Recently, Smart officially released the interior teaser pictures of the Smart Elf #5 concept car that will be launched at the Beijing Auto Show, and the pictures this time are basically the same as the previously exposed spy photos, and also confirm the overall interior design.
It can be seen from the figure that some obvious conceptual elements have been removed, and the core of the interior of the real car is three large-size LCD screens, among them, the LCD instrument panel is deeply embedded in the center console, and the central control center and the passenger side have a through-type double large screen design similar to the ideal L7, and after all, it is a Smart model, which is covered and wrapped with a more refined arc-shaped panel. The centre console also has a nested oval layout with a continuous air conditioning vent, which is complemented by champagne gold detailing in the shape of a special cross for the air conditioning vents.
Seat adjustment buttons have been added to the door panels, and the doors have been opened in a unique way. Also covered with oval elements, the design of what appears to be a paddle shift can be seen in the front area of the armrest box, but it may also be an element such as a driving mode selection button, after all, the pocket gear mechanism has become a popular fashion nowadays, and it is unlikely to be reversed. Elements such as the wireless charging pad for dual phones are certainly not absent, providing a strong enough practicality. According to the previous teaser images, the car also has unique elements in terms of seat design, and the overall design is still a design-oriented brand style.
In terms of looking back on the appearance, the new car will also adopt a new design concept, on the basis of retaining the relatively square and slightly rounded lines of the Smart Elf #1, it adopts a new large-scale action shape, and the through-type taillights are also more special, the overall size is significantly increased, the stout D-pillar is more vertical, and has a special car logo inlay, large-size wheels, frameless doors, hidden door handles and other elements will not be absent, and more attention is paid to space practicality.
In terms of power, since it is a 2024 product, the new car is expected to be equipped with an 800-volt high-voltage electrification architecture, with a rear single motor entry, and a front and rear dual motors to form an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, and take a step forward in intelligent driving. More information will be officially announced at the auto show, which is worth looking forward to.
