Smart unveils two-seat #2 electric car with a targeted 290 km range
Smart, a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely, unveiled the electric #2 at the Paris Motor Show on October 12.
The two-seat car brings back the compact city-car format associated with Smart’s earlier Fortwo models.
Its European version has a 35.8 kWh battery and a 60 kW motor that drives the rear wheels.
Smart targets a range of 290 km, but the European specifications still need final approval.
The company says fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes.
In Europe, prices start at €19,990, and deliveries are due to begin in 2027; early ordering is also planned in China, where local pricing and availability have not been announced.
The return to a two-seat car follows Smart’s expansion into larger electric models.
