The smart #3 will premiere at Auto Shanghai 2023 on 18 April.
Like the smart #1, the interior and exterior design of the smart #3 is a creation of the Mercedes-Benz global design team.
“This muscular, yet elegantly sensual and perfectly balanced attraction of opposites makes the design an important milestone in the evolution of smart’s premiumness’ core value,” said Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz AG. “The design of the #3 is emotionally confident, attracting and even thrilling the viewer.”
Dirk Adelmann, CEO smart Europe, said: “After launching the smart #1, we are excited to present the second model since our rebranding: The smart #3. It will be unveiled at Auto Shanghai and the car will be a vital element of our product portfolio that enables us to further shape urban mobility.”
The smart #3 extends the new product range established by the smart #1, which has made its European market debut and is set to arrive in the UK in summer this year. Further details on the new smart #3 for the European market will be released at a later stage, the company said.
