It's a very well-finished and aesthetically attractive car, very high-performing, but one in which the suspension doesn't match the performance delivered by its engine. In the Core version it has fairly restrained fuel consumption.

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.
