Fancy a Smart EV? Get one or rather #3 from RM175,000
The long-awaited Smart #3 has finally been launched in Malaysia, and it’s ready to make a bold statement in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Developed by Smart Malaysia, this premium all-electric car offers a blend of performance, style, and sustainability. Let’s explore the details.
Three Variants, One Vision
The Smart #3 crops up in three variants, each catering to different preferences and needs:
- Smart #3 Pro (RM175,000): The base model with essential features.
- Smart #3 Premium (RM215,000): A step up with additional luxury and convenience.
- Smart #3 Brabus (RM255,000): The sporty variant with performance enhancements.
Design and Dimensions
The Smart #3 shares its Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform with the Smart #1. However, it stands out with its aerodynamic design, measuring 4,370 mm long, 1,844 mm wide, and 1,556 mm tall, supported by a 2,788 mm wheelbase. The Brabus variant gets a sportier exterior thanks to the Brabus aero kit.
Color Options
The Smart #3 Pro offers six color combinations, including Digital White, Ceramic Cream, Future Green, Electron Blue (Matte), Cyber Silver, and Quantum Blue. However, the base Pro model comes in Digital White and Meta Black only. The Smart #3 Brabus offers five color combinations, such as Photon Orange, Meta Black (with Radiant Red roof), Atom Grey (Matte), Atom Grey (with Radiant Red roof), and Digital White (with Eclipse Black roof).
Performance and Efficiency
All Smart #3 variants share the same power output as their #1 counterparts. However, the Smart #3 benefits from a lower drag coefficient (0.27 vs. #1’s 0.29), resulting in improved acceleration and efficiency. Here’s a breakdown:
- Smart #3 Pro and Premium: Single motor setup, 272 hp (metric), 343 Nm torque, rear-wheel drive, and three drive modes (Eco, Comfort, and Sport).
- Smart #3 Brabus: Dual-motor setup, 428 hp (metric), 543 Nm torque, all-wheel drive, and exhilarating performance.
The Smart #3 combines innovation, sustainability, and driving pleasure, making it a compelling choice for those embracing the EV revolution. Is it smart enough to own one? #SharewithMin on X or comment down below
