Smart #2 debuts in Paris as Couture Edition launches in China

Smart, a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely Auto (HKEX: 0175), has launched the Smart #2 Couture Edition, bringing its signature 2-seater city car back as an all-new electric model.

Smart China announced on Monday that the Smart #2 Couture Edition had officially launched at a retail price of 112,999 yuan ($16,790), with 999 units available in China.

The production Smart #2 made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show today. Its market roll-out will follow, starting with early ordering in Europe and China.

The Couture Edition will also be limited to 999 units in Europe, according to Smart's English-language press release, with separate allocations for the 2 markets.

China will receive the Premium and Couture Edition variants. Chinese pricing for the Premium version will be announced in November.

The Smart #2 succeeds the classic ForTwo 2-seater city car. Styled by the Mercedes-Benz global design Team, it is built on the Electric Compact Architecture (ECA), a platform developed specifically for ultra-compact electric vehicles.

The Couture Edition pairs a matte white body with a gold roof and features gold detailing, exclusive 16-inch wheels and a numbered commemorative badge to emphasize its distinctive positioning.

Inside, the car features bench-style seating and an S-shaped cockpit. It also retains a split tailgate, whose lower section folds down to serve as a seat when parked, supporting up to 120 kg.

8-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with cells supplied by CATL (HKEX: 3750), delivering a CLTC range of 410 km.
