UK pricing for the new smart #3 has been announced.
Sales of the #3 are set to commence early next year in the UK.
The #3 offers larger proportions, more athletic curves, a powerful ‘shark nose’ and slim LED headlights. A 370-litre boot (up to 1,160 litres with the rear seats folded) provides great practicality, while a panoramic halo roof connects the cabin to its surroundings creating a light & spacious environment.
The #3 also boasts improved aerodynamics and performance. Optimized spring rates and a modified shock absorber set-up promote a sportier feel across the range, while a lower centre of gravity and stiffer stabilizer bars on the front and rear axles minimize body roll during cornering. A lower seating position further enhances the experience, promoting a better connection between driver and vehicle.
The model range consists of the Pro+, the limited 25th Anniversary Edition, the Premium and a BRABUS version. Each line offers its own unique appeal, with peak power ranging from 200kW to 315kW, acceleration from 5.8 to 3.7 seconds and range from 258 to 283 miles.
The entry-level Pro trim will be the option for drivers seeking value for money. With peak power of 200kW, the Pro accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.8 seconds, while also featuring a 202-mile range and an extensive list of standard kit.
There’s a good level of standard technology from smart Pilot Assist, which combines a variety of systems such as a Highway Assistant (HWA) and Automatic Parking Assist (APA) to improved comfort and safety. There’s also Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing drivers to bring smartphone features and apps to the 12.8-inch full HD infotainment display.
smart is also able to distribute new features quickly via the #3’s over-the-air (OTA) capability, allowing updates to be implemented directly by the user without a visit to the service centre.
The smart #3 will be launched in the UK in early 2024. Pricing will start at £32,950 for the #3 Pro, with the Pro+ available for £36,950, the Premium for £39,950, the limited-run 25th Anniversary Edition for £40,950, and the BRABUS for £45,450.
