Confidence in Range, Advanced Battery, and e-Drive Technology
The smart #3 Pro+ excelled in its Green NCAP evaluation, notably achieving the maximum score of 10 in the Clean Air Index5. From the laboratory to real-world roads, the smart #3’s air pollutant emissions, under a variety of different conditions, are significantly lower than testing standards, emitting "zero pollution" to the external atmosphere.
In the Green NCAP energy efficiency tests, the smart #3 Pro+ handled temperature changes, performing very reliable in cold test environments. Its range and energy efficiency metrics scored among the top in its class, providing customers with stable driving comfort. At the same time, by adopting an active grille shutter, aerodynamically designed exterior rearview mirrors, low-drag wheel hubs and hidden door handles, the smart #3 effectively reduces the vehicle’s drag coefficient to 0.27cw.
The smart #3 Pro+ is equipped with a 66 kWh ternary lithium nickel cobalt manganese battery (NCM) battery that offers a pure electric range of up to 435 kilometers (WLTP). It can be charged from 10% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes and features an adjustable energy regeneration system to address range anxiety, an added safeguard for every journey.
Moving Forward to a More Sustainable Tomorrow
Since its launch in 2023, the smart #3 has already earned a Euro NCAP five-star safety rating with the highest score for Safety Assist of all models tested in 2023.6
The smart #3 is available to order in various European markets, such as Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium. Further European markets will follow in 2024. More info on smart.com.
