Comments

This Index is based on a Well-to-Wheel+ approach, meaning that the GHG emissions related to the supply of the energy are added to those of the tailpipe. The vehicle's production is not yet included in the assessment due to the implicit limitations of generic data about global supply chains. As the smart #3 is purely electric, its GHG emissions originate only from electricity supply – ca. 53‑95 g CO2‑eq./km, depending on the test consumption.

Our verdict

The new smart vehicles which are manufactured in China are newcomers to the European market and arrive with a range of attractive electric models in the compact and subcompact segment. Tested here is the smart #3 – a compact SUV with a maximum power of 200 kW and a declared battery capacity of 65 kWh. The mass of the empty vehicle is 1,780 kg. The measured test consumption values are creditable and the vehicle shows good comfort for the passengers in cold and warm environment in its default “comfort” driving mode. A PTC-heater is used for cabin heating, while better-equipped variants come with an additional heat pump. For the battery capacity test the vehicle was charged with 11 kW charging power. With 68.2 kWh, the measured usable battery capacity surpasses the declared figure of 65 kWh, and it should be noted that the manufacturer states the available battery capacity depends on the charging speed. A full battery recharge takes 77.2 kWh from the electricity grid, which results in a reasonable grid-to-battery output efficiency of 88.4 %. Overall, the smart #3 finishes with an Average Score of 95%, easily collects all 5 Green Stars and challenges the popular EV brands in the European market.
