Smart #3: electric crossover, battery and trim levels
Smart #3 — an electric coupe-style crossover created through a joint project by Mercedes-Benz and Geely. We look at the versions, battery, power, and what you need to know when buying a used #3.
Smart #3 in brief
Smart #3 — the second new-generation Smart model after the #1. It's a larger, coupe-style electric crossover designed for those who find the fortwo too small. It offers a spacious interior, modern technologies, and a sporty roofline.
The car looks nothing like previous Smart models: there's no more compact city car, but a full-fledged five-seater electric vehicle.
Which version to choose
The Smart #3 is available with several power and battery options. The main versions are suited for daily use, while the sporty Brabus features two motors and all-wheel drive.
As a newcomer in the used market, it's still relatively rare. Mostly, you'll find one or two-year-old models, so it's crucial to know the specific version's battery and power.
Battery, power, and charging
The most common version comes with around a 66 kWh battery and approximately a 272 HP rear-wheel drive motor. The Brabus version features two motors delivering around 428 HP and all-wheel drive.
The real-world range depends on the version, driving style, and weather. The car can be charged at home and with fast DC chargers, but charging power and speed vary by version.
What to check when buying a used Smart #3
Request a battery health report and check the software version. In electric vehicles, updates can change system operation.
Test the multimedia system, touchscreen, charging port, and all assistive features. Check for any error messages.
Verify the warranty and whether the car was serviced officially.
