Tesla Killer? Smart #5: The EV America CAN'T Have! Big Mistake?

Uploaded 4 months ago by Real Channel Automotive

Video Summary

The new Smart #5 electric SUV is about the size of a Tesla Model Y. It has a boxier, more rugged look. The design features include floating center caps on the wheels, frameless doors, and an optional electric trailer hitch. This car runs on Geely's PMA2+ platform, giving it 800-volt fast charging, unlike its smaller siblings. It can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

Power and range features depend on the model. The base model comes with a 76 kWh battery, while there's a 100 kWh option. The bigger battery can go up to 366 miles on the WLTP cycle, but likely under 300 miles in real-world driving. All-wheel drive models have 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds due to a dual-motor setup. The performance ranges from 358 to 416 horsepower, depending on the trim.

The car has a triple screen setup inside, with one for the driver and two OLED touchscreens. It has heated rear seats, a Sennheiser sound system, airplane-style LED reading lights, reclining seats, and augmented reality heads-up display.

The Smart #5 will not be available in the US. It will be available in Europe in late 2025 with pricing details to come.
