Wind resistance and noise have been significantly optimized, contributing to greater energy efficiency, comfort and driving range. The concealed door handles, the highly effective aerodynamics package, as well as the AGS (Active Grille Shutter) which is equipped as standard, all contribute to elevate aerodynamic performance. Thanks to the “Sensual Producty” design philosophy applied by Mercedes-Benz global design team, the smart #1 features a pure and elegant streamlined exterior, a perfect balance of aesthetics and aerodynamics.

This is especially important, as the drag coefficient is the core factor influencing a vehicle’s energy consumption, range, wind noise and stability at high speed. Here, the smart #1 measured a drag coefficient performance of just 0.29, a top-ranked achievement, especially when compared side by side with SUV competitors in the same segment. The China Automotive Engineering Research Institute in Chongqing features the country’s most advanced automobile aerodynamics testing center and one of the world’s forefront. I am convinced that the smart #1 will enthuse future customers in both China and Europe, setting new trends of urban mobility and co-creating powerful brand experiences wherever it will make an appearance.”ĭesigned by Mercedes-Benz: A Perfect Blend of Aesthetics & Aerodynamics Daniel Lescow, Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing and After-Sales of smart Automobile Co., Ltd., “As the first product set to launch following the brand’s renewal, the smart #1 perfectly combines electric-drive technology and premium quality. Now often used to indicate the hottest topics in social media, the “#” symbol is evocative of trendsetting in the digital era - fitting, because ever since its first production car unveiling at IAA in 1997, smart has been striving for innovation and remained a trendsetter in the automotive industry.Īccording to Mr.

With combination of the “#” symbol followed by a number, smart has defined a recognizable family name for its new generation of all-electric vehicles.
