Incredibly beautiful SUV. The most beautiful one out there in terms of style.
The interior could be a bit more modern... but the seats feel amazing.

Rubbish car.

Features clearly not as polished as other EV SUVs at similar prices (e.g. Volvo EX40 / BYD Sealion 7))

Alarms about driver fatigues every 10 minutes.

Well-built car, reasonably priced — unlike the inflated costs of German cars.

smart #3

The Smart #3 turns the brand's cheeky city-car attitude into a grown-up compact SUV, pairing sleek styling with a surprisingly roomy, well-made interior. It's a brilliant pick for buyers who want electric ease without dullness — practical enough for daily life, but still lively enough to make parking and grocery runs feel a little fun.
