smart has confirmed the global premiere of two new vehicles: the smart #6 EHD plug-in hybrid and the smart #2 concept car. The official unveiling is scheduled for April 22.
The smart #2 concept is based on a new ECA architecture and features a two-door, two-seat layout. It represents an evolution of the classic smart fortwo, retaining its compact footprint with four wheels at the corners and rear-wheel-drive layout, but with completely new exterior and interior designs. Initially, a hardtop coupe version will be offered, with a convertible variant potentially following. The concept is expected to utilize a battery pack with a capacity of around 30 kWh.
The smart #6 EHD adopts a standard three-box sedan silhouette with a fastback design, drawing inspiration from a shark's form. It will offer 19-inch and 20-inch wheel options. At the rear, a full-width light bar integrated with a trim piece enhances the sporty character, complemented by a large active rear spoiler. Dimensions are 4906 mm long, 1922 mm wide, and 1508 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2926 mm.
Powertrain details for the #6 EHD come from official regulatory filings. It will be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged plug-in hybrid system, where the internal combustion engine produces 120 kW. Two battery capacities will be available: 20 kWh and 41.46 kWh. According to the filings, these correspond to all-electric driving ranges of 110 km and 234 km respectively under the WLTC test cycle.
The introduction of the #6 EHD and the #2 concept will significantly broaden smart's product lineup. They are set to join the existing #1, #3, #5, and the standard #6 models, forming a comprehensive new family for the brand.
