Category scores

These are our own numbers, not the manufacturer’s stars. The scale runs from 0 to 100, higher is better, and every figure carries a source with a reference date. Which category weighs more for you is something you know better than we do. How these scores work.

  • Sustainability 72/100
    Sustainability: 72 of 100. Source and reference date source: WLTP consumption + Smart battery warranty (8 yr/160,000 km) + LCA indication ICCT 2024 (China production factored in) · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Reliability not yet rated
    Reliability: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too recently in production; first year in EU, no stable owner or ADAC data per trim yet · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Fuel economy 72/100
    Fuel economy: 72 of 100. Source and reference date source: WLTP 16.3 kWh/100km versus compact EV coupe-SUV segment (manufacturer figure, indicative) · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Practicality 66/100
    Practicality: 66 of 100. Source and reference date source: Boot 370 l + 15 l frunk + towing weight 1,600 kg, coupe roofline limits rear headroom (manufacturer figure, indicative) · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Value retention not yet rated
    Value retention: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too short on the market for stable residual-value data per trim · reference date 2026-05-21

Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (150 kW) ~ 28
At a 150 kW charger ~ 28
At a 50 kW charger ~ 84
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the Smart #3 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 46,490 (reference date 2026-05-21). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the Smart #3?

455 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How much can the Smart #3 tow?

1600 kg braked (with trailer brakes) — the figure that applies when your trailer (such as a caravan) has its own brakes. Manufacturer figure; the exact, binding limit for a specific car is on its registration document.

How long does fast-charging the Smart #3 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 28 minutes on a 150 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the Smart #3?

62 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the Smart #3 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 16.3 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the Smart #3 have?

370 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

In depth

Smart is a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely. The Premium RWD has 272 hp and a 62 kWh net battery, WLTP around 455 km. DC charging peaks at 150 kW.

About the Smart #3 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Smart #3 is the coupe-SUV sibling of the Smart #1; it shares the Geely SEA platform with the #1 and with the Volvo EX30. Smart is a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Group and Geely Holding; production is in China. The body is longer and lower than the Smart #1 (4.40 m), with a more sloping roofline.

In practice

The Premium RWD uses a 62 kWh net battery (66 kWh nominal) and a 272 hp rear motor; WLTP range is around 455 km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks at 150 kW; 10-80% takes under 30 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Boot space is 370 litres plus a 15-litre frunk (manufacturer figure). The indicative starting price is around 46,490 euro in Germany; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

Braked towing weight of 1,600 kg is reasonable for a coupe-SUV in this class; check it against your actual caravan weight. Boot of 370 litres is small compared with the upright Smart #1 at 411 litres; the coupe roofline takes its share. The infotainment and driver-assist software receive over-the-air updates; whether the cabin layout works in practice is a matter of taste, check it on a test drive at the official dealer.
