Smart #5, the test of the brand’s largest electric SUV
Space, technology and performance impress, but comfort does not always meet expectations.
The Smart #5 expands the range with an electric SUV that is larger and more versatile than the #1 and #3 models. The cabin provides plenty of room, well-finished materials and comprehensive technology. Its 800-volt platform enables rapid charging, while the most powerful versions deliver brisk acceleration.
On the road, the #5 feels stable and secure, although its size is noticeable in urban areas. Comfort is generally good, but some bumps reach the cabin. Overall, it is a convincing choice for buyers seeking a family-friendly, technological and distinctive electric vehicle, with a few compromises in everyday practicality.
