smart Motability Scheme Price List — 1 October to 31 December 2026
Looking for a new smart on the Motability Scheme? At Group 1 Automotive, we bring together the all electric smart #1 range, with clear, up to date Motability Scheme pricing across every trim. Whether you want the strong range of the Pro + or the highest specification of the Premium, our latest quarterly smart Motability Scheme price list makes it easy to compare Advance Payments and find the right car for you.
Prices below reflect the smart Motability Scheme price list for 1 October to 31 December 2026 and range from £5,399 Advance Payment on the smart #1 Pro +, up to £6,449 for the range topping Premium. Advance Payments include VAT at the standard rate, and every lease includes insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover as standard.
smart #1 Motability Scheme Offers
The smart #1 is a compact, fully electric SUV that brings bold design and a genuinely spacious cabin to a footprint that still suits town driving and tight parking spaces. Every smart #1 on the Motability Scheme is a five door, five seat automatic with a 200kW electric motor, so both trims deliver the same smooth, quiet, single speed driving experience. The difference between them comes down to equipment level, with the 66kWh Pro + offering the lower Advance Payment and the 66kWh Premium adding a higher specification for drivers who want the most complete package.

smart #1 Range and Charging on the Motability Scheme
Both smart #1 models on the Motability Scheme are fully electric, so there is no fuel to budget for, only charging. The Pro + and Premium both use a 66kWh battery, giving a range of up to 261 miles and up to 273 miles respectively, making longer trips and motorway journeys straightforward with fewer charging stops.
Official range figures are based on standardised testing and real world range will vary with weather, driving style, speed and how much of your journey is at motorway speeds. Most Motability Scheme customers find that charging at home overnight covers the majority of their driving, with public rapid charging used for longer journeys. Our team can talk you through home charge point installation, public charging networks and what the switch to electric is likely to mean for your running costs.
Which smart #1 Trim Should You Choose?
|
Trim |
Advance Payment |
Best For |
|
Pro + |
£5,399.00 |
The lower Advance Payment of the two trims, with a 66kWh battery and up to 261 miles of range for drivers who want strong everyday range |
|
Premium |
£6,449.00 |
The highest specification in the smart Motability Scheme range, with up to 273 miles of range and the most complete equipment package |
Because every smart #1 shares the same 200kW motor, 66kWh battery, five seat layout and automatic transmission, choosing between the Pro + and Premium is mainly a question of specification and budget. If you are unsure, our team can help you work out which trim makes sense for your typical driving.

What's a smart #1 Like to Drive?
The smart #1 is easy and relaxed to drive. As a fully electric car, it has a Single Speed Automatic transmission, so there is no clutch and no gear changing, and power is delivered smoothly and quietly from the moment you pull away. The raised SUV driving position makes getting in and out easier than a low-slung hatchback, while the compact footprint keeps it manageable in car parks and on narrow streets. Light steering, good visibility and a well-judged ride make it a straightforward choice for drivers moving to electric for the first time.
smart and the Motability Scheme
The smart #1 is available through the Motability Scheme, letting you exchange all or part of a qualifying mobility allowance for a brand new car with fixed, worry free monthly costs, including insurance, servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover for up to three named drivers. Because the smart #1 is fully electric, you only need to budget for charging rather than fuel.
You may be eligible if you receive:
-
The enhanced rate mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
-
The higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
-
War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
-
Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
Always check your eligibility directly with the relevant government body before applying.
Our team understands that every customer's mobility needs are different, and that moving to an electric car raises questions about range, charging and cost. We are here to help you decide whether the smart #1 fits your lifestyle and budget, and which battery and trim suits your driving.
