Smart Concept # 1, the electric SUV concept debuts at the IAA Mobility

by admin

The new Smart Concept # 1 debuts at the first edition of the IAA Mobility in Munich. The close-to-production smart Concept # 1 transfers the very compact exterior dimensions and traditional smart design into a new vehicle concept. Made on a native Bev platform, the Smart Concept # 1 has not revealed the characteristics of the electric motorization and the available range but mileage above 350 kilometers are expected. Among the novelties there is also a new sales model, with a greater online presence.

Style and size

The new Smart Concept is characterized by traditional reduced overhangs on the front and rear and a modern style. One of the central elements of the design is the glass roof, profiled by an illuminated frame, the doors with folding openings and the frameless windows. Added to this are the 21-inch wheels. In terms of dimensions (length / width / height in mm: 4,290 / 1,910 / 1,698; wheelbase: 2,750 mm), the Concept # 1 was created to deal with city traffic.

Connected interiors

One of the most significant design elements of the smart Concept # 1 interior is the center console, which extends between the front seats and integrates seamlessly with the unique dashboard design. The central control element is the independent 3D touch screen with 12.8-inch display. The new generation of smart models will be equipped with a central computer that controls four main domains: infotainment, driver assistance systems, specific functions for electric mobility and electric / electronic vehicle architecture (E / E architecture). Thanks to Ota software updates, over 75% of all engine control units (ECUs) can be continuously updated remotely. The unique control interface design, first presented in the smart Concept # 1, is particularly intuitive. A three-dimensional sphere is the central menu element of a high-resolution 12.8-inch touch screen. An AI avatar helps the user navigate the different menus and functions. Thanks to artificial intelligence, this virtual assistant continuously learns from the user’s behavior and can thus increasingly adapt to individual preferences. A new smartphone app, specially developed for smart, will help to increase the level of comfort. In addition to the digital key function, it will also allow the integration of various network services and functions into the user’s digital ecosystem. The Beats premium sound system ensures perfect on-board acoustics.

The new Chinese era

With the creation of the joint venture smart Automobile Co., Ltd., Mercedes-Benz AG and Geely Automobile embarked on a new chapter in the company’s history at the end of 2019. The two equal partners intend to transform smart into a leading global manufacturer of premium electric vehicles. The Geely network will take care of the development of the new smart generation, while the interior and exterior styling will be taken care of by the Mercedes-Benz global design network.
