All-wheel drive and two 13-inch OLED screens on the front panel
The Smart brand, on the eve of the Beijing Auto Show, presented images of its future Smart #5 SUV. This will be the largest model in the line: dimensions will be 4700 x 2160 x 1870 mm. And considering that we are talking about an electric car with its compact engines, we can assume that the wheelbase will exceed 2850 mm — that is, it will be more than that of the Toyota Camry. Smart #5 will be almost twice as long as the two-seater Smart C 450 — the first model of the brand, launched in 1998.
The designers did a good job on the exterior of the car — Smart #5 looks futuristic. Moreover, this futurism is not divorced from reality: mass production of the car will begin in the second half of this year. Although the commercial vehicle will probably lose some of the elements shown in the concept. For example, additional light and an X-shaped glass roof.
Smart #5 is being touted as «the most versatile Smart of all time». It will have all-wheel drive due to two electric motors and a large traction battery with a capacity of more than 100 kW·h (power reserve — 550 km according to the WLTP measurement method). The 800-volt platform will provide very fast charging — from 10 to 80 percent in 15 minutes.
The cabin will feature a digital instrument panel and two 13-inch OLED screens: one as part of the media system, the other will be at the disposal of the front passenger. «zero gravity seats» and SoC AMD V2000 and Nvidia Drive Orin (the first will be responsible for the graphics of the media system, the second will be used in the autonomous driving system).
