In the process of transition to electrification, those once classic fuel vehicles have also had to make compromises, so in the past few years, we have seen the Mustang become an "electric horse" and the Volkswagen T1 become an electric ID. Buzz and so on, including today's protagonist smart, which has also become an electric car.
The car is named "smart genie #1", which is a cooperation between Geely and Mercedes-Benz, Geely is responsible for the development of the whole vehicle, and Mercedes-Benz is mainly responsible for the interior and exterior design of the car. The new car is built based on the Geely Haohan SEA pure electric architecture, positioning pure electric small SUV, 4270/1822/16369 (mm), wheelbase of 2750mm.
Smart Genie #1, which uses a new design language, somewhat subverts our inherent impression of smart, it is a good blend of modernity and rounded and cute style, it does not look big, and even has a sense of déjà vu of a hatchback.
The design of the two-color body makes it more playful, the black A-pillar is also marked with the "Trident Logo", which will more or less make the owner have a sense of superiority, the addition of frameless doors is a plus, and the common hidden door handles of electric vehicles also appear on this new car. The tail is also very simple, and the through-type tail lights and the front face of the daytime lights complement each other, and the overall look is very coordinated.
The central control as a whole presents a "T-shaped" layout, the 9.2-inch slender LCD instrument + 12.8-inch floating LCD screen has become the highlight of the interior design, and the classic Pendant design of Mercedes-Benz has also been inherited on this new car, and the blessing of the double-spelled interior + atmosphere lamp has further added points to the interior atmosphere.
Smart Genie #1 uses a rear motor, the maximum power of the motor is 272 horsepower, the peak torque is 343 Nm, 6.7 seconds can break the hundred, the ternary lithium battery capacity is 66kWh, and the WLTP working range is between 420-440km.
Smart Genie #1 will be officially launched on the 25th of this month, so what are its future prospects?
It is undeniable that the smart brand has a bunch of clusters in the domestic market, consumers' impression of smart is completely stuck on the smart fortwo model, less than 2.7 meters long + 2 seats layout makes it easy to navigate in the congested city roads, and there is no need to worry about the problem of parking difficulties, personality is flamboyant, and there is almost no alternative on the market.
In contrast, Smart Genie #1, for the sake of practical compromise, the regular size + more common 5-seat layout obviously makes it lose the essence of smart, it is not difficult to guess that this is easy to disappoint smart fans.
Although smart genie #1 is a small SUV, but it also looks like some miniature or small hatchback visual sense, now on the market similar to BYD Dolphin, Volkswagen ID.3 and other competitors are blooming, and even zero-run T03, MINI EV these micro electric vehicles can be equal to it, consumers not only have more choices, the price of smart genie #1 has undoubtedly become a disadvantage.
Speaking of price, this smart genie #1 obviously belongs to the "high-end electric product", the better news is that it is domestic, so the price may be relatively close to the people, about its price, speculation should be more similar to the volkswagen ID.3. In addition, the brand tone is still the advantage of smart genie #1, which may not be cost-effective, but it is very suitable for those who pursue a refined life.
