Smart’s Most Versatile Vehicle to Date
Styled by Mercedes-Benz, the #5 picks up on familiar Smart design elements including a panoramic halo roof, frameless doors, and short front and rear overhangs. The Smart #5 has a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, with an overall length of 4,705 mm.
The #5 features Smart’s characteristic, oblong headlights at the front and rear, as well as the Smart logo on the D-pillar. Dual-coloured mirrors and floating wheel caps with central Smart logos, which remain upright when the wheels spin, ensure a premium feel.
Equipped with the exclusive Adventurers’ Collection, the Smart #5 Summit Edition combines premium quality, practical innovations, and multifunctionality with features such as a roof light bar, an electric trailer hitch, and underbody protection, a roof carrier, side steps, a side bag, and a side ladder included in the package.
Technically Sophisticated Interior for Even More Premium Character
The all-new #5 offers a modern, spacious, and tech-savvy interior. ‘Zero-gravity’ front leather seats with 121 degrees of recline, V-shaped head curtain airbags, cushion airbags, and seat-integrated safety belts ensure comfort and safety. The rear features leather seats with a generous 1,060 mm of headroom, heating, adjustable seatbacks, an electric sunshield, and airplane-style LED reading lights with a “First Class” setting. A one-button comfort mode offers passengers more legroom. Accents such as oak trim and curved, oblong design elements reinforce the premium aesthetic.
