Smart #2 is available for pre-order starting at just over 20,000 euros.
The new Smart #2 made its debut in Paris at the beginning of the week, and now the manufacturer has opened pre-order bookings. The compact two-seater electric vehicle is available for reservation in four trim levels, with base prices ranging from 19,990 to 25,690 euros.
The Smart #2 can be placed in firm orders starting October 13 in several European countries, including key markets such as Germany, France, and Italy. “Customers who place pre-orders have the opportunity to secure their Smart #2 even before its full market launch in 2027,” says the manufacturer. The actual e-commerce launch is scheduled for the first half of 2027.
The new Smart #2 is available in four trim levels: Pure, Pure+, Premium, and Couture Edition – with the Pure version starting at the price of 19,990 euros, as announced during its world premiere. As pre-orders open, Smart has also finalized the prices for the other trims. The #2 Pure+ will cost 20,990 euros, the #2 Premium 24,490 euros, and the #2 Couture Edition 25,690 euros. However, the latter is limited to 999 units in Europe, according to Smart. All prices listed apply to the German market and may vary in other target markets.
In their basic structure, the four models differ little: the new Smart #2 is approximately 2.79 meters long and retains key features of the previous Fortwo, including its two seats, two doors, and wheels positioned far outward. Its top speed is 140 km/h. Power is provided by an electric motor with a capacity of 60 kW mounted on the rear axle, combined with a 35.7 kWh LFP battery using CATL cells. All variants have a range of 290 km according to WLTP standards.
Naturally, there are differences in terms of the range of features and charging capacity. The base Pure model supports only 7.4 kW AC charging, while the other variants offer the standard 11 kW AC charging. According to the specifications, it takes the Pure five hours instead of three to charge from 10% to 80%. However, there are no differences in DC charging capacity. All #2 models support up to 65 kW DC charging, allowing them to reach 80% SoC from 10% in under 20 minutes thanks to their relatively small batteries.

Smart lists key features of the entry-level version as a keyless access system, a V2L charging function, and several driver assistance systems. The Smart #2 Pure+, which is only slightly more expensive, adds the aforementioned 11-kW AC charging, a heated driver’s seat, and additional assistance systems. The #2 Premium, priced significantly higher, comes standard with a fixed glass roof, synthetic leather seats, and a Sennheiser sound system with seven speakers. It also offers more color combinations to choose from. The limited #2 Couture Edition features Atelier White Matt paint with a Platinum Gold roof, along with other exclusive features such as 16-inch wheels.
The #2 is planned to be produced initially in China, from where it will be exported to Europe among other destinations. The technical foundation of this new two-seater electric vehicle is the newly developed Electric Compact Architecture, or ECA. This architecture enables a curb weight of 1,140 kg and a payload capacity of 205 kg in the #2. Smart states that the trunk volume behind the two seats is 305 liters. The manufacturer specifies dimensions of 2.75 x 1.76 x 1.56 meters, with a wheelbase of 1.88 meters. Smart offers a three-year warranty on the vehicle itself, along with a special eight-year or 200,000 km warranty on the battery, ensuring it still retains 70 percent of its SoH at that point.
Remo Guthauser, Sales Director Europe at Smart Europe, comments: Since we announced the smart #2, we’ve seen an exceptionally high level of excitement among our community. Even before an official pre-order date was set, smart fans reached out to our dealers to find out when they could place orders for the new two-seater. Now we can offer the many two-seater enthusiasts in Europe who have been waiting so long the opportunity to reserve one of the first units of the smart #2.
