After being presented in the form of a concept car at the last edition of the Beijing Auto Show, the new Smart #5 takes a further step towards its official debut through the release of the first images of its series version. “Merit” of Chinese Ministry of Technology, which thus not only showed the final design of the largest and most powerful model from Smart but also confirmed its main technical specifications.
The new Smart #5
As mentioned, it will be the most powerful Smart in the range: the complete offer has not been detailed, but we know that the most high-performance variant of the model, equipped with two electric motors, will deliver up to 640 HP of total power. How does this translate in terms of performance? There is talk of a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h that can be achieved in 3 seconds flat, even if no official confirmations have been received in this sense. The lineup should also count on another dual electric motor version but in this case less powerful, around 580 HP, and up two single electric motor variants, 335 and 358 HP respectively.
The most powerful…
The options will also be different drums: Single electric motor versions of the Smart #5 will rely on lithium-ion phosphate batteries, while dual electric motor models will feature lithium-ion batteries. In terms of capacity, the Mercedes Group brand has indeed yet to confirm the definitive specifications of the battery, but has already confirmed that it will be available with more than 100 kWh in the Long Range version, and that it will be equipped with an 800 volt charging architecture for recharge from 10 to 80% in 15 minutes.
…it’s the biggest
As mentioned, it will not only be the most powerful Smart but also the largest: speaking of dimensions we are faced with a model measuring 4,705 mm in length, 1,920 in width and 1,705 in height. The square proportions of the reference concept should be confirmed, but if we talk about interiors, a minimalist interior layout with a high digital content is expected. The official debut of the new Smart #5 will sweep away any doubts on the matter.
