"Super large backseat." Uh-huh.
Chris Farley in a little coat...lol.
I love how the people who lead these projects highlight that it’s the team’s accomplishment, not their own.
Yesterday we had a test drive of Tesla M3, My and Smart 1 Premium. in the UK I can get a Premium for half of M3 LR (without adv autopilot). And... to be honest. with HUD, matrix headlamps, fantastic cameras, and a movable rear bench.. this is probably the car I will lease to wait for the polished project Juniper or Polestar 4.
(and yes, type 2 cable fits in the froot. tested it yesterday). 22kW charging is just awesome. sometimes 22kW type 2 chargers are 1/3 of the price of ultra chargers, while you are happy to stop to eat for 90 minutes instead of a crazy fast 20 minutes.
The charging port screams 'technical choice - we want to be compatible with Tesla superchargers'... and this is a great idea.
In EX30 you don't have HUD, matrix, expandable boot, physical buttons... I love the EX30 interior design, and I will have a test drive before the final call, but to be honest, #1 sounds like a very good option
very good audio，very nice to often ask Alissa‘s opinion， and her answer is always to the point. And such a high powered interviewee
As an old guy it will always be the pound 1.
I would say number 1.
Pound would probably be next, but never hashtag.
What is the battery chemistry? I think that Geely still haven't moved to LFP for some reason!
When you were choosing between the 3 routes there was a charging button on the left, maybe that does the route planning?
25:58 I think you have to Click the left Button to add Charging stations on the route
We have since 5 weeks a #1 Brabus. Replaced our 4y old i3s 120ah. What should I say? Works great for all the daily family tours, even longer trips are possible. Software still needs a ton of updates to work 100%, but within this period of 5-6 weeks, there were already 2 updates (OTA). I love driving this car. And good space for the size for 2+2 and a dog.
I really hope that you get the chance to review the Zeekr X, the 001 and the 003 van.
My favorite part of the video is the guys reaction and noise he makes when he steps out of the car at 17 min part of the video 😂
What do mean when you say the graphics look bad? The UI? The pixel density?
Starting to look like where and if you can get your EV serviced is another important buying factor. Some Kia dealers are refusing to do updates or recalls on their EVs if you didn't buy it there. Wrong thing to do, against their franchise agreement, but true and it's happening.
Great point's! Another is any legacy ice oems have 1 or 2 at most so far ev certified tech's only at the certified ev selling dealers.
Those people are almost never available and it's just stupid imo. Whereas tesla has 4-8 fully ev certified tech's per sc location. 👍🏻
I’ve the Brabus coming in a couple of weeks in the UK (same colour) the battery is 62kW usable, matrix led headlights, Real World Range 200 miles. I’ve driven it it’s fast 428 ps 543 Nm torque 0-62 3.9 seconds. Top speed 112 mph. £43,450 in the UK.
Cool Mine is due in 14th September if it really happens, ordered in full black...
@@bournvilleman I should have an idea tomorrow, possibly 18th ??
@@garrycroft4215 good luck
@@bournvilleman I’ve ordered in Manchester. Is yours in Bournville?
I like the design of this, but I like the Smart #3 more because from the side view it reminds me of my previous 2008 Infiniti FX35.
Interesting they are not also launching the #3 at same time. anyway, this is not a bad design and seen quite a few around Shanghai but not as many as you would think as they are quite expensive
We have the MG4 Xpower £7,000 cheaper just as fast but nowhere near as much kit.
@@garrycroft4215 i got Xpeng G3 and paid the same amount as a base #1 for a car which is bigger more versatile. a friend got #1 and with just a few options, he ended up paying the same as a tesla model Y base model.... But he likes his smart so there is that too
I am defiantely into that Smart #3
I've been watching this Smart on Chinese market. Really hope it can make its way to the US
The Smart brand is dead in the US and there are no plans to revive it. A shame because I think this would sell well in the US.
@@fmonk I don't due to the size and the associations Americans have with Smart. Some would sell, but not all that many IMO.
you definitely have to do a full review on the #3!
#3 is my favorite of the new suv’s❤
I wish I could get an ID 3 here in US
Sat in one the other day. The infotainment was ok, tho no android or apple yet. Not really laggy in the settings etc.
Brabus interior is great, the others good but not as special. A brabus lite (brabus design, std power) would be a sweet spot
I've been hearing about this car for almost a year... It feels like is never coming out, so, is it finally out?
Another very informative video. Great to hear about what is a design or a structural feature on a car. I am not interested at all in "pimped" up cars that override poor structural/handling/efficiency qualities.
Would love to see a glossary of tech terminology Kyle, hard to keep up sometimes.
Conversationally engaging.
Volvo EX30 with the bigger battery starts at 40005€ in Germany so it's just a little cheaper than #1. However the smart is also slightly bigger and has slightly more equipment. So they're pretty comparatively priced.
You said it’s the sister to the Volvo EX30, does it share anything with the new Mini Countryman EV?
It's not really a sister. The only sister brand to Volvo is Polestar. This is a car built on the same platform but this is a Mercedes/Geely collab where the EX30 is a Volvo using a Geely supplied platform as its entry-level model.
Looks great, maybe I missed it but any info on the pricing yet?
The Zeekr X is a sister car to this.
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 12/09/2023
A gerrman TH-camr called CarManiac had bought/leased the Smart Brabus for his wife. You can see full driving review at his channel, but it is in german of course. I think Kyle will like it, when he will drive it fast on a nice road. Looking forward to see his thoughts about how it drives.
