REVEALED: Say hello to the all-new, fully-electric Smart 1 SUV – what do you think? ⚡️273-mile range ⚡️Tech-filled interior ⚡️£32,000 (est) Here's everything you need to know
A cheaper version of the #1 with a smaller battery is rumoured to be on the way, and because the underpinnings are scalable, a whole line-up of new electric Smarts could be in the pipeline. The firm hasn’t ruled out a faster, dual-motor performance variant.
Below the screen sits a bank of touch-sensitive shortcut buttons. They could potentially be tricky to use while driving because they don’t give haptic feedback, although there is an audible click when you press them. The driver gets a 9.2in digital instrument display, which is clearly laid out and features crisp graphics. Plus, the most important information is projected on to the windscreen using a 10.0in head-up display.
In-car storage is impressive, with two cupholders in the front, large bins on each door, and a vast centre console cubby between the driver and front passenger. There are also six sockets to charge your devices, including 12v, USB and USB-C charging in the front, and USB and USB-C in the rear. If you want more luggage space but still need to carry rear passengers, the rear seats can slide forwards on rails. This feature is likely to come in handy because the boot is on the small side, offering just 273 litres of space when the rear seats are slid fully back. For comparison, the e-2008 provides 434 litres and the Countryman 450 litres.
As far as safety goes, the #1 will be available with seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, automatic parking and high-beam assist. UK trim levels and standard equipment are still yet to be confirmed.
