A few days ago, did you draw the purchase qualification of Swatch and Omega joint watches? I believe that many people have not smoked like me, and it doesn't matter! Swatch also has cars, this can be!
Seeing this, you may be a little confused in front of the screen, Swatch also produces cars? In fact, the famous smart brand was first established by SMH (Swatch's parent company) and Daimler-Benz, and its name "smart" is the acronym of the initial "Swatch Mercedes ART". In 2020, Mercedes-Benz and Geely Holding Group established a global joint venture of the smart brand to bring the brand back to life, and the smart genie #1 we are going to talk about today is the first model launched after the establishment of the new joint venture.
Smart Genie #1 | Handsome
A few hours ago, Smart officially released Smart Genie #1, positioning a pure electric small SUV, which is based on the Geely Vast SEA architecture. Yes, the kryptonian 001 you know also derives from this architecture. At the same time, future smart models will also adopt the naming method of "#" + number.
Smart Genie #1 almost completely subverts the design style of the former fortwo, forfour and other models. Genie #1 and ID.3 are similar in size, but they are two completely different styles. Today's smart genie #1 looks more like an "electric frog," which is longer, wider, and more ostentatious.
Smart Genie #1 | Practical
Under the exaggerated appearance, smart genie #1 actually hides a "doer" heart, and what really makes us care is always configuration, power, etc., and in these aspects, smart genie #1 has surprised us enough.
Entering the era of electrification, power has become cheaper? This view seems to have become very common, but one thing that needs to be said is that the power is stronger and the endurance performance shrinks more obviously. In an electric trolley, it may seem unrealistic to balance power and endurance at the same time, but smart genie #1 does. The 200kW maximum power of smart genie #1 even exceeds EQA, close to EQB's 215kW level, and the endurance performance smart genie #1 is also higher than both, which does see smart full sincerity. At the same time, smart genie #1 can also experience 150kW fast charging, which is really exciting.
Editor's Note: Smart Genie #1's competitors will be the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense and the future mini version of the all-electric version. If the pricing is reasonable, maybe smart genie #1 will also overlap with models such as ID.3. In terms of hard power alone, smart genie #1 shows far more power, endurance performance and replenishment speed than its peers, which is its biggest selling point compared to design. Of course, referring to the prices of competitors and past smart models, this smart genie #1 may not be cheap.
