smart #3 has been unveiled today at Auto Shanghai as the brand's first intelligent pure electric compact coupe SUV, following the "sensibility and agility" design philosophy tailored by the Mercedes-Benz global design team for the smart brand.

Outside, stimulating, and dynamic; inside, a new luxury future. The new smart #3 touches the heart with its "new luxury sports aesthetic" from the inside out. The smooth body characteristic lines and dynamic elegant curves highlight its surging and dynamic muscle tension and new luxury elegance, perfectly interpreting the law of attraction of "opposites united". The new model is 4,400 mm long, has a class-leading wheelbase of 2,785mm, and a "four-wheel, four-corner" design, continuing the space design concept of "compact on the outside, spacious on the inside".

smart #3 has a T-shaped smart cockpit that combines high-tech aesthetics with an avant-garde sense of sportiness. The first thing that catches your eye on the integrated wrap-around coupe seat is the clean, capsule-shaped, and rounded design elements. The instrument panel with 3D Mesh upholstery process, contrast stitching design, headrest smart logo, and industry-first seat rivet design all reflect luxury sports style. Reminiscent of Mercedes-AMG's powerful performance label, the turbine-type air conditioning vents add boldness and excitement to the immersive interior. The entire cockpit not only has a futuristic sense of luxury but also ergonomic comfort. The digital instrument cluster is integrated into the dashboard, exquisite as a sculpture, complementing the 12.8-inch floating central control screen. The 1.6㎡ oversized immersive panoramic canopy brings a wide view and romantic atmosphere, and the interlayer silver plating process can block 99% of ultraviolet rays, without fear of the sun. The 64-color dual-zone smart mood light with music rhythm function, combined with the 13-speaker sound system created by Beats Gold Tuner, brings a heart-stirring visual and auditory feast to the new model.

smart #3 is equipped with class-leading smart technology configurations, creating a captivating and personalized intelligent experience through engaging UI/UX design and efficient and advanced intelligent interaction. In the industry's first "smart inspired planet" intelligent human-computer interaction system, the new smart #3 will bring the new Avatar voice genie assistant - Cheetah. The Mercedes-Benz global design team has created 40 image movements and 6 exclusive movements by extracting and restoring the original form of the cheetah, which perfectly combines the wild nature of the trigger with the inspiration of new luxury elegance.
