Overview
The 2026 smart #1 Pro+ is a five-seat electric SUV with rear-wheel drive and a single-speed automatic, priced from $49,900 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It runs a 66kWh battery with a claimed 420km (WLTP) range and can take DC fast charging at a peak of 150kW. Boot space is 323 litres with the seats up and 986 litres with the rear seats folded, and it can tow 1,600kg braked. The boot with the seats up is on the modest side, so keep that in mind if you regularly haul bulky gear. It suits someone after a compact electric SUV for city and suburban driving who still wants the option to tow a small trailer.

That gets you a 5-seat electric SUV with all-wheel drive, a 66kWh battery and a claimed 400km (WLTP) of range. DC fast charging peaks at 150kW, and the boot holds 313 litres with the rear seats up. The boot is on the small side for a family SUV, so it's worth checking it fits your gear. It suits someone after a compact electric SUV with AWD who doesn't need to carry bulky loads every day.
