About Smart #1 Pure+

Overview

The Smart #1 Pure+ is a chic compact electric SUV that blends Mercedes-Benz design flair with electric performance. Priced from €39,990, it delivers rear-wheel drive, a generous 62 kWh battery, and a premium feel in a compact package—making it a stylish, practical, and fun choice for eco-minded city drivers.

What’s New for 2025?

As production continues into its first full year, the Pure+ now pairs its rear-wheel-drive setup with the larger 62 kWh battery once reserved for higher trims, extending range and performance. Expect the latest infotainment updates and minor equipment tweaks, but no major redesigns yet.

Design & Exterior

With its smooth, pebble-like shape, flush handles, and bold LED signatures, the Smart #1 Pure+ looks like a concept car on the road. At 4,270 mm long and 1,822 mm wide, it balances city agility with road presence.

Interior & Tech

Inside, it feels airy and premium, seating five comfortably. Cargo space runs from 323 L to 986 L with seats folded, plus a 15 L frunk. A large central touchscreen with smartphone integration dominates the minimalist cabin.

Performance

Powered by a 200 kW motor and 343 Nm torque, the Pure+ hits 100 km/h in 6.7 s. Agile and comfortable, it offers multiple regen modes for efficiency and an engaging rear-drive feel.

Range & Charging

Its 62 kWh battery provides ~357 km real-world range. Charging is quick: 10–80% in ~30 min on 150 kW DC, or a full charge in ~3 h with the 22 kW onboard AC charger.

Safety

Backed by a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, the Pure+ includes key driver assists like emergency braking, lane-keeping, and traffic sign recognition, making it a family-friendly pick.

Warranty

Expect ~3 years for the vehicle and 8 years/160,000 km for the battery (to 70% capacity). Details vary locally, but Smart’s Geely/Mercedes partnership inspires confidence in long-term reliability.

The “long distance suitability” is a 5-star rating indicating how suitable a vehicle is for long trips. It’s based on the 1-Stop Range: total distance with one 15-minute DC fast-charging stop.

2025 thresholds:

  • 0 <200 km;
  • 1 200–325;
  • 2 325–450;
  • 3 450–575;
  • 4 575–700;
  • 5 >700 km.
  • Half-stars are assigned by linear interpolation.

1-Stop Range Definition 🔋

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

  • Begin with a fully charged battery
  • Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
  • Perform a 15-minute fast charge
  • Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

  • Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
  • No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
  • The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
  • The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

5-Star Rating Definition ★

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

  •  0 less than 200 km
  •  from 200 km to 325 km
  • ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
  • ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
  • ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
  • ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%) ⚡

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
