smart #1 Compact Electric SUV Will Be Launched In Singapore By The First Half Of 2024
Cycle & Carriage adds smart brand to portfolio that already includes Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Kia and Citroen.
This year marks smart’s 25th anniversary
2023 marks the 25th anniversary of smart - the brand's latest innovation is the all-electric compact premium SUV, smart #1. This milestone reflects smart's ongoing commitment to electric drive, catering to the rising local demand for electric vehicles and solidifying its legacy of unique and forward-thinking products.
What exactly is a smart #1?
The smart #1, the first model in the brand's all-electric portfolio, is a compact SUV designed with contemporary mobility in mind. Its unique architecture creates a spacious cabin. The interior is characterised by movable rear seats for customisable legroom. Distinctive design elements, including ambient lights and a floating centre console enhance the overall experience of the smart #1.
The smart #1 looks really good…
It’s the result of the Mercedes-Benz Design Studio team's efforts. Emphasising the themes of love, pure and unexpected, the vehicle features frameless doors and a floating halo roof. The incorporation of seamless glass treatment reflects the new premium standard set by smart. Oh, it must be mentioned that it shares Geely’s scalable architecture with the Volvo EX30 and Zeekr X, which makes visual differentiation that much more challenging (and impressive given how cool this looks).

Can I buy a smart in Singapore right now?
For sure - there’s a smart ForTwo Edition Bluedawn EV fettled by Brabus listed on Carousell Autos. 80bhp and 159Nm is nothing to shout about these days, but we all know the immediacy of EV drivetrains and how effective they are deployed in city settings. It’s made in France, tested on cobbled French streets - Orchard Road jaunts will be a cinch.
