The evolution of an all-new smart #2

September 4, 2025

Premium electric automotive brand, smart, has announced that an-all new, two-seater city car, the smart #2, is in development.

Evolution of the smart #2

Building on the rich heritage of the iconic fortwo, the new model will extend smart’s award-winning product portfolio, providing a stylish, efficient and innovative vehicle for the A-segment.

The all-electric two-seater model will feature cutting-edge EV technology while evolving core qualities of the original smart fortwo. The international debut of the #2 is planned for late 2026 with Europe a key market for the car.

Styled by the Mercedes-Benz Design team, the vehicle will feature new technology for the segment that was established by the original smart fortwo 27 years ago. The smart #2 will be produced in China and is currently in the final design and development phase.
