In April, Smart unveiled its Concept #2, a two-seater vehicle reminiscent of the Fortwo. The company had initially announced that a production model would be showcased at the Paris Motor Show in October; however, images of the #2 have surfaced online earlier than anticipated. These images were shared by Chinese news outlet Autohome and originate from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
The Smart #2 depicts the recognizable silhouette of the two-seater, accompanied by a unique baseball cap-like appearance at the rear. The car features a prominent rear spoiler, angular front headlights akin to cartoon characters, and rounder taillights with a distinctive water drop-like tip. Frameless windows and traditional pull-type door handles are also part of the #2's design, adhering to the Chinese government's upcoming ban on hidden EV door handles in 2027.
The vehicle is equipped with either 15-inch steel wheels or 16-inch alloy wheels, while the interior remains undisclosed. The S-shaped dashboard, similar to the Fortwo, is another notable feature. Additionally, the Smart #2 measures 2,751mm in length, 1,669mm in width, and 1,555mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1,875mm. This makes the car slightly over the 1,875mm wheelbase threshold required to fit within the #1, Smart's next smallest model.
Weighing in at 1,130kg, the Smart #2 comes with a 60 kW rear motor and a 30 kWh battery, as per the latest report.
