Smart will launch the #3, a coupe-style compact full-electric crossover, in Europe early next year, joining the #1 as part of the brand’s revamped lineup under joint Mercedes-Geely control.
Like the #1, a small crossover SUV, the #3 uses Geely’s SEA architecture. It was revealed on Monday during the Shanghai auto show, and will be shown to the public at the Munich auto show in September. Though the cars are similar, the #3 is considered a compact model, and reports from China suggest that it will be similar in length to the Volkswagen ID4, at about 4,600 mm long.
Smart, a 50-50 JV between Mercedes-Benz and Geely, says the #1 is a “sports-utility coupe” with premium and sporty look. Like the #1, it will be built in China and exported to Europe.
