When it comes to smart models, the first thing that comes to mind is refinement, fashion and full of personality. However, the owners of the fuel version of the smart model may also regret the mechanical quality of the smart, and it is generally believed that the smart is not as small and flexible as it should be, but it is slightly clumsy.
In fact, smart has long begun the electrification transformation, recently jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and Geely, using the Geely Haohan platform to create a new generation of smart genie #1 pure electric small car will be launched in the world on April 7 (Berlin time), the new car positioning a new small pure electric SUV, 4-seat layout design.
From the appearance, we can see that smart genie #1 adopts a closed air intake grille, which is more in line with the tonality of pure electric new energy vehicles. The triangular headlights give people a sharp but soft feeling. The large mouth design at the bottom of the front face brings a cute feeling to the front face, which is more in line with the characteristics of the smart model.
The length, width and height of smart genie #1 are 4290*1910*1698mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. Compared with the fuel version of the model, the wheelbase has also increased by nearly 255mm, and it is believed that the driving space of the smart genie will be improved a lot. In addition, smart genie #1 in order to further reduce the wind resistance, the use of hidden door handle design, more technological sense.
In addition, the new smart genie #1 also uses a unique multi-width alloy wheel, which maintains a certain gap between the wheel hub and the wheel arch, so that the new car can better cope with complex road conditions and reduce a certain body wind resistance.
In the rear part of the car, the smart genie #1 adopts a forked taillight design similar to the headlights, and the through-line shape makes the overall line of the taillights look more slender. The rear window is also equipped with a wiper, which further strengthens its off-road atmosphere, and the traditional exhaust port is eliminated at the bottom, which more directly shows its new energy identity and is highly recognizable.
Judging from an interior drawing previously exposed, smart genie #1 has a high degree of interior restoration for the concept version of the model, taking a three-frame steering wheel and a 12.8-inch suspension central control large screen, and a built-in "smart universe" intelligent human-computer interaction system, which supports continuous voice interaction, facilitates the control of the interior personnel for functionality, and maximizes driving safety. In addition, the three-frame multi-function steering wheel and full LCD instrument also enhance the sense of technology and practicality in the car.
It is reported that the new smart genie #1 is equipped with multi-colored atmosphere lights, which can change the color of the atmosphere lamp with the size of the air conditioning air volume, so the overall sense of high-grade can also be described as full.
The new smart genie #1 is equipped with the ADAS intelligent driver assistance system, which can realize functions such as automatic parking, adaptive cruise, pilot assist, lane keeping and emergency avoidance, and has L2+ level automatic driving capabilities and OTC upgrade functions.
It is understood that the new car will be expected to be equipped with a rear motor, and a dual-motor four-wheel drive model will be launched in the future, but the specific battery capacity, motor power and mileage have not yet been released.
It is understood that the new car is Mercedes-Benz responsible for the design of the whole vehicle, Geely is responsible for the production of the whole vehicle, and the two brands in terms of technology are also blessed. It is worth mentioning that the first models of Smart Genie #1 are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022, and it is likely that the first deliveries will be made in December. If the price can be comparable to the fuel version of smart, maintained at about 150,000, it may become another choice for many young people to buy new energy pure electric vehicles.
