Wolfgang Ufer, chief executive of Smart Europe, said the brand new automotive is a \u2018reinvention\u2019 of the brand\u2019s eye-catching original vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Concept #2 combines the creativity and fervour of our Mercedes-Benz design team and provides a transparent vision of the longer term qualities of the smart #2,\u2019 he added. <\/p>\n

\u2018It’s a vehicle shaped by the best way European smart customers truly live and move \u2013 effortless, agile, and efficient.\u2019<\/p>\n

The concept automotive makes its motor show debut in China before a production version is unveiled on the Paris Motor Show 2026 later this yr.<\/p>\n

At under 2.8 metres in length, it’s larger than the Citro\u00ebn Ami or Microlino \u2018bubble automotive\u2019, but these are officially classified as electric quadricycles.<\/p>\n

Despite its compact size, the brand new Smart vehicle is predicted to supply a variety of as much as 186 miles (300 kilometres).<\/p>\n

Its rapid charging capabilities mean it may possibly go from from 10% to 80% power in under 20 minutes. Speed statistics are yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
