The Smart #3 (pronounced “hashtag three”) is a coupe version of the Smart #1, which itself is a fairly generic Chinese-manufactured compact SUV.
Neither car has much to do with the little Smart city cars you may remember, aside from the badge and the fact that the maker is still part-owned by Daimler AG, better known as Mercedes-Benz. The other parent of the new generation Smart models is Geely, a Chinese conglomerate that also owns Volvo, Polestar and Lotus.
