Overview
- Smart, which unveiled the Concept #2 on Wednesday in Beijing, plans a full production reveal at the Paris Motor Show in October.
- Preliminary targets include about 300 km of range, DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, and a vehicle-to-load feature for powering devices.
- The car rides on a new Electric Compact Architecture engineered by Geely with styling by Mercedes‑Benz under their 50:50 joint venture, and production will take place in China.
- The two-seater measures 2,792 mm in length and claims a 6.95 m turning circle, keeping it among Europe’s smallest city cars despite being slightly longer than past Fortwo models.
- The show car’s gold trim, display panels, and strap details are expected to be toned down for buyers, and coverage notes Europe and the UK as likely early markets, with any Malaysian launch via Proton’s Pro‑Net described as speculative.
