Smart #5 Pro

The Smart #5 Pro offers more luggage space than most rival SUVs in this comparison. Charging costs are around 2.5p a mile even on the off-peak tariff used here, so weigh running costs alongside practicality.

What owners say: Exceptional interior space with comfortable rear legroom, reclining seats, and 630 litres of boot space. High energy consumption significantly impacts real-world range compared to competitors despite 335-mile WLTP rating.

What Owners Say

Balanced

Owners Love

  • Exceptional interior space with comfortable rear legroom, reclining seats, and 630 litres of boot space
  • Outstanding acceleration (3.8 seconds 0-62mph) and impressive 800V fast charging (10-80% in 18 minutes at optimal conditions)
  • Advanced infotainment with three screens, superb conversational voice control, and premium materials (Alcantara, vegan leather)

Watch Out For

  • High energy consumption significantly impacts real-world range compared to competitors despite 335-mile WLTP rating
  • Design is polarizing and divisive; frequently compared unfavorably to the Nissan Cube with questionable styling details
  • 335-mile WLTP range underwhelming for a 100kWh battery and not class-leading compared to rivals

Owner Tips

  • Test drive the rear-wheel drive base models which offer better steering feel, more dynamic handling, and additional frunk space compared to all-wheel drive variants
  • Visit dealerships in person to confirm driver's seat comfort if over 6 feet tall and test voice assistant behavior to ensure it suits your driving style
  • Check local dealer availability before ordering as Smart sales have stopped at some locations; verify actual charging times at UK infrastructure (expect ~30 minutes rather than advertised 18 minutes)
