World Premiere on April 7th! Geely Mercedes-Benz smart genie #1 is coming, 150,000 will become a hit?

Speaking of Mercedes-Benz's smart brand, the biggest impression that has always left on the Chinese people is small, stylish and personalized. Although the cars produced by Smart have been discontinued today, we can't buy the Smart Fortwo model that costs 133,800-159,800.

However, after smart has carried out a pure electrification transformation, the brand is finally about to officially release the new smart genie #1 model in Berlin on April 7 (the early morning of April 8, Beijing time). As a pure electric small SUV, the new car is also the first mass-produced SUV model created by the Smart brand since its birth.

It is worth mentioning that the new car is based on the Geely SEA vast architecture, so this model is also the first product jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz design and Geely Vehicle Engineering. With the addition of Geely, this new smart genie #1 model will inevitably be labeled as a "domestic car".

But in fact, this smart genie #1 model based on the Geely SEA vast architecture is all tested and developed by the foreign smart team, so in this way, in fact, everyone does not have to worry that the smart genie #1 is a "shell".

In terms of appearance, smart genie #1 basically continues the design of the previous concept car, and the front face is a through-type LED light group, with a trapezoidal grille, the overall is also revealing a bit of cute and exquisite.

On the side of the body, the unique roof shape is somewhat similar to the BMW MINI Coupe model, which is generally impressive. In addition, the smart LOGO on the D-pillar also looks very eye-catching, in line with the positioning of its personalized small SUV. Below the LOGO is the charging interface, and the size of the opening is basically the same as that of ordinary fuel models. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4290, 1910 and 1698mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.

The rear of the car also uses a penetrating taillight group, which looks very recognizable and echoes the LED lights on the front face. In addition, judging from the camouflaged vehicles in the picture, the new car should take the sports style route, and it is expected that the front and rear will be equipped with sports style surrounds to enhance the visual perception of the whole vehicle.

In terms of interior, the new car looks very luxurious overall. Not only is it equipped with a large LCD central control screen, the design of the air conditioner outlet is also a paper clip style commonly used in the Mercedes-Benz family. In addition, the air outlet is also equipped with mood lights, which can change the color of the atmosphere lights according to the size of the air volume, so the overall sense of high-grade can also be described as full.

In addition, the smart genie #1 shift will continue to use the Inherent Pocket Gear style of the Mercedes-Benz family, and the advantage of this design is to save the storage space in the middle of the center console, which is convenient for the owner to place mobile phones, water, cigarettes, wallets and other miscellaneous items when driving daily.

Finally, this smart genie #1 will also be equipped with a high-performance, highly integrated computing power architecture that can centrally control four core modules such as infotainment systems, driver assistance systems, electronic drive electronic control systems, and electronic/electrical systems. Similarly, new cars can also be upgraded with OTAs, with more than 75% of the ECU electronic control units of the vehicle being continuously upgraded remotely.

In addition, the car's ADAS intelligent driver assistance system can also support intelligent parking assistance, adaptive cruise, pilot assistance, lane keeping, emergency avoidance and other functions, so that this smart genie #1 should be a small SUV with a high degree of intelligence. As for the car's three-electric system and mileage, the official has not yet been announced, so you may wish to wait for the global debut of this car tomorrow.

Finally, I would also like to ask you, Geely Mercedes-Benz Smart Genie #1 as the first boutique car of the Chinese people, do you think it will become a hit if it is priced at about 150,000? Referring to the previous smart fortwo's price of 133,800-159,800 on the 2019 model, if this smart genie #1 really comes at a price of 150,000, will it successfully seize the market share of pure electric cars of domestic brands such as Euler Good Cat? Leave a message in the comment area to talk about it, let's exchange and discuss it together. (Text/Univision Auto Dazhuo)
