Smart #1: battery, versions and trims
Smart #1 (Smart Hashtag 1) — the 2022 compact electric SUV developed by Mercedes-Benz and Geely. We look at the versions, batteries, power, trims and what to check when buying a used Smart #1.
Smart #1 in brief
The Smart #1 is significantly larger than previous Smart cars: it has five seats, a practical boot and compact SUV proportions. The interior is modern and digital, with a central screen controlling most functions.
The model is new, so there aren't many used options available. Most cars are just a few years old, so the remaining warranty and battery warranty are crucial.
Which version to choose
The Smart #1 is offered in several versions: the base model with rear-wheel drive and the more powerful twin-motor Brabus with all-wheel drive. They differ in power, battery and equipment.
For daily city driving and trips, the base version is sufficient, while the Brabus is worth choosing for its dynamics and sporty character.
Engines and transmissions
The Smart #1 is an electric car with a single-speed transmission. The base version has around 272 hp, while the Brabus has around 428 hp and all-wheel drive.
Battery capacity is around 62–66 kWh in the base version or around 66 kWh in the Brabus, with a WLTP range of around 400–440 km. Check the exact values in the specific car's documents.
What to check when buying a used Smart #1
Check the software version and ensure all manufacturer updates have been applied. Test the screen, voice control, and driver assistance systems.
Request battery health data and test the charging — both slow and fast. Ensure all cables are present.
Inspect the body and wheels, as some models are used in the city and may have minor damage.
