Smart 1 2024 Accessories
The entry-level #1 cars score 19-inch alloys, a panoramic roof, LED lighting, a powered tailgate and a 12.8-inch central screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 9.2-inch digital dashboard. There’s wireless device charging and a decent stereo, too. The Premium then adds matrix headlights, leather trim, a huge head-up display and a better Beats stereo, while the Brabus scores a unique interior and exterior treatment, better suspension, and a launch control function.
Smart 1 2024 Interior
Inside the #1 presents as a properly premium-feeling EV space that’s swimming with technology and lovely cabin materials. A letterbox-style screen replaces the traditional dashboard.
Smart 1 2024 Boot Space
Pop the Smart #1's auto-opening boot (by hitting the ‘a’ in the ‘Smart’ lettering, which I couldn’t figure out without help) and you’ll find 323 litres of space with the back seat as far back as it goes, growing to 411 litres with it pushed all the way forward. There’s also a 15-litre frunk.
Smart 1 2024 Seats
Smart says its five-seat #1 SUV has Mercedes-Benz E-Class levels of space in the back seat despite its diminutive footprint. It’s a big claim, and while I didn’t break out the tape measure myself, I can say the back seat felt plenty generous, and because the rear pew slides forwards or backwards by 15cm, you can choose whether you want more legroom, or more luggage space.
Smart 1 2024 Speed
Single motor versions of the Smart #1 knock off the sprint to 100km/h in 6.7 seconds. The Brabus, though, adds a motor at the front axle, dropping the sprint to 100km/h to 3.9 seconds. Top speed for all models is listed as 180km/h.
Smart 1 2024 Towing capacity
The Smart 1 has maximum towing capacity of 1600kg. Some models also offer heavy-duty or towing option packs which can increase towing capacity, as well as options which can hamper towing capacity. Towing capacities can vary wildly on a large number of factors. These include engine, transmission, model, and options chosen. Always check with the manufacturer or in your vehicles handbook before attempting to tow anything.
