Overview
- Smart revealed the new two‑seat #2 at the Paris auto show and opened binding pre‑orders on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with list prices from €19,990 to €25,690 and an e‑commerce launch planned for the first half of 2027.
- The car uses Geely’s Electric Compact Architecture (ECA) and is built initially in China for export to Europe, reflecting a split where Mercedes provides design and brand access while Geely supplies platform development and manufacturing.
- Smart published full technical details showing a rear 60 kW motor, a ~35.7–35.8 kWh LFP battery with CATL cells, about 290 km WLTP range and up to 65 kW DC charging that can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in under 20 minutes.
- Warranty terms include three years for the vehicle and an eight‑year/200,000 km battery guarantee that assures roughly 70 percent state of health after that period, and Smart offered four trim levels including a limited Couture edition reported inconsistently as either 999 or 2,000 units.
- The #2’s low price and compact format revive Smart’s Fortwo niche and will be watched as a key indicator of the JV’s ability to gain volume against strong competition and lift Smart’s recent modest sales performance.
