The Smart #3 Brabus isn’t just the fastest, most powerful model in the #3 range, it also makes the first time the German performance sub-brand has been in Australia in over a decade.
The other models in the #3 family are single-motor offerings. The Brabus, though, unlocks way morepower through the addition of a second motor, this time at the front axle, upping outputs to 315kW and 543Nm and delivering AWD. The sprint to 100km/h takes just 3.7secs.
It’s yours for $70,900, before on-road costs, and for that you can expect 19-inch alloys, a panoramic roof, LED lighting, a powered tailgate, a 12.8-inch central screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 9.2-inch digital dashboard and a head-up display.
There’s also matrix LED headlights, leather trim and a Beats stereo, with the Brabus also scoring a unique interior and exterior treatment, unique suspension and a launch control function.
It gets a 66kWh battery, delivering a WLTP driving range of 415km. And you can choose between home AC charging (either power point, wall box or three-phase), or 150kW DC fast charging, which should take around 30 minutes to go from empty to 80 per cent charged.
