Thanks to the vigorous development and implementation of new energy vehicles in China, many independent brands have taken the lead in realizing electrification transformation and leading many multinational car companies, so more and more multinational models have sought cooperation with Chinese brands, such as Geely and luxury brand Mercedes-Benz to form Smart Motor Automobile.
Recently, based on the first model created by the joint venture company, smart genie #1, has once again ushered in new news, the new car has passed a series of harsh aerodynamic and winter extreme cold tests, and some official spy photos have been exposed, which means that the new car has entered the countdown to the market.
Although from the official map, the new car is still wrapped in heavy spy photos, it can still be clearly seen that the overall design of the new car is very high from the concept model previously unveiled.
However, the car as a smart brand model, but does not seem to continue to the existing model of the elements, basically using a new design concept to create, front and rear are presented with slender through-line lights, showing a relatively simple style, in line with the pursuit of electric vehicles, which also makes the new car wind resistance coefficient at 0.29.
It is understood that smart genie #1 is based on the Geely Haohan SEA architecture to build, the design work is undertaken by Mercedes-Benz, and the production and research and development is responsible for Geely, and will be manufactured in the future at the Geely Xi'an production base. And there is news that the new car will be officially listed in China this year and will be sold to the global market.
In terms of size, the concept car has a length, width and height of 4290/1910/1698mm, and a wheelbase of 2750mm, and it is expected that the mass production version of the model should not change much, positioning itself as a pure electric small SUV.
From the perspective of the interior of the new car, the new car does have a clear Mercedes-Benz style, and does not continue the design of the current fuel version of the smart model, so the overall texture is expected to be improved, and this is also a restoration of the design of the concept car.
The middle adopts a huge size of the central control screen, equipped with a small size dashboard + HUD head-up display combination, it looks like the interior is very simple, but the technology configuration is still relatively rich, in line with brand positioning.
As for the power, there is still no specific official information, but from the latest exposure of the car to try to see, the new car has been in the extremely low temperature of Inner Mongolia Yakeshi winter test, and with the new battery temperature control system, showing relatively excellent cold resistance.
After all, one of the most affecting problems of electric vehicles at present is whether the tram can maintain a relatively stable endurance performance in extremely cold areas.
As the localization of a luxury small pure electric vehicle, it is believed that the new car will bring a certain market impact to many competitors, but it also has to be in the pricing of comparative advantages.

Although in the face of the emergence of many new energy models in China, the performance of Mercedes-Benz Smart may not be able to achieve optimal performance, but at least it can make more potential consumers who pursue high-end attributes and high-end quality willing to pay for it, after all, Mercedes-Benz can maintain relatively good standards in terms of quality feelings.
However, when BMW MINI also realizes cooperation with Great Wall Motors and creates a pure electric version of MINI, from the positioning point of view, the two cars may be wiped out after the listing of no small spark.
