Frequently asked questions

It uses Geely’s NordThor Hybrid 2.0 system, combining a 1.5-liter turbo engine with an electric motor, for a total output of 429 hp.

The article states an electric range of up to 285 km under the CLTC cycle and a combined range of up to 1,810 km. Real-world range figures are not yet known.

It is not yet clear. The article says there are no official details about sales in Europe or other regions.

Manufacturer Smart, previously associated exclusively with compact city cars, has made a decisive move into the larger segment — the brand's first-ever sedan, the Smart #6, has been revealed.

  • Powertrain: NordThor Hybrid 2.0 hybrid from Geely — 1.5-liter turbo engine + electric motor.

  • Total output: 429 hp.

  • Battery: suppliers — CATL or SVOLT; exact capacity not officially disclosed.

  • Electric range: up to 285 km on electric power (CLTC) + combined range up to 1 810 km.

  • Fuel consumption in hybrid mode: about 3.9 l/100 km.

  • Silhouette — fastback, with a smooth roofline, flush door handles and stylish shapes, different from the usual compact Smart models.

  • At the front — an LED "panel" of headlights; at the rear — a full-width light bar.

  • A roof-mounted LiDAR may be present — a sign of modern driver assistance systems.

  • Optional wheels: 19″ - 20″

What this means for the brand

A bold move into a new segment

Smart has traditionally been associated with compact city cars. With the new model the brand is taking a big step — into the sedan segment, which demands higher levels of comfort and performance.

It is not yet clear whether the Smart #6 will leave the Chinese market — there are no official details about sales in Europe or other regions.

Battery capacity is unknown, as are real-world consumption and range figures under typical use.

Hybrid as a compromise

The hybrid format is a sensible compromise between an EV and a conventional car. It allows Smart to offer a balance of efficiency, power and driving range.

New goals — new technologies

LiDAR, light panels, fastback design, roomy dimensions — everything indicates that Smart aims not just at a "city EV" but at a full-fledged modern sedan capable of competing with serious players.

Conclusion

The Smart #6 is a sharp but logical elevation of the brand: from compact city cars to a full modern sedan. The hybrid powertrain, contemporary design and large dimensions give it a chance to attract a new audience. Much will depend on how Smart implements the promised technologies — and how close the real specs will be once sales begin.
