Smart Revives Its Two-Seater With Concept #2 Electric City Car

The concept marks Smart's pivot back to compact city cars.

Overview

  • Smart unveiled the Concept #2 in Beijing on Wednesday, previewing a pure‑electric successor to the Fortwo aimed at dense urban use.
  • The study rides on a new Electric Compact Architecture platform and measures about 2.79–2.80 meters long with a tight 6.95‑meter turning circle.
  • Target figures include roughly 300 kilometers of range, DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, and Vehicle‑to‑Load to power external devices.
  • Smart plans to show the production model at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026, with sales expected in 2027, while battery size, certified range, power, and pricing remain unconfirmed.
  • European executives have floated a starting price in the low €20,000s, and at the same event Smart also showed the larger #6 EHD for China only, signaling distinct strategies by market.
