Design features of the concept include LED lighting elements incorporating "#2" graphics, concealed door handles, a closed front grille, and a floating roof design.[1]
Smart stated that the model is expected to offer a driving range of approximately 300 km (186 mi), support vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, and allow charging from 10 to 80 percent in under 20 minutes.[1] The production model is also expected to retain a rear-wheel-drive layout and feature a more spacious two-seat interior.
