Which smart model suits you best?

May 19, 2026

From its original city car roots, today smart offers a fully electric line‑up that blends premium design, advanced technology, and everyday usability. Compare smart models easily as customers now have three distinct options they can experience; the smart #1, smart #3, and smart #5, each designed to suit different lifestyles.

So, which smart car model is right for you?

smart #1: The perfect everyday EV

The smart #1 is the most versatile model in the lineup and a great introduction to electric driving. As a compact electric SUV, it combines easy manoeuvrability with impressive interior space, making it ideal for both city and country living.

It’s particularly well suited to commuters, young families, or anyone who needs one car that can handle daily errands, school runs, and weekend trips with ease. The elevated driving position offers excellent visibility, while the calm, refined cabin makes every journey comfortable.

If you’re new to electric vehicles or simply want a no compromise all‑rounder, the smart #1 strikes a near perfect balance.

smart #3: Style meets sportiness

For customers who want their car to say a little more about them, the smart #3 delivers a sleeker and a more coupe‑inspired design compared to the #1. The smart #3 brings a sportier stance and a more dynamic driving feel.

The smart #3 is ideal for drivers who value style just as much as practicality. It feels agile and engaging on the road, with smooth electric acceleration that makes every drive enjoyable. Despite its coupe looks, it still offers usable space for everyday life, making it an excellent choice for professionals or couples.

If you want an electric car that feels bold, modern, and exciting, the smart #3 is the one that stands out.

smart #5: Space for bigger adventures

The smart #5 is the largest and most capable model smart has ever produced. Built for customers who need extra space and flexibility, it’s perfect for families, frequent travellers, or anyone with an active lifestyle. With a strong road presence, generous cabin room, and advanced technology, the smart #5 is designed for longer journeys, weekends away, and varied driving conditions. It combines SUV practicality with premium electric performance, proving that electric cars can be just as adventurous as they are efficient. If your lifestyle demands room to grow without giving up comfort or innovation, the smart #5 delivers.

The upcoming smart #2

Arriving next year, the smart #2 is set to broaden the range even further, bringing smart’s electric vision back to its compact, city focused roots.

Expected to slot below the smart #1, the smart #2 is designed for drivers who prioritise urban mobility, easy parking, and efficient day‑to‑day travel, without sacrificing style or technology.

With bold design cues and fully electric performance, it promises to be an exciting option for city drivers and first time EV buyers who want a smaller footprint with unmistakable smart character.
