The all-new, all-electric Smart #1 was tested by Euro NCAP, achieving some pretty encouraging safety ratings.
Let's recall that the Smart #1, unveiled in April, has nothing in common with other Smart models (fortwo and forfour), as it's a fruit of the new joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely Automobile. With Mercedes-Benz design and Geely's engineering and production (in China instead of in Europe), the brand is expected to become profitable and most likely much bigger in terms of sales volume.
