The smart #3 E SUV emerges as a thrilling revelation, fearlessly making its mark amidst intense competition in the dynamic realm of electric vehicles — a testament to the unwavering confidence of ‘smart,’ co-owned by automotive giants Mercedes and Chinese EV innovator, Geely.

As a wave of new EVs floods the market with increasing regularity and the imminent UK deadline signals the eventual obsolescence of internal combustion engines, the question arises: Is now the optimal time to dive into the world of Electric Vehicles?

Enter the Smart Hashtag 3

Amidst lingering concerns among motorists regarding EV ownership costs, range anxiety, charging infrastructure, and government mandates, the smart #3 SUV/Coupé steps into the spotlight, seemingly ticking every box.

Immaculate design and styling helps the #3 to set an EV standard that exceeds the average driver’s expectations.

The #3’s short bonnet helps the ultra-aerodynamic body quietly glide along while also allowing for more space where it matters, inside the vehicle.

Inside, the Hashtag 3 is deceptively spacious with plenty of headroom and legroom, just like previous smart vehicles except everything inside also looks premium.

It feels as if, unlike with previous smart vehicles, the Mercedes Benz design team got involved for the first time, and they did not hold back!

The result is a smart vehicle with an attractive mix of beautiful, well thought out, design, cutting edge technology and an upgrade in comfort. 

Owners can choose between standard or handmade leather seats for the supercar killing BRABUS Edition.

You can really see the excellence in design from the Mercedes Benz team throughout the car, inside actually feels like a Mercedes Benz quality car. 

The panoramic roof adds to the spacious feel inside the #3 despite the sloping roofline helping it retain a good balance of looks and practicality.

The #3’s 13 speaker audio system is tuned by Beats, connected to a 12.8 inch touchscreen that puts everything you need for a safe, comfortable and pleasant journey, at your fingertips.

Packed with cutting-edge technology, the smart #3 range not only addresses motorists current concerns but also ensures future relevance, promising years of seamless service without succumbing to obsolescence.

Styled by the Mercedes Benz design team and built on Geeley’s acclaimed SEA2 EV platform, the smart #3 comes in 3 editions plus a limited 25th Anniversary Edition that fuses a selection of features and styling borrowed from the Premium and Brabus Editions.

A future EV classic in the making?

The #3 Pro+ is the entry level edition but still very well specified, the Premium adds even more luxury with high end features, while the BRABUS Edition takes the #3 to another level in performance and style.

Once considered a novelty car maker, the arrival of the #1 and now the #3 marks smart’s evolution into a leading EV manufacturer, not least because of a head start in selling EV’s to a market it has been pioneering since 1997.

The smart Hashtag 3 is a unique proposition, inheriting its roots from the formidable Mercedes Benz and the EV trailblazer Geely.
