Smart, which has always been committed to the concept of "urban car of the future", has now brought a smart genie #1 pure electric small SUV that conforms to the "new energy travel of the future". Led by Mercedes-Benz, Geely carried out vehicle engineering development based on the Vast SEA architecture. However, as a "return" of smart, from the debut of its concept car to the debut of the mass production car, it has attracted the attention of a vote of people, including people who have been paying attention to and loving smart models, but also people who simply pay attention to this car.
Xiaobian took a closer look at the Smart Conpect #1 concept car at the beginning of the year, and this debut appearance was also the first time to stay up late to pay attention. I have to say that the overall structure of this mass production version is not much different from the concept car, in addition to the "opposite door", hidden B-pillar and some interior decoration details, many other configurations have been retained.
However, you can clearly see that it uses a lot of Mercedes design style in the design, and the bezel-less doors, hidden electric outer door handles, Cyber light and shadow through LED matrix headlights, matrix taillights and very futuristic streamer particle grilles are futuristic and youthful. Especially the 64 colors 20-speed brightness adjustable ambience lights can be said to be the taste of Mercedes-Benz, the more! hair! strong! violent!
In addition to these, the details that everyone is more concerned about on the basic configuration, use the following charts to tell you, Xiaobian will not repeat them one by one.
This car not only caused a heated discussion among fans, but also attracted attention within our editorial department, after some discussion, Xiaobian to share with you several different partners from different angles, for this car views.
The design is quite high-end, but is its smart spirit still there?
| "In our minds, the image of smart is what for two and four look like. In 1994, Mercedes-Benz and SWATCH formed a joint venture, MCC Corporation ( yes, that watch brand company ) to develop an ultra-miniature compact car called 'SMATCHMOBILE'. To put it bluntly, smart is designed for urban cars, it is flexible to drive, parking is convenient and has a strong mobility tool attribute, generally buy it more is to buy a car at home when there is already a car to buy. Although, with the name of Mercedes-Benz, the style and design concept of the whole model have almost nothing to do with Mercedes-Benz, and for me, this is the spirit of smart. Today's Smart Genie #1 has become a small SUV, but its wheelbase can even reach the size of a compact SUV, and the design is more Mercedtless. I'm not saying it's bigger or more mercediful, I just wonder if it's going to lose its original smart spirit. As the first car for the Smart brand to return to the frontier, it will take some time for me to accept it. ” —— Editor A: Old-school auto people who love car culture |
The angle of the Xiaobian station is slightly different: Xiaobian does not like the previous smart design style too much, although it is small and cute and it is said that it has not lost space because of its small size, and there is also a reputation of "space master". But there are differences in aesthetics, I will feel that it is too much like a "toy", but "return" to the work, continuing to be small and at the same time more tense in design, aesthetically let me feel that I can just enlarge the texture and sense of technology that smart has always existed. Rather than blindly pursuing small and special, I think this design style is more suitable for highlighting the texture that smart brings in terms of technological design. Don't like it.
Trendy enough, but the name seems to have a problem spreading?
| "I don't have a problem with the design and history of the elves, but as a content author, I sometimes struggle with small details. For example, in terms of branding, the point I am worried about is that the full name is 'smart genie #1', and the name will not be too complicated or even a little difficult to retrieve. Especially in China, the hashtag of many platforms is #, if the name has a symbol may make people in the search and dissemination, do not know how to be good. ” —— Editor B: Cool young fashionista |
As a generation of Editors of the Internet, I have the same view: especially when I send wb and pyq, I have a headache for a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient... Because this little "#" will often be automatically recognized as a "topic". But I have to say that this "#" has an attractive special function, a bit of a slash youth feeling with its own label.
The value is not low, but will the price be dominant?
| "This production car version is only unveiled, and the pre-sale price has not been announced, but the price speculated on the Internet is about 20-25W." Wouldn't it be a bit expensive in the same class? After all, it is a brand new model, even with the blessing of Mercedes-Benz and Geely, but many consumers should also have some scruples in their choices, and they still have to consider the cost performance when buying a car. ” —— Editor C: Decent, pragmatic youth |
Xiaobian has a different view: as the first model of the return of the smart brand, the price pressure is not necessarily a powerful thing, to know that the material and design of this car is not low, the configuration is not lost in the same level, there is no need to deliberately pull down the price, sometimes the large price difference will make the brand power damage. And looking at the same level of models, compared to the level of Mercedes-Benz EQA, the price from 36W, if this car is really in this price range or more normal optional model, of course, from the perspective of consumers, more affordable prices and better quality, it is the best.
Looking like a new car-making force, it is attractive to girls, and I pay more attention to its professionalism in battery and performance.
| "I have considered the appearance you are talking about. Although a few sounds will feel that it is not smart enough, but in terms of model design alone, I like it, and it can also capture the aesthetics of most people, while not losing aerodynamics. However, it is difficult for me not to think about the details of its battery and handling data, after all, the real feeling of a car is the most important thing. And as far as I know, it is from the vast platform of Geely, and I don't know if it will draw advantages to inherit in technical tuning. ” —— Editor D: Professional female driver whose appearance and data should coexist |
For this problem, Xiaobian also has the same view: according to official data, 66 kWh ternary lithium battery, the maximum pure electric mileage of up to 560 kilometers (CLTC China light vehicle driving conditions), in the DC overcharge mode (150kW charging pile), less than 30 minutes can be powered from 5% to 80%. Moreover, in the previous wind tunnel test, the drag coefficient of Cd0.29 was achieved. However, the specific driving experience and the degree of battery use still need to be test-driven before there is an answer.
epilogue:
Xiaobian has something to say: As a small editor who pays attention to the texture and design style of the car, the detailed design is what I pay most attention to. When I was looking at its concept car, the few details that attracted me the most were basically preserved, which surprised me.
For example, the floating roof of the "Ring of Inspiration" and the base sound of 13 speakers, the intelligent human-computer interaction system in the 12.8-inch central control screen, although human-computer interaction has become an indispensable part of the car now, but sometimes it is necessary to spell a little detail, such as smart genie #1 uses the visual design effect of "smart inspiration planet", and the image of voice interaction is designed as a small fox, Every time I see the planet and the little fox on the central control screen (this image you can also change and dress up), these remind me of "Le Petit Prince", I think that for those who like this work, they will have an inexplicable good feeling for this car, and with the overall design of the futuristic sense and the environmental protection of the material, using a planetary way to define the car, literary and cute.
Then there's the smartidea peripheral products that follow, and the silver and lemon green colors blend a precipitated texture with the agility of youth. Using avant-garde language to integrate the inspiration of young people, many new energy brands have also done a good job in this regard, and smart will be one of them in the future.

So what do you think about this car and the brand? What are the details you're most concerned about?
