Smart unveils the #1 Brabus sporty SUV

Over 400 PS and a 0-60 time of less than 4 seconds

Smart’s first SUV is already upping its game. Three months after its launch, the #1 has moved up a gear with a sporty version designed by Brabus. Externally, the vehicle stands out from its commoner cousins with exclusive colours lined with red accents on the lower part and the roof. There is also a new grille and a revised bonnet with air intakes.

The 19-inch wheels are unique to the Brabus model, as is the rear spoiler. In the cabin, the new bucket seats are the most striking feature. They are accompanied by aluminium pedals and a steering wheel covered in leather and Alcantara. On the technical side, the #1 Brabus is surprising for its class, as it features two electric motors with a combined power of 428 PS and 523 Nm of torque. It does 0-60 in just 3.7 seconds.

Impressive figures for a vehicle measuring 4.27 m! The battery, on the other hand, remains the same as in the basic version with a 66 kWh capacity. Due to the two electric machines, the range could be estimated to be less than that of the normal model with about 250 mi (400 km) achievable on a full charge. While the vehicle will soon be launched in China, it is not yet known whether it will be available in Europe.
