The smart #5

The smart #5 is the rugged explorer, built to tackle every journey without a second thought. Its upright stance and clean bodywork give it confidence among other vehicles, while its design balances practicality with efficiency.

Unique features such as the LED lighting and the panoramic Halo roof add a bit more character, giving the car a more adventurous edge. Strong proportions and a more spacious feel throughout help it stand apart, making the smart #5 a strong option that’s just as comfortable in the city as it is heading somewhere a little more off the beaten track.

Built upon a state-of-the-art 800V electrical platform, the smart #5 sets new standards for electric vehicle charging performance. Equipped with a large 100 kWh NCM battery pack, the vehicle supports DC ultra-rapid charging speeds of up to 400 kW. Under optimal conditions, drivers can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes, adding hundreds of miles of range in the time it takes to grab a coffee. This groundbreaking charging technology virtually eliminates range anxiety, making extended cross-country road trips effortless and convenient.

The cockpit of the smart #5 introduces a futuristic dual-screen setup designed for infotainment and passenger comfort. It features two high-resolution 13-inch OLED displays spanning the centre console and front passenger dashboard. The dedicated passenger screen lets co-drivers stream movies, play games, or manage navigation independently without distracting the driver. With customisable ambient lighting featuring up to 256 colours and an advanced voice assistant, the cabin offers an intuitive, high-tech sanctuary for modern digital lifestyles.

Engineered to handle off-road trails alongside city commutes, the smart #5 delivers robust performance. Dual-motor Pulse, BRABUS, and Summit Edition variants deliver intelligent all-wheel drive paired with up to 400 kW of total power output. Drivers can select from specialised driving modes, including Sand, Snow, Mud, and Rock, to optimise traction across challenging surfaces. An integrated energy-saving heat pump ensures optimal battery performance in freezing climates, while an optional electrically retractable tow bar offers a 1,600 kg towing capacity for adventure gear.

With a generous 2,900 mm wheelbase, the smart #5 offers expansive legroom and luxury seating arrangements for all occupants. Cargo capacity leads its class, providing 630 litres of rear boot space (expanding to 1,530 litres with seats folded) plus a front frunk up to 72 litres. While the #5 represents the ultimate in size and luxury, buyers seeking a more compact footprint for urban parking will find excellent alternatives in the smart #1 SUV or the athletic smart #3 coupe.
