New smart Cars at Vertu

smart has reinvented itself as a premium all-electric brand. Once known for its tiny two-seat city cars, smart is now a joint venture between the Mercedes-Benz Group and Geely, pairing striking Mercedes-Benz design with advanced electric engineering. The result is a modern, fully electric range built around city and family life: the compact #1, the coupe-styled #3 and the larger, award-winning #5. Every model delivers zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, with the style, technology and quality that set smart apart.

It is a range that has quickly earned recognition, with the #5 named Family Electric SUV of the Year at the What Car? Awards 2026, following similar wins for the #1 and #3. Whether you want a nimble electric hatchback or a spacious premium SUV, there is a smart built around how you drive. At Vertu, our colleagues can talk you through the full new smart range and help you find the right car for your budget and daily drive.

What Are smart Cars Like to Drive?

The range covers three fully electric models of increasing size, so the right choice comes down to how much space you need and the style you prefer. Specifications and availability vary by trim, so confirm the current details with your local Vertu smart dealership.

smart #1

The #1 is smart's compact electric SUV and the model that launched the brand's new era. It packs a premium, spacious cabin and handy agility into a city-friendly footprint, with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Named Best Small Electric SUV at the 2024 What Car? Awards, it suits drivers who want a stylish, well-equipped electric car that stays easy to park and cheap to run.

smart #3

The #3 takes the #1's underpinnings and wraps them in a sleeker, more coupe-like body with a sportier feel. It offers a similar high-quality interior and technology with a lower, more dynamic stance, and it too has been recognised by What Car? as a class-leading small electric SUV. This is the smart for drivers who want the same electric ability with a sharper, more expressive design.

smart #5

The #5 is smart's largest and most sophisticated model, a premium mid-size electric SUV with a spacious, high-quality cabin and genuine family practicality. Built on an advanced 800-volt platform, higher-specification versions support ultra-rapid charging that can take the battery from 10% to 80% in under 18 minutes. Named Family Electric SUV of the Year at the What Car? Awards 2026 and recognised by Euro NCAP for its safety, it suits families wanting space, range and premium quality.

A Fully Electric Range

Every smart is fully electric, so the whole range offers zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, low running costs and the convenience of charging at home or on the public network. There are no petrol or diesel options to weigh up, just a choice of battery size and power to match how far you drive. Our colleagues can help you find the right model and range for your needs.

smart Interior and Technology

Inside, smart pairs Mercedes-Benz-influenced design with a technology-led cabin built around a large central touchscreen running the smart operating system, complete with a playful animated assistant. Depending on the model and trim, you will find a digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, a panoramic glass roof and a premium Beats audio system, all wrapped in high-quality materials and clever, flexible storage.

Safety and driver assistance are a strong point, with the #5 earning a best-in-class Euro NCAP safety award and the range offering a comprehensive suite of assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping support. Exact equipment varies by model and trim, so confirm the specification for your chosen car with your local dealership.
