Get ready to be amazed! Smart is about to launch its biggest model yet, the #6 EHD plug-in hybrid sedan, boasting an incredible 1,810 km combined range! That's right, you could practically drive across a country without stopping for fuel. Let's dive into the details.
Following a sneak peek from the Chinese MIIT, Smart has unveiled official images and key specs for the #6 EHD. This beauty is powered by Geely's NordThor Hybrid 2.0 technology, delivering a whopping 320 kW (429 hp) of system power. This impressive output comes from a combination of a 120 kW (161 hp) 1.5T engine and an electric motor, all working together with a 3-speed DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission).
But here's where it gets interesting: the #6 EHD offers a pure electric range of 285 km, and a fuel consumption as low as 3.9L/100km. The battery, a lithium iron phosphate type, is supplied by either SVOLT or CATL, although the exact capacity remains a mystery for now.
For a bit of context, consider the Smart #5 EHD, which already packs a punch with its 320 kW combined power, featuring a similar 1.5T engine and a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor, also paired with a 3-speed DHT.
Size matters, and the Smart #6 EHD doesn't disappoint. It measures 4906/1922/1508 mm, with a wheelbase of 2926 mm – the longest in Smart's lineup. This translates to a spacious and comfortable ride.
Design-wise, the #6 EHD is a head-turner. The sporty vibe is emphasized by the vibrant yellow exterior paint, matching yellow brake calipers, a sleek sloping roofline, and an electrically adjustable rear wing. The front features a continuous light bar and a black grille, giving it a modern and aggressive look. Plus, a lidar on the roof hints at advanced driving assistance features. Side cameras and hidden door handles add to the car's futuristic appeal.
And this is the part most people miss... While the interior design is still under wraps, expect a digital smart cockpit, complete with a large central control screen and an AI voice assistant.
