From Paris to Production: Meeting Customer Demand

Following its World Premiere at the Paris Motor Show on 12 October, the smart #2 has attracted strong customer interest in China and Europe, with the exclusive smart #2 Couture Edition now sold out in China and in all European markets where it has been offered to date.

Series production is now underway, following the first production smart #2 rolling off the assembly line.

Developed through close collaboration between smart's engineering teams in China and Europe, the smart #2 combines international expertise with intelligent manufacturing in China. The vehicle follows smart's unified global quality standards, supported by an extensive programme of testing and validation.

From winter testing in sub-zero temperatures to demanding summer conditions, the smart #2 has undergone rigorous evaluations of driving dynamics, durability, safety and everyday usability.

The Iconic Two-Seater Reinvented for a New Electric Era

Styled by the Mercedes-Benz Global Design Team, the all-electric smart #2 reinterprets the unmistakable character of smart's iconic two-seater, guided by the brand's overarching “Love, Pure, Unexpected” design philosophy.

At its heart is the newly developed Electric Compact Architecture (ECA) platform. Rather than adapting an architecture designed for a larger vehicle, ECA brings together intelligent use of space, advanced electric technology and effortless urban agility.

Safety remains fundamental to the smart #2. The new-generation Tridion Cell Evo body structure builds on smart's long-standing safety philosophy, providing a robust protective structure around the passenger cabin without compromising the vehicle's compact dimensions.

With a 6.95-metre curb-to-curb turning circle, rear-mounted electric motor, rear-wheel-drive layout and five-link rear suspension, a first in its class, the smart #2 is engineered for responsive handling and confident, composed driving in the city and on the highway.

The smart #2 features a 35.8 kWh battery, with a target combined WLTP range of 290 km¹.

China Launch Marks the Next Step in Global Market Introduction

China will be the first market to receive customer deliveries, with the first smart #2 vehicles expected to reach customers in the coming weeks.

In Europe, customer deliveries are planned for 2027, with market-specific pricing, specifications, equipment and availability communicated locally.
