Smart 1 Colours

The Smart #1 is available in a variety of solid metallic colours, but the Brabus version is perhaps the most eye-catching, blending silver body work with a red roof line, that looks a little like it's wearing a hat.

Smart 1 Accessories

The entry-level #1 cars score 19-inch alloys, a panoramic roof, LED lighting, a powered tailgate and a 12.8-inch central screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 9.2-inch digital dashboard. There’s wireless device charging and a decent stereo, too. The Premium then adds matrix headlights, leather trim, a huge head-up display and a better Beats stereo, while the Brabus scores a unique interior and exterior treatment, better suspension, and a launch control function.

Smart 1 Interior

Inside the #1 presents as a properly premium-feeling EV space that’s swimming with technology and lovely cabin materials. A letterbox-style screen replaces the traditional dashboard.

Smart 1 Boot Space

Pop the Smart #1's auto-opening boot (by hitting the ‘a’ in the ‘Smart’ lettering, which I couldn’t figure out without help) and you’ll find 323 litres of space with the back seat as far back as it goes, growing to 411 litres with it pushed all the way forward. There’s also a 15-litre frunk.

Smart 1 Seats

Smart says its five-seat #1 SUV has Mercedes-Benz E-Class levels of space in the back seat despite its diminutive footprint. It’s a big claim, and while I didn’t break out the tape measure myself, I can say the back seat felt plenty generous, and because the rear pew slides forwards or backwards by 15cm, you can choose whether you want more legroom, or more luggage space.

Smart 1 Speed

Single motor versions of the Smart #1 knock off the sprint to 100km/h in 6.7 seconds. The Brabus, though, adds a motor at the front axle, dropping the sprint to 100km/h to 3.9 seconds. Top speed for all models is listed as 180km/h.

Smart 1 Towing Capacity

The Smart 1 has maximum towing capacity of 1600kg for the latest model available.

Smart 1 Engine

There are two drivetrains on offer here - one shared across the Pro+ and Premium, and another delivering the prodigious power of the #1 Brabus. The first shared option is a single rear motor that delivers 200kW and 343Nm. The hero Brabus, though, adds a motor at the front axle, which ups the outputs to a punchy 315kW and 543Nm.
