smart smart #5: range, price, specs and where it is sold
Facts checked
The smart #5 is the largest car the brand has made: a 4,695 mm SUV on an 800-volt electrical system, with DC charging quoted at up to 400 kW and 10 to 80 per cent in about 18 minutes on the larger pack. smart UK offers a 76 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery on the Pro and a 100 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt pack on the higher trims, with WLTP range from 288 miles (463 km) to 366 miles (589 km) and a starting price of GBP 39,800. A Premium all-wheel-drive version was added in July 2026 at EUR 2,500 above the rear-drive Premium, rated at 540 km WLTP.
smart is a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz AG and Geely Holding Group, and the #5 is built in China; Wikipedia records the plant as Huzhou in Zhejiang province, from 2024. smart's own European press releases do not name the plant, so the location is flagged here as coming from a secondary source. A plug-in hybrid version is recorded by Wikipedia on Geely's GEA architecture.
Euro NCAP awarded the smart #5 Pro five stars in 2025, with 88 per cent for adult occupant protection, 93 per cent for child occupants, 84 per cent for vulnerable road users and 92 per cent for safety assist; smart said it was the highest overall score among large SUVs tested that year and noted a steel-aluminium hybrid body made up of 82 per cent high-strength material.
