After months of teasing, and one preview drive later, Smart Malaysia has finally launched the Smart #3. Billed as the only premium battery-EV SUV Coupe, pioneering a new segment in Malaysia, the #3 arrives in three trims – Pro, Premium and BRABUS models. The #3 is designed by Mercedes-Benz, the SUV stands out with a sleek exterior and a sophisticated interior packed with intelligent features across the range.
The Smart #3 will be available as Pro, Premium, and BRABUS models specifically tailored for the Malaysian market.
The Smart #3 Pro variant features low drag 19-inch Flux Wheels and a new industry-first seat rivet design with headrest featuring the smart logo. It is powered by a 49kWh LFP Battery, providing a WLTP Range of 325km.
The Smart #3 Premium variant offers additional features including ‘CyberSparksLED + Matrix Headlamps’, an Illuminated Front Grille, and a 66kWh NCM Battery.
