The 2025 Smart #1 Pro is a seriously stylish compact electric SUV that’s ready to shake up the city car scene! This Pro trim aims to be the accessible gateway into Smart's funky new EV world, packing a surprising punch. It's designed for urban adventurers looking for character and zero emissions.

It’s small on the outside, but big on personality and tech!

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Smart #1 Pro largely continues its impressive package, building on its recent successful launch. Having joined the lineup to offer a more accessible entry point with its specific battery and feature set, the focus for this model year remains on delivering that established blend of distinctive design, peppy performance, and smart technology. Expect the same great recipe, possibly with minor software tweaks or refinements that keep it fresh against the competition in the bustling European market.

Design & Exterior

This ain't your grandma's Smart car! The #1 Pro boasts a super-smooth, futuristic SUV design that really turns heads. Think clean lines, a ‘floating roof’ effect, and cool flush door handles. The Pro trim keeps things chic and modern. Key dimensions are properly city-friendly: it’s 4270 mm long, 1822 mm wide (mirrors excluded), and stands 1636 mm tall. It’s a compact stunner that looks more premium than its price tag might suggest, with distinct lighting signatures that make it pop, day or night.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the #1 Pro, and it's like a mini premium lounge! Quality materials and a surprisingly spacious cabin greet you, comfortably seating five. Up front, a massive 12.8-inch central touchscreen steals the show, running a slick infotainment system, complemented by a 9.2-inch digital driver’s display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are on board for seamless connectivity. For your gear, there's a decent 323-litre boot, expanding to a useful 986 litres with the rear seats folded, plus a handy 15-litre frunk for charging cables!

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let its cute looks fool you; the Smart #1 Pro is surprisingly nippy! It zips from 0 to 100 km/h in a brisk 6.7 seconds, thanks to its rear-wheel-drive setup powered by a single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This feisty motor churns out a healthy 200 kW (that's 272 horsepower!) and 343 Nm of torque, making city driving an absolute blast. Expect a comfy ride with agile handling, perfect for darting through traffic. Braking is solid, with effective regenerative modes to help claw back some energy.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Smart #1 Pro is equipped with a 47 kWh usable battery pack, delivering a real-world range estimated by Green Cars Compare at around 264 km – plenty for daily urban missions. It boasts an efficiency of 5.62 km/kWh. Topping up is easy: the standard 7.4 kW on-board AC charger will take it from empty to full in around 6.5 hours. Need a quick boost? It supports DC fast charging at up to 130 kW via its CCS Type 2 port, meaning a 10-80% top-up can be done in under 30 minutes!

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is paramount in the Smart #1 Pro, backed by an impressive 5-star Euro NCAP rating. While it’s the entry-level Pro, it still gets a decent bundle of standard driver-assistance kit to keep you secure. This typically includes essentials like automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and rear parking sensors. More advanced features such as adaptive cruise control are usually reserved for higher trims, but the Pro ensures a confident and safe drive around town.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Smart offers a reassuring warranty package for the #1 Pro in Europe. Owners typically benefit from a basic vehicle warranty of 3 years with unlimited kilometres. Crucially, the high-voltage battery is covered for a more extensive 8 years or 200,000 kilometres, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. The electric drive unit often shares this robust 8-year/200,000km coverage. As an EV, maintenance is generally simpler and less frequent than a petrol car, though specific complimentary maintenance plans can vary by market.
