Overview
The 2026 smart #3 Pro+ is a five-seat electric SUV with rear-wheel drive and a single-speed automatic. It's priced from $52,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs are added. You get a 66kWh battery with a claimed 435km of WLTP range, and DC fast charging peaks at 150kW. The boot is a bit tight with the seats up at 370 litres, though it opens up to 1,160 litres with the rear seats folded, and it's rated to tow 1,600kg braked. It suits someone after a five-seat electric SUV with decent range who doesn't need to carry heaps of gear every day.

AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.

⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.
Manufacturer-published figures, shown as a guide. Not independently verified and may vary by variant, trim, tyre or model year. Vehicle drawings are schematic and ride-height differences are exaggerated for legibility. Confirm with the manufacturer before relying on them for off-road planning.
Child seats and anchors
ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.
Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.
Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

The 2026 smart #3 BRABUS is a 5-seat electric SUV with all-wheel drive and a single-speed automatic. It's $65,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Range is 415km (WLTP) from a 66kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 150kW. The boot is 370 litres with the seats up, so it's a bit tight for bulky gear until you fold the rear seats for 1,160 litres. It suits someone after an electric SUV with all-wheel drive and a 3.7-second claimed 0-100km/h time who doesn't need a big boot every day.
