MUNICH: Premium electric automotive brand smart is developing an-all new, two-seater city car, the smart #2.
The smart #2 will be produced in China and is currently in the final design and development phase.
Building on the rich heritage of the iconic fortwo, the new model will provide a stylish, efficient and innovative vehicle for the A-segment.
The international debut of the #2 is planned for late 2026, with Europe a key market for the car.
Styled by the Mercedes-Benz Design team, the vehicle will feature new technology for the segment that was established by the original smart fortwo 27 years ago.
smart Europe CEO Dirk Adelmann said, "The confirmation of our ‘project: two’ and the upcoming launch of the smart #2 marks a milestone moment for the smart brand on a global scale. The smart #2 will shape a new era of individual urban automobility, especially in classic smart cities like Rome, London or Paris."
"The decision comes at the right time, as we benefit from the respective strengths of our main shareholders Mercedes-Benz and Geely, and strong backing by new investors, along with the successful market launch of the smart #5."
Building on the successful worldwide introductions of the smart #1, #3 and #5, the smart #2 will complement the product portfolio.
