BMW X1 rival will be previewed as a rugged concept in Beijing next week; tiny #2 will replace ForTwo soon after
Smart has confirmed it will preview its largest and most spacious model to date, an electric SUV called the #5, at next week’s 2024 Beijing motor show. The new model, described as moving “far beyond the urban boundaries” of original Smart models, will be unveiled in concept form prior to a start to production in China later this year and planned UK sales in 2025.
Notably, the overhangs are kept to a minimum in a bid to provide maximum interior space. The concept in Beijing will ramp up the rugged elements with off-road styling flourishes, including a roof-mounted storage compartment with LED lights, a shovel, inflatable chairs and a snowboard. It is based on the same platform as the #1 and #3.
