smart Partners with Sennheiser to Elevate In-Car Audio Experience

August 23, 2024, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany. smart, the all-electric premium brand, has initiated a strategic partnership with Sennheiser, the renowned German audio solutions company. Both partners will combine their expertise to enhance the future of in-car audio entertainment, blending smart's commitment to offering mindful technology with Sennheiser's experience in providing leading audio innovations. Certain lines of the all-new smart #5, which is set to celebrate its world premiere in Brisbane, Australia, on August 28, will be equipped with sound systems produced under the new collaboration.

As two forward-thinking global brands with a shared European heritage, smart and Sennheiser join forces with the philosophy of creating an enjoyable experience on the road using state-of-the-art technology and premium sound quality. Sennheiser has been the first choice of many top artists, sound engineers, and music lovers around the world for over 80 years. Driving the all-new smart #5 will become a real premium experience, even off paved roads, for the driver and the senses. 

The audio experts at Sennheiser Mobility are bringing a premium immersive experience to the all-new smart #5. Central to the audio experience is the Sennheiser Signature Sound System with 20 speakers, featuring superior patented audio algorithms of Sennheiser Concerto with AMBEO technology and Sennheiser Contrabass. The Sennheiser signature sound philosophy is to preserve the intent of the artist and present it with authenticity. As the highlight of the setup, a raising speaker – with ambient lighting which synchronizes with the rhythm of the music – creates an immersive audio-visual experience. With a maximum output of 2,000 Watts, the system also supports a Dolby Atmos speaker setup. This enables real life sound to be experienced at a whole new scale. 

The partnership will come into effect across all global markets, including China and Europe. 

As a multi-purpose SUV in the mid-size segment, the all-new smart #5 is scheduled to celebrate its world premiere in Brisbane, Australia, on August 28. On the same day, the smart #1 and #3 will be officially launched in the Australian market.
