Smart #3 Generations
The first and only recorded generation of the Smart #3 entered production in November 2022 and remains in production. It has an SUV 5-doors body and includes two versions. Both versions are named AT in the catalogue, so they are distinguished by output and drive: AT with 272 hp and RWD, and AT with 428 hp and AWD. No restyling is listed.
Smart #3 Engine and Specs
The Smart #3 uses an Electro powertrain in both versions. Because it is electric, engine displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured in the supplied data. Each version has an Automatic gearbox with 1 gear.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (272 hp) | 272 hp / 200 kW | 343 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 gear | RWD |
| AT (428 hp) | 428 hp / 314 kW | 543 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 gear | AWD |
The AT (428 hp) version has 156 hp, 114 kW, and 200 Nm more than the AT (272 hp) version. The drivetrain is another key distinction: the 272 hp Smart #3 is RWD, while the 428 hp Smart #3 is AWD.
Both Smart #3 versions use Independent, spring front and rear suspension. Front braking is handled by Ventilated disc brakes, while the rear brakes are listed as Disc.
Smart #3 Performance, Economy, and MPG
The AT (272 hp) Smart #3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 180 km/h. The AT (428 hp) Smart #3 completes the same acceleration test in 3.7 seconds and also has a maximum speed of 180 km/h. The 428 hp version is therefore 2.1 seconds quicker from 0 to 100 km/h, although neither version has a higher listed top speed.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (272 hp) | 5.8 sec | 180 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 g/km |
| AT (428 hp) | 3.7 sec | 180 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 g/km |
City, highway, and combined energy-consumption figures are not measured for either version. Consequently, an mpg equivalent cannot be calculated from the supplied data. Driving range and charging performance are also not measured. Both versions have a listed CO₂ figure of 0 g/km.
Smart #3 Dimensions, Size, and Weight
Exterior length, width, height, wheelbase, boot dimensions, and luggage capacity are not measured in the supplied specifications. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are also not measured for either Smart #3 version.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (272 hp) | 1,855 kg | 2,154 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| AT (428 hp) | 1,985 kg | 2,360 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured |
The AT (428 hp) model is 130 kg heavier at kerb weight and 206 kg heavier at gross weight than the AT (272 hp) model. The difference between gross and kerb weight is 299 kg for the 272 hp version and 375 kg for the 428 hp version.
A tank figure is not measured for either version. The supplied data identifies both powertrains as Electro but does not provide battery capacity, so no battery-size figure should be inferred from the missing tank entry.
Smart #3 Problems and Reliability
Problems, reliability records, warranty information, and maintenance data are not measured in the supplied catalogue data. The specifications therefore support a comparison of power, torque, acceleration, drive, and weight, but they do not support a reliability ranking between the two versions.
Which Smart #3 Version to Choose?
Choose the AT (272 hp) Smart #3 if the lower listed kerb weight and RWD configuration are the priorities. It produces 272 hp and 343 Nm, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, and weighs 1,855 kg. Its maximum speed is 180 km/h.
Choose the AT (428 hp) Smart #3 if stronger performance and AWD are more important. It produces 428 hp and 543 Nm and reaches 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Compared with the 272 hp version, it provides 156 hp and 200 Nm more, cuts 2.1 seconds from the 0–100 km/h time, and adds 130 kg to the kerb weight. Its top speed remains the same at 180 km/h.
Price, equipment grade, range, charging speed, consumption, dimensions, and reliability cannot decide the comparison because those figures are not measured in the supplied data. On the available specifications alone, the choice is between the lighter 272 hp RWD version and the quicker, more powerful 428 hp AWD version.
