Smart #1
Smart #1 Pure
The Smart #1 Pure is among the more affordable SUVs in this comparison. Its boot is smaller than those of most rival SUVs, so check luggage space alongside the price and range.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 90% of its battery health, roughly 210 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Owners describe a comfortable, quiet and planted drive, with a premium, well-built interior. Early cars often had sticky or faulty pop-out door handles, fixed under warranty.

What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Owners describe a comfortable, quiet and planted drive, with a premium, well-built interior.
- Generous standard equipment for the money, including a glass roof, 360-degree cameras and, on Premium and BRABUS, a clear head-up display and Beats audio.
- The BRABUS is very fast, and even the single-motor car feels quick.
Watch Out For
- Early cars often had sticky or faulty pop-out door handles, fixed under warranty.
- Some early cars developed a hum from the rear axle bearings or motor mounts, fixed with new parts under warranty.
- The Hello Smart app is widely criticised as unreliable, asking for repeated log-ins and showing wrong data.
Owner Tips
- Check every door handle works properly on a test drive.
- Listen for humming from the rear at speed and ask whether bushes or bearings have been replaced.
- Make sure the latest software is installed; it improves regen, adds phone mirroring and fixes bugs.
