After several months of being shown to the public and also to the global market, Smart Malaysia through Pro-Net has finally announced that bookings for their latest electric car model, the Smart #5, are now open. By paying only RM 2,000, you can book the Smart #5 which seems to be on sale soon.
The Smart #5 is an electric car from Smart, and is their third offering for the local market, after the Smart #1 and Smart #3. In terms of design, it looks different from the two versions offered before with a different design like a 'box', and may return to the unique features found in the previous Smart. In terms of performance, this is also the first Smart to be equipped with an 800V charging architecture, allowing charging from 10-80% in 15 minutes despite having a battery of 100 kWh with a travel distance of more than 500km. As for the Brabus version, it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and has a smaller frunk size than the Premium version because it has all-wheel drive.
If the Smart #1 is present in the hatchback class and the Smart #3 in the coupe class, the Smart #5 clearly wants to challenge other D-class electric SUVs in the local market, such as the Volvo EX90, Tesla Model Y, or Kia EV9. There are two versions of the Smart #5 that will be offered in Malaysia, namely the Premium and Brabus versions. For those of you who are interested in booking it, you can also make a reservation via the Hello Smart application, apart from visiting the nearest official dealer.
