Smart #5 review: the brand’s most ambitious electric SUV
Space, technology and fast charging: the Smart #5 raises the bar, but its size and price matter.
11 October 2026 1 min read 2 views
The Smart #5 is the largest and most complete model in the range. This electric SUV focuses on passenger space, quality materials and extensive technology, with an 800-volt platform and a battery of around 100 kWh. Claimed range exceeds 500 km, while rapid charging keeps stops short.
On the road, it impresses with comfort, refinement and stability, although its dimensions are noticeable in tight spaces. The most powerful versions deliver strong performance but also increase the price. It is an interesting choice for buyers seeking a premium family EV, less so for those wanting a compact, agile Smart.
