On Wednesday, at the smart Global Brand Night event held in Beijing, the China-Germany joint venture electric vehicle brand smart unveiled the new smart #2 concept car and the smart #6 EHD under the theme Change of Perspectives.
As the brand continues to expand its electric vehicle lineup and reposition itself in the premium EV space, smart is drawing renewed attention with its latest concepts. The newly revealed models also signal a return to the brand’s urban mobility roots while exploring new segments.
smart #2 Concept: a compact electric city car
The smart #2 concept car was designed by Mercedes-Benz’s design team and is built on the all-new ECA architecture. It pays homage to the brand’s roots while replicating the classic design of the first-generation smart fortwo. It features a matte white and gold color scheme, with clean, flowing body lines and gold chrome accents used as subtle detailing.
The car is about 2.79 meters long and retains smart’s signature wheel-at-each-corner layout, with short overhangs and a long wheelbase to maximize interior space. Its turning radius is 6.95 meters, which makes it highly maneuverable and well suited for city driving and parking.
