What does the future of electric mobility look like? According to smart, it’s all about bringing people together, connecting cultures and ideas, and enabling meaningful shared experiences. That’s the philosophy behind the all-new smart #1, the new all-electric compact SUV that marks a fundamental milestone in the renewal process of the smart brand.
A new design approach and the adoption of the latest tech innovations influenced the look and feel of smart #1. The car’s design perfectly embodies the evolution of the smart brand itself, inviting the user to an entirely personal connection with the vehicle. As a result, smart #1 is not just a car anymore but rather a close companion for the contemporary urbanite.
“The all-new smart #1 stands for the re-start of the smart brand and showcases our new design DNA of Sensual Product”, says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Mercedes-Benz Group AG. “It is grown up, cool and embodies beauty with smart solutions. Therefore, it is new, fresh, and enchanting. Our new smart #1 has the potential to make smart a leading design brand.”
The exterior of smart #1 is futuristic and advanced, and features like the floating halo roof, the frameless doors, and the concealed motorized door handles are additional touches that users wouldn’t expect in a vehicle in this category. With smart #1, there is always a fresh nuance to investigate from every angle. Details such as the CyberSparks LED+ front lights or the Y-shaped LED rear lights, for example, contribute to the car’s futuristic look.
Moreover, with its 4,270mm length and 2,750mm wheelbase, the all-new smart #1 pushes the footprint-to-space ratio to the maximum, enabling comfortable interiors with an improved 360° view. When it comes to car space, what really matters is how you use it. Smart #1 designers could take full advantage of the car’s space with features like the slidable rear bench, which maximizes the trunk volume up to 411 liters. On top of that, the car’s interiors have been painstakingly designed to achieve the maximum possible room efficiency.
When sitting inside a smart #1, users will always feel at the center of the action, thanks to the customizable infotainment user interface that embraces purposeful and human-centric technology. The system seamlessly integrates with the interiors and the exterior design, becoming a part of the overall user experience of smart #1. In addition, to meet users’ needs in terms of ever-changing mobility, the all-new smart #1 and all connected products and services form one coherent, intuitive, and adapting ecosystem. That’s why the car’s advanced technologies are not just a mere selling point but rather true enablers that let users experience the future of mobility – today.
