Overview

• The Mercedes‑Benz and Geely joint venture has officially announced the smart #2 as a fully electric, ultra‑compact two‑seater.
• The model is in its final design and development phase, with a public presentation set for 2026 and European sales anticipated in 2027.
• Mercedes‑Benz will lead design while production occurs in China, a choice that may expose EU deliveries to potential import tariffs.
• Smart is positioning the car for urban use in Europe, with CEO Dirk Adelmann highlighting Rome and Paris as emblematic markets.
• Technical details and final pricing were not disclosed, though reporting suggests a range beyond the prior ~135 km, a starting price near €20,000, and a subsequent Brabus version.
