A New Chapter for smart
Milton Keynes, UK – 29 October 2025. The next era of smart mobility has arrived. The all-new smart #5 – the brand’s first mid-size SUV and most versatile model to date – is now officially available in the UK, with prices starting from £39,800.
Marking a major evolution for the pioneering urban mobility brand, the smart #5 expands the all-electric portfolio to three models within just three years, joining the acclaimed #1 and #3. Built on an advanced 800-volt platform, it brings exceptional efficiency, rapid charging, and a refined driving experience wrapped in contemporary design.
Electrifying Performance and Everyday Usability
The smart #5 embodies a balance between high performance and real-world practicality. Entry-level Pro models feature a 76 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery offering strong efficiency and everyday usability. From the Pro+ upwards, the lineup features a 100 kWh lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NCM) battery and the 800-volt architecture – capable of up to 366 miles (WLTP) of range.
Thanks to 4C fast-charging technology, the #5 can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes under optimal conditions, while Plug & Charge functionality ensures seamless authentication at compatible stations. With Vehicle-to-Load capability, the #5 also becomes a mobile power source, allowing users to charge laptops, camping gear, or even electric bikes on the go.
The Line-up: From Efficiency to Exhilaration
The UK range consists of five distinct variants: Pro, Pro+, Pulse, Premium, and the range-topping BRABUS.
- smart #5 Pro introduces the model line with panoramic halo roof, advanced comfort systems, and connected tech.
- Pro+, Pulse, and Premium models bring the 800-volt NCM battery and enhanced range.
- Pulse adds intelligent all-wheel drive, a heat pump for greater efficiency, and a dual OLED central display, making it ideal for adventurous drivers.
- Premium offers sophistication and luxury, featuring exclusive trim colours, elegant detailing, and superior refinement.
- Finally, the BRABUS edition crowns the range with 475 kW of power, all-wheel drive, and 0–62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Designed in collaboration with the legendary performance house, the #5 BRABUS delivers unmistakable styling and electric performance with attitude.
Designed for Life in Motion
The smart #5 embodies the brand’s distinctive “Love, Pure, Unexpected” design philosophy – blending minimalist precision with emotional expression. Frameless doors, short overhangs, and a panoramic halo roof give the SUV a dynamic, confident stance. Characteristic oblong LED headlamps, dual-tone mirrors, and floating wheel caps add refinement and individuality.
Inside, craftsmanship meets cutting-edge technology. Premium materials such as oak trim and soft-touch leather combine with curved architectural surfaces to create a calm, modern atmosphere. The cabin has been designed for maximum comfort and flexibility, offering 34 storage compartments, a 72-litre illuminated frunk, and up to 1,530 litres of boot space.
Passengers enjoy heated rear seats, adjustable backrests, and even a configuration that transforms the cabin into a relaxing rest area. Details like airplane-style LED reading lights, an electric sunshield, and 256-colour ambient lighting make every drive feel elevated.
Intelligent Technology at Every Touch
At the core of the smart #5 experience is a new-generation digital cockpit powered by the AMD V2000 chipset and smart OS 2.0. The system integrates:
- A 25.6-inch AR head-up display
- 13-inch OLED centre and passenger screens
- A 10.25-inch Full HD driver display
Together, they create an immersive environment enhanced by AI-supported voice control and the brand’s new digital assistant, Leo. This intelligent companion helps manage navigation, entertainment, and comfort settings through natural speech and context awareness.
A built-in video centre and Unreal 3D engine ensure smooth graphics and responsive interactivity, bringing entertainment and information vividly to life.
Sound That Moves You
For true audiophiles, the Sennheiser Signature Sound System transforms the #5’s cabin into a concert hall on wheels. With 20 high-performance speakers, a dashboard-mounted lifting tweeter, and synchronised ambient lighting, it creates a multi-dimensional soundstage.
Customisation options such as Sound Focus Zones, Immersion Level, and Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 capability allow every passenger to tailor their acoustic experience – whether it’s cinematic surround sound or subtle background immersion.
Built for the Unexpected
Beyond its sleek design and refined performance, the smart #5 is engineered for confidence and safety. A steel-aluminium hybrid body delivers a balance of lightness and rigidity, while V-shaped curtain airbags, seat-integrated belts, and cushion airbags reinforce protection for all occupants.
smart’s Pilot Assist system, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Highway Assist (HWA) ensure comfort and safety across every journey. Combined with five off-road modes – including Sand, Snow, Mud, and Rock – the #5 adapts effortlessly from city streets to the countryside.
Each UK model undergoes rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and comfort under diverse conditions, from urban traffic to challenging terrain.
The Future of smart Mobility
With the launch of the #5, smart continues to redefine what electric mobility can be – intelligent, emotional, and ready for every lifestyle. From its advanced battery technology to its luxurious and flexible interior, the #5 stands as a statement of how far the brand has evolved while staying true to its pioneering spirit.
Now available to order in the UK, pricing starts at £39,800 for the #5 Pro, with the Pro+ from £43,800, the Pulse and Premium from £47,300, and the BRABUS variant from £51,800.
With its combination of elegance, intelligence, and performance, the smart #5 isn’t just another EV – it’s a symbol of the brand’s forward-thinking vision for the road ahead.
