MIIT Filing Confirms Production Form and Specs of Smart #2

MIIT certification shows the two-seat rear‑drive microcar is production-ready, positioning Smart to build it in China for sale in China and Europe.

Overview

  • Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology paperwork published images and technical data that confirm the production design of the Smart #2 as a two-door, two-seat city car.
  • The filing lists precise dimensions (about 2,751–2,764 mm long with a 1,875 mm wheelbase), a single 60 kW rear-mounted motor supplied by Xingqu, and a lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry.
  • Smart has set performance targets for the model of roughly 300 km range, 10%–80% charging in under 20 minutes, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability that lets the battery power external devices.
  • The project follows the Mercedes‑design, Geely‑engineering arrangement and runs on Geely’s bespoke Electric Compact Architecture with key parts sourced inside Geely’s ecosystem, including CATL LFP cells.
  • Smart will produce the #2 in China and aim sales at China and Europe with a global debut scheduled for the Paris Motor Show in October, and current reporting indicates no U.S. launch at initial release.
