, the smart #5, during a world premiere in Byron Bay, Australia. This highly anticipated vehicle, debuting in Summit Edition and Premium+ models, marks a significant milestone for the all-electric automotive brand as it expands its portfolio into the competitive mid-size SUV segment.
Designed with adventure in mind, the smart #5 boasts a range of outdoor-oriented features, making it the brand’s most versatile vehicle to date. Its rugged exterior is equipped with a roof light bar, an electric trailer hitch, and a comprehensive Adventurers’ Collection package. This package includes underbody protection, a roof carrier, side steps, a side bag, and a side ladder, ensuring the smart #5 is well-prepared for off-road excursions.
Inside, the smart #5 combines cutting-edge technology with luxurious comfort. The SUV is powered by the advanced AMD V2000 high-computing-power chip, delivering a seamless and responsive user experience. The interior features a spacious design with zero-gravity seats, ambient lighting, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system, including a built-in projector and a Sennheiser Signature Sound System.
The vehicle’s 800-volt platform enables rapid charging, with the ability to reach 70% battery capacity in just 15 minutes. Additionally, the smart #5 offers impressive range capabilities, with over 740 km achievable on a single charge, making it a powerful contender in the electric SUV market.
smart has also announced strategic partnerships with premium outdoor and audio brands, including Trek and Heimplanet, to further enhance the vehicle’s appeal. These collaborations have led to the creation of bespoke products, such as a custom road bike and a specially designed tent, both inspired by the smart #5.
As smart enters the premium mid-size SUV segment, the all-new smart #5 is set to redefine what consumers expect from an electric vehicle, blending high-performance, luxury, and adventure into one compelling package. The smart #5 is slated for release in Europe early next year, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the brand in the global automotive landscape.
