The new Smart #2, unveiled at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, revives the original two‑seater city car for a modern electric era. At just 2.75 m long and weighing only 1,140 kg, it offers a compact footprint ideal for congested streets, while its 35.8 kWh LFP battery promises up to 180 miles (WLTP) of range and rapid 65 kW DC charging. Built on Smart’s bespoke Electric Compact Architecture, the rear‑mounted 80‑hp motor delivers agile performance and a class‑first five‑link rear suspension. The rollout across Europe in early 2025 positions the Smart #2 as a lightweight, low‑emission alternative to the SUV‑dominated market, reinforcing the case for smaller, city‑focused EVs. Watch for the limited Couture Edition launch, expanded European availability, and how municipalities integrate such ultra‑compact EVs into congestion‑pricing and low‑emission zones. [[1, 2]]
