New Smart #2 Electric City Car: Price, Range and Specs

Smart has unveiled its new #2 electric vehicle, measuring just 2.74 meters long with a starting price under 20,000 euros in France, according to reporting by frandroid.com. The tiny two-seater marks a return to the brand’s original Fortwo format after years of producing larger SUVs like the #1, #3, and #5.

Paris World Premiere Sets October 2026 Order Date

The vehicle made its world premiere in Paris, bringing back the signature two-door, two-seat configuration under three meters in length. Orders open on October 13, 2026, with a large-scale commercial launch scheduled for the first half of 2027. Measuring precisely 2.74 meters long (up to 2.76 meters depending on certain configurations) with a 1.55-meter height and a wheelbase of only 1.875 meters, the #2 matches the footprint of the discontinued Fortwo while adopting a dedicated electric vehicle platform called ECA. The platform features a sophisticated five-link rear suspension and a new evolution of the safety cell called Tridion Evo, designed to protect the occupants and battery.

Thirty-Eight Kilowatt Hours Deliver Two Hundred Ninety Kilometers

Powering the rear wheels is a 60-kilowatt motor producing 82 horsepower and 130 Newton-meters of torque, yielding a 0 to 100 kilometers per hour time of 11.6 seconds and a top speed limited to 140 kilometers per hour. Energy comes from a 35.8-kilowatt-hour CATL battery pack, keeping the empty weight down to 1,140 kilograms. frandroid.com reported that despite the small battery capacity, the #2 targets a WLTP mixed-cycle range of 290 kilometers based on a consumption figure of 13.6 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers, though this figure remains provisional as European homologation is not yet complete.

Twenty-Minute Fast Charging Supports Urban Mobility

Standard equipment includes DC fast charging capable of a 10 to 80 percent replenishment in 20 minutes under optimal conditions using a 65-kilowatt peak rate. AC charging varies by trim level, offering a 7.4-kilowatt single-phase charger on the Pure version and an 11-kilowatt three-phase option on higher specifications. Urban maneuverability is aided by a 6.95-meter turning circle.

Four Trim Levels Shape French Market Pricing

The French lineup spans four distinct versions, opening at 19,990 euros for the Pure and rising to 20,990 euros for the Pure+. The Premium trim costs 24,490 euros and introduces a fixed panoramic roof, synthetic leather seats, and a seven-speaker Sennheiser audio system, while a limited Couture Edition tops the range at 25,690 euros. Because production takes place in China, frandroid.com noted that the vehicle is ineligible for the French CEE ecological bonus, placing it in direct competition with European alternatives like the Renault Twingo E-Tech, Dacia Spring, and Citroën ë-C3.
