Smart #3 Pro Engine Specs

Since its launch in November 2023, there are nearly 500 Smart cars in Malaysia. Distributor Pro-Net counts on 10 dealers and 11 sales outlets to introduce the Geely-Mercedes-Benz co-owned brand to Malaysia. Of the 11 sales outlets, EON’s sole Smart outlet in Glenmarie stands out because it delivers a disproportionately high number of cars, one in every 5 new Smarts in Malaysia are sold by this one outlet. EON is a household name for any family that bought a Proton in the ‘80s. For better and for

The latest and largest member of the Geely-Mercedes-Benz joint venture brand Smart will make its official debut on 28 August. Dubbed the Smart #5, the new model will introduce an array of new technologies and emphasize that Smart is no longer just about small cars. First unveiled as the Smart Concept #5 in April this year, the Smart #5 will boast advanced technology not seen on the earlier Smart #1 and #3 models, including an 800V electrical architecture for faster charging and a battery size of

Pro-Net (Smart Malaysia) has launched the Smart #3, offering three variants with starting prices at RM 175,000 for the Pro variant, RM 215,000 for the Premium variant, and RM 255,000 for the Brabus variant. The Smart #3 shares several aspects with the Smart #1, including the power outputs of the three variants and the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform developed by Geely. However, the Smart #3 is designed to be sportier, featuring a sloping rear roof design. The Smart #3 Pro vari

Looking at the Smart #3 in person, you might be forgiven for thinking that it is essentially a Smart #1 with a lower roofline. After all, both the #1 and #3 are built on the same platform and share the same power outputs. Smart Malaysia recently invited the Malaysian media to the Proton test track in Shah Alam for an exclusive first look and driving impression of the Smart #3. Two variants of the upcoming battery electric vehicle (BEV) were tested around the track – the Premium and Brabus varian

At yesterday's (Sunday, 21-April 2024) KL Car Free Morning, Smart Malaysia held the first public preview of the upcoming Smart #3 battery electric vehicle (BEV) in the country. The larger sibling to the #1, the #3 is the second model to emerge from the Smart Automobile tie-up between Geely and Mercedes-Benz. Previous reports point that the model is to launch here after China and Europe; development work should be well underway considering the example pictured is right hand drive (RHD). Launch ti

As the launch of the Smart #1 by Pro-Net (Smart Malaysia) draws closer, the company has introduced the Hello Smart app, which integrated a charging map feature that already covers 70% of public charging stations, as well as online car booking and loan application. The Hello Smart app boasts a user-friendly interface with four distinct tabs, each designed to simplify and enrich the digital experience for Smart #1 owners: 1.

Smart will release an enhanced version of its ADAS driving assistance feature in the fourth quarter of this year in an unnamed special edition model (possibly the Smart #3 25th Anniversary Edition model?). Called Smart Pilot Assist 2.0, the enhanced ADAS now adds Navigation Smart Pilot (NSP), which Smart says “will enable gradual implementation of point-to-point automatic navigation on highways and urban trunk roads.” Based on Smart’s description, Pilot Assist 2.0 appears to be an equivalent to

Light the candles and spin some party records as the Smart brand is now all grown up, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. From what started out as a study between watch company Swatch and Mercedes-Benz (Swatch Mercedes ART) to fulfill the gap for a small city car, the brand has revived under Geely's purveyorship and now has two all-electric models – the Malaysia-bound #1 and #3. The occasion is livened by the Smart #3 25th Anniversary Edition, and like most special editions, it comes wit

Munich's IAA Mobility event played host to the global introduction of the all-new, all-electric (EV) Smart #3, following its initial unveiling at Auto Shanghai in April. Though the bulbous genealogy is apparent from the Smart #1, the #3 is equally distinctive with its own elements. The front includes a wide A-shaped grill and slim LED headlights, while the rear has a noticeable spoiler. 19-inch wheels are standard (the Brabus variant gets 20-inch rollers), and a panoramic glass roof is standard.

The Smart #3 EV has received the UNECE R155 cybersecurity and R156 software upgrade VTA E1 certification, becoming the first domestic vehicle in China to achieve this recognition. The certification, issued by the German Ministry of Transport (KBA), signifies that smart's vehicle network security and software upgrade technology adhere to international market regulations, meet the European Union's requirements for new vehicles, and provide technical compliance assurances for the brand's global ope
