Overview

• Smart has formally confirmed the #2, a fully electric two-seater that returns the brand to the A-segment city-car class defined by the Fortwo.
• The model is styled by Mercedes‑Benz Design, will be produced in China under the Mercedes‑Geely joint venture, and is now in final design and development.
• It rides on an all-new proprietary ultra-compact EV architecture developed by smart’s in‑house R&D team rather than a downsized existing platform.
• Smart plans a late‑2026 premiere and market launches in China, Europe and selected global markets, with teasers showing a tiny footprint and two-seat layout.
• Technical specifications and pricing remain undisclosed, and analysts note potential EU import‑tariff exposure as the car is built in China alongside the #1, #3 and #5 lineup.
