2025 Smart #1 and #3: Electric SUVs priced for Australia

Smart’s Australian distributor has locked in local pricing and specifications for the brand’s return, detailing its two electric models.

LSH Auto, Australia’s largest Mercedes-Benz retailer, will sell the Smart #1 and #3 across outlets in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane from September, offering three variants of each electric SUV.

Both the Smart #1 and Smart #3 will be sold in three guises: Pro+, Premium and Brabus.

Despite the Smart #3 being slightly larger than the Smart #1 – measuring 4.4m long compared to its 4.27m long sibling – the two models share electric drivetrains.

The Smarts also share their drivetrains and platform with the Volvo EX30, however the latter provides greater claimed driving range for a slightly higher price – ranging from $390 to $7390 in difference.

Details on Australian features are limited, however LSH Auto has confirmed the following equipment will be included on both models:

The Smart #1 Pro+ and Smart #3 Pro+ are fitted as standard with:

• 19-inch wheels
• LED headlights
• Panoramic roof
• 12.8-inch infotainment screen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Powered tailgate

• Beats 640W sound system
• Heat pump 
• Automatic parking assist
• 10-inch head-up display

Smart #1 Brabus and Smart #3 Brabus grades gain:

LSH Auto is due to release more details about the Smart range closer to its September 2024 local launch.
