The Smart #1 Brabus marks a return to Australia for not just the Smart brand, but also for the lesser-known Mercedes-focused performance brand of Brabus.
Both were last in Australia attached to the city-friendly and petrol-powered ForTwo and ForFour more than a decade ago, and now they’re back, with the Brabus model acting as the flagship in #1 family.
A small, all-electric SUV, the #1 can also be had in Pro+ ($54,900) and Premium ($58,900) guises, but the Brabus ($67,900) delivers a unique look, a sportier drive experience and significantly more power, thanks to its twin-motor set-up.
While other models in the Smart #1 feature a single rear-mounted electric motor, the Brabus adds a motor at the front axle, giving it AWD, and which ups the outputs to a punchy 315kW and 543Nm, dropping the sprint to 100km/h to a very fast-feeling 3.9 seconds.
All Smart #1 models share the same 66kWh battery, but how far you can travel between charges comes down to the trim you choose, with the WLTP driving range either 400km, 420km or 440km. The Brabus, of course, covers the least ground between charges, owing to its dual-motor setup and prodigious power outputs.
