Smart is set to broaden its #1 line-up in Europe with the introduction of new entry-level trims, making the electric vehicle more accessible to budget-conscious customers. The new ‘Pure’ and ‘Pure+’ trims will join the existing range by early summer, with Austria already offering these options for the all-electric urban crossover.
According to a Smart spokesperson, “The addition of the Pure and Pure+ trims to the Smart #1 line-up reflects our commitment to providing a wider range of options for customers, ensuring that there is a suitable choice for every budget.”
The Smart #1 Pure and Pure+ trims will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor in the rear, delivering 200 kW and 343 Nm of torque. Both trims offer similar performance, with acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 180 kph. However, the range differs, with the #1 Pure featuring a 49 kWh LFP battery pack and the #1 Pure+ boasting a 66 kWh NCM battery pack.
Charging capabilities also vary between the trims. The #1 Pure supports up to 7.4 kW on AC and 130 kW on DC, with a 5.5-hour charging time from 10 to 80% on AC and 30 minutes on DC. The #1 Pure+ supports up to 22 kW on AC and 150 kW on DC, with a 3-hour charging time on AC and the same 30 minutes on DC.
Both trims come with CyberSparks LED headlights, 18-inch Spark wheels, electrically extending flush-fitted door handles, and LED tail lamps for a sleek appearance. Inside, they feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 9.2-inch full HD digital instrument cluster, fabric seats, and a fabric-wrapped dashboard. Safety features include Adaptive Cruise Control with stop & go, smart pilot assist, and four rear parking sensors.
In Austria, the Smart #1 Pro and Smart #1 Pure+ are priced at €36,200 and €41,200 respectively. With a €1,810 summer bonus, a €2,400 e-mobility bonus, and €3,000 funding from the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology, the prices are reduced to €28,990 and €33,990, making them more affordable for customers.
