Smart unveils electric two-seat city car at Paris motor show

Smart has unveiled the #2, a small, all-electric two-seat car, at the Paris motor show.

It returns to the compact city-car idea behind the brand’s earlier Fortwo, whose production ended in 2024.

At 2.75 metres long, the new car is designed to fit into tight streets and parking spaces, and Smart gives its turning circle as 6.95 metres.

It has a 60 kW motor driving the rear wheels and a 35.8 kWh battery.

Smart gives its maximum range as 290 km under the WLTP test standard and says fast charging from 10% to 80% can take 20 minutes.

The car also has a split rear hatch and a claimed 305 litres of luggage space.

Smart says customers can order it now; the German article lists prices starting at €19,990.
