Transformed Vehicle Lineup by Brabus: Combining Coupe, Compact SUV, and Sports Car Elements
The Smart #3 Brabus is a high-performance electric compact SUV that sets itself apart from the crowd with its unique features and impressive performance. This vehicle, a variant of the standard Smart #3, boasts a dual electric motor setup, providing four-wheel drive and an impressive 422 bhp.
The four-wheel drive with dual motors delivers 543 Nm of torque, significantly more than the base models' 268 hp[1][3]. This powerful setup allows the Smart #3 Brabus to accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 3.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest in its class[1].
The Smart #3 Brabus also boasts a premium, aerodynamic design that enhances range and efficiency. With a driving range of around 258 miles on a full charge, it offers a balance between range and sporty power output[1].
Inside, the Smart #3 Brabus features a fully-featured interior with luxury touches such as a panoramic sunroof, a large central touchscreen (12.8-inch), a 10-inch head-up display, a Beats sound system, sports seats, and a comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Parking Assist[3][5].
The Brabus version is marketed as a "riotous" performance model with a driver-focused chassis. While it offers quick acceleration and precise steering, it can be a handful if driven aggressively, showcasing its hot-hatch-like dynamic character rather than traditional SUV handling[2].
However, the Smart #3 Brabus is not without its quirks. The Chinese influence is particularly noticeable in the interior design, and some of the assist systems can react harshly in certain situations[4]. The distance pilot could also use a bit of "German Autobahn" finesse in its regulation quality.
Despite these minor shortcomings, the Smart #3 Brabus combines high power, rapid acceleration, premium features, and advanced electric drivetrain technology in a compact electric SUV, offering a unique blend of performance and luxury in the electric vehicle market[1][3][5].
