Smart’s New City EV Is Already Off To A Great Start

The Smart car had a pretty short life in the United States, especially when it comes to the two-door electric model. However, over in Europe, the two-door urban runabout has become something of an icon, and can often be seen in the busy streets of major cities.

Now, though, there’s a new two-door Smart EV, which harks back to the original ForTwo EQ, but significantly improves on its predecessor’s spec sheet. And to the company’s surprise, the first batch of the new Smart #2 is also proving quite successful, with order books already full.

I’m talking about the limited-run Smart #2 Couture Edition, which kicked off sales of the diminutive EV in Europe. Limited to just 999 units, the two-tone version of the bug-eyed city car is already sold out in all of the countries where it was available, signaling that Europeans are interested in Smart’s modern reinterpretation of the car that started it all.

To be clear, the Smart #2 in its regular trims can still be ordered and probably won’t be sold out anytime soon. But for a car that can only seat two and has a WLTP-rated range of just 180 miles (290 kilometers), it’s a pretty solid start.

The #2 Couture Edition is based on the top Premium trim and comes standard with a glass roof, ambient lighting, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a Sennheiser audio system, and a wireless charging pad for smartphones. On top of that, the exterior is painted in an exclusive Atelier White Matt color with a Platinum Gold roof.
