Smart might have left the US market in 2019, but it didn’t disappear from other parts of the world. Smart is charting a new path, and it has a new all-electronic crossover that previews what’s to come from the automaker. The new Smart #1 is a significant departure from what the company offered before, as its latest model is designed to appeal to the masses with slick looks, a lot of technology, and that all-electric powertrain.
The new model in Smart’s lineup debuts today, with Smart filling in more details about the model and revealing its production look. It’s quite similar to the design of the Smart Concept #1 released last year. Those similarities extend to the interior, where Smart makes a big ado about tech, like its 3D user interface that’s based on AI and controllable through voice commands. Smart gives occupants a 12.8-inch infotainment screen to play with while drivers stare at a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
