About the Smart #5 Brabus

The smart #5 BRABUS is the performance flagship of the smart #5 range, transforming the brand’s largest SUV into a high-performance electric powerhouse. Developed in partnership with BRABUS, the model combines aggressive styling, supercar-like acceleration and cutting-edge charging technology, creating a compelling alternative to premium performance EVs such as the Tesla Model Y Performance and Porsche Macan Electric.

Powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 646 hp (475 kW) and 710 Nm of torque, the smart #5 BRABUS delivers astonishing performance. The SUV accelerates from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 3.8 seconds while maintaining everyday practicality and comfort. Top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph (210 km/h).

The vehicle is equipped with a 94 kWh usable battery (100 kWh gross), delivering up to 540 km (336 miles) WLTP range. Despite its high performance output, the large battery pack ensures strong long-distance capability, making it suitable for both spirited driving and family journeys.

One of the standout features is its advanced 800-volt architecture, supporting up to 400 kW DC ultra-rapid charging. Under ideal conditions, charging from 10% to 80% can take as little as 18 minutes, placing it among the fastest-charging electric SUVs currently available.

Inside, the smart #5 BRABUS features a premium, technology-focused cabin with distinctive BRABUS design touches. The spacious five-seat interior combines advanced infotainment, high-quality materials and extensive equipment levels. Practicality remains impressive with a 630-litre boot and additional 47-litre front trunk.

Built on a dedicated EV platform, the smart #5 BRABUS balances performance, technology and everyday usability. Its combination of dramatic styling, exceptional power and ultra-fast charging makes it one of the most exciting electric SUVs currently entering the European market.
