In the cabin, the highlight is a 12.8’’ infotainment system screen, with different connectivity packages, and a 9.2’’ instrument panel, both Full HD, complemented by premium fabric seats.
The new Pure equipment level now becomes the entry point in the Smart #1 range, featuring an electric motor with 272 hp and 343 Nm of torque, powered by a 49 kWh battery offering a range of 310 km according to the WLTP cycle. It can recharge at up to 130 kW in DC and up to 7.4 kW in AC.
