smart finally unveiled its first electric SUV in Germany: smart #1. The subcompact SUV is designed by Mercedes-Benz, but based on Geely‘s SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform. Geely and Mercedes both hold 50% stake in the German compact car brand smart. This model is the first vehicle that smart unveiled after Geely bought half of the smart shares from Mercedes in 2019.
smart #1 uses the same underpinnings as the Zeekr 001, which is an EV-dedicated Chinese brand wholly owned by Geely. The production of the smart 1 will also be held at Geely’s manufacturing facility in China.
