Since smart's first pure electric SUV has been warmed up for a long time, the model has finally ushered in the release of the model in recent days.
In the early morning of April 8, the new smart genie #1 made its world debut in Berlin, Germany, and is expected to be produced and launched in China within 2022.
It is reported that the new car is positioned as a pure electric small SUV, based on the Geely Haohan SEA architecture, the design is dominated by Mercedes-Benz, and Geely is responsible for the development of the vehicle project, which means that the new car will be a model produced in China and sold overseas.
According to the official introduction, the future smart brand will follow the "#" and digital to form a new car naming system, so from the new car shape can also be seen that genie #1 did not continue the design of smart's previous models, but adopted a new design concept.
Specifically, the new car adopts the design concept of "sensibility and sharpness" in a simple design style, which makes the contour of the whole vehicle soft and round, but also because the new car is a pure electric model, it incorporates many elements used in electric vehicles, such as hidden door handles and through-type light strip design.
In terms of size, the new car is expected to reach 4270/1822/1636 mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm, and the overall size is close to that of a MINI COUNTRYMAN, but it is much larger than the previous Smart models.
In terms of interior, the new car still continues the simple design, with a large size central control screen with a 9.2-inch slender LCD instrument on the main driving seat, and the design of physical buttons has been cancelled as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a HUD head-up display system, which greatly enhances the sense of technology in the car.
In terms of power, the smart genie #1 is equipped with a rear-drive motor with a maximum power of 272 horsepower, a peak torque of 343 Nm, and a maximum speed of 180 km/h.
In terms of battery life, the new car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 66 kWh, and the mileage of WLTP is between 420-440km. 10%-80% of the power can be completed under 3.5 hours of slow charging, and the use of 150 kW DC fast charging can be reduced to 30 minutes.
Judging from the current positioning of the new smart genie #1, it will undoubtedly be a trend-leading fashion high-end pure electric transportation model, so the new car competitors will also include the mini of beam cars and more small pure electric models of the same level.

Since entering the era of pure electricity, it is believed that many pure electric models have emerged, especially from the performance of the small pure electric market, it can be clearly seen that the demand is rising, which also means that pure electric transportation models are in the current market boom.
Therefore, at this time, Mercedes-Benz based on the Geely Vast platform to create a relatively close to the people's high-end model, presumably will also be favored by some consumers, but when BMW MINI has also achieved cooperation with Great Wall Motors to create a pure electric version of MINI, I believe that the two cars will be a lot of sparks after the listing.
