Nowadays, more and more cars look like smarts, and smarts are becoming less and less smart. The new smart genie #1 has been officially released (pre-price: 190,000 to 230,000 yuan), which realizes that you will never see the Mercedes-Benz brand old man who has provided inspiration for countless clumsy imitators.

In China, since mercedes-benz and Geely, the natives, have become more and more aware of what is the correct model of socialism, so the reborn smart genie #1 decided to start "seriously" earning money as a pure electric. The reason why it is "serious" to make money, because in my opinion, the smart of the Swatch era will hardly appear in the first car purchase plan of any ordinary Chinese family, after all, spending more than 100,000 to buy a three-meter-five large toy violates the chinese nation's five-thousand-year-old consumption concept. Let's put it this way, the smart of the Swatch era is a gift from a dry father to his daughter, and the father will not do this.

The most valuable asset it left behind is to let everyone know that smart is called smart, and also let everyone know that the person driving this car should not be an ordinary person.
Therefore, today it is still called smart, and it can still sell for 200,000.

You will see that the latest smart genie #1 has been upgraded from a "micro-type car" to a "compact SUV", the three dimensions have been increased to 4270 * 1822 * 1636mm, and the wheelbase has come to 2750mm, which has caught up with the long axis version of the BMW X1, which is longer than the standard axis GLA and Q3. This means that you no longer have to worry about being posted by the neighborhood committee aunt "old age scooter" notice.

Of course, the most intuitive benefit of the long axle is that it is smoother to drive. Those who have driven the old smart know that the waist is not good to open.

You will also see that it abandons the original small displacement three-cylinder engine, replaced by 197kW and 343Nm electric motors, and accelerates 100 kilometers to 6.7 seconds, which is invincible in the entry-level compact pure electric SUV. The above new electric system means more agile power response and smoother power output.

#再见smart, Hello smart #
In 2021, smart's global sales will be 38,500 units, which is less than the sales of domestic popular models in one month. Before Geely and Daimler joined forces, Smart was already in a situation of continuous losses. In other words, smart, which was born in Europe and mainly attacked the European market, is no longer favored.
Europeans do like cars, but whether they like to carry only two people, so the pocket smart market has given the answer, the most popular national model in Europe is a car like polo, golf, carnival, or a small SUV based on this architecture, and smart genie #1 is the main market.
Born in 1994 in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz and watch brand Swatch, Smart was also extremely groundbreaking at the time, even at risk. Anyway, although the previous smart is not easy to open, it is extremely characteristic of the existence, and its innovation is worthy of respect.

Smart in the traditional sense has come to an end, and what we are about to usher in is a new era of smart.
In the decline in sales and the wave of electrification, Smart chose the most normal and correct change - to make itself a small SUV, and all of this change has made Smart Genie #1 eligible to appear on your first car to be on the to-choose list.