We had the Volvo XC40 Recharge.....worst EV experience ever. Within 2 months had to have the tCAM replaced twice. The FOBs never worked. We ended up selling it back to the dealer and got the Rivian R1T.
How is this in any way related to this car? I’ve had one for 4 months and it’s been great
Dosent the "hash tag" actually stand for "Number"?
They going to release a new Smart Fortwo in 2025 (#2)
I’m a BIG fan of Smart! I think this is a smart way for the brands future to have a bigger car that can be able to keep the brand making money ❤
both smart 1 and zeekr X have 100 mm longer whellbase than EX30, about the same price.
Is this the designer of the EQS? I hope you advised him in private to rethink some of the recent design language at MB unless their goal has been to design for ugly
The EQS is ok everything taken into consideration. Like the EQE you need the right package/rim to get the best of it.
Great looking vechile. Range is a problem
I sold my #1 Brabus again after owning it for 4 months. OBC replaced, charging still having issues, AC mainly. Seats squeaking after 500km, Software is a patchwork nightmare, not German quality any more. It’s a Chinese car with some well know names attached (Smart, Brabus and Beats).
As a daily driver it drove me nuts …
I simply love to watch my two fav EV-reviewers making Europe "unsafe",, 💖🌟💖🌟💖
How are they doing that?
@@jamespaul2587 Google "figure of speech"
When will Tesla finally add a HUD? A little bit at the very least. It should be on the performance here we
No for me. When placed on “fart mode” all 4 windows have to drop down completely/fully 😂
Back end is 100% Ford Escort ZX2
Did you see the ID.X Performance concept based on ID.7? 411 kW system power and 0-100 in 3.5 s to beat the Brabus Smart #1 and #3 😅
Yes, he has Seen it in switzerland - but it wont come anyways
The smart#1&3 actually exist though. That vw id.x concept doesn't! 👍🏻
will it come to the usa it looks awesome and perfect for a single guy
It should and they could sell&service it at the merc dealer's already here who used to sell smart branded car's.
They won't though imo over the very low epa rated range, still slow charging, us crash test standards and 27% import tariff.
yeah i am excited for ex 30 from volvo i drive a mach e @@4literv6
@@SamuraiTacos1 nice, what do you think the real world specs and pricing will be for the ex30 over here?
Whenever it arrives allegedly next summer.
My guess is nearer to 40k for the base rwd trim and 250 or less miles of epa rated range. Based on wltp range of 270 and wltp to epa is 10-20% worse in most evs I've seen rated for sale.
Loaded awd trims will push near to 50k and 240 or less miles of epa range. The crazy off road spec will be over 50k&220 miles of range.
@@4literv6 i think it's 34,950 msrp for awd dual motor you can reserve it for 500 dollars. then probably after tax and mark ups it's probably 53,000 dollars maybe
@@4literv6 i'm from the usa 🇺🇸 not sure what it will be in europe but i love how nice small compact i wish europe ev manufacturers bring smaller cars to usa not everyone wants a suv or truck some people are single and don't have a family
The EQS sold more than Model S in America though....
If only I could understand why all the old car manufacturers insist on making cars that try to compete with a Tesla car. Don't they realize, that Tesla is so far ahead, that they will never catch up?
At "1:13 - Specs / Pricing / Initial Tour" you promised pricing, but I never found the pricing part. Where did you mention the price?
The only segment left to the old, dying car industry is the low-cost segment, so why don't they focus on that segment, before Tesla goes there and takes over that segment as well? Crazy!
If EX30 can enter US market, I think Smaty #1 can as well. I guess with the tension right now between America and China, Geely is the only Chinese brand that can enter American market. The relationship with Volvo, or like the Smart, covdevelopment with Mercedes
Volvo is in the USA as Volvo, the Swedish brand, not Geely. The EX30 will be just another Volvo sold in the USA. Smart used to be sold in the USA but I think Mercedes could bring them back as a brand if they wanted to.
Volvo is a Chinese-owned brand, not a Chinese brand. But there is also Polestar, a spinoff of Volvo that is sold in the USA as well as Lotus, the British performance car brand that is also owned by Geely (actually ZGH) and is sold in the USA.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Volvo is a Chinese owned brand, right. But my point is Volvo's, Lotus' evs including Ex30 Polestars and Electre all use Geely's technology, the SEA platform.
@@rl1293 Volvo's EX90 does not use the SEA platform. It uses the SPA2 platform. Polestars 3 also uses the SPA2 platform. The Polestar 4 uses the SEA platform and the Polestar 5 and 6 will use a different platform. Lotus modified the SEA platform on their cars. Not yet known is what future Volvos will use. The MPV will use the SEA platform and be close to the Zeekr009 in size and framewoork.
But Volvo is doing a lot of things and headed forward that are on their own (but will include Polestar). They are writing their own software. They are working on their own motors. They are going to use Northvolt batteries.
There are some shared Geely tech that Volvo or Polestar will use on some cars, and other tech that will be used exclusively for Volvo and Polestar. I don't know Lotus as well but they too will used some shared Geely Group tech but some of their tech will be what their teams develop for their brand.
It more like $ 50.000.00 dollars in European Euros base .
upvoted!
Isn't the name Smart number one, rather than hashtag?
Nice but definitely overpriced, like most these days.
great video Kyle! I gotta say I can not stand designer speak. They talk like modern art "artist" just as bad as lawyers of describing something in the most roundabout and grandiose way and not really saying anything at all.
When we get a dozen or two battery electric vehicles like these available for sale in the United States, then I'll start thinking about how I'll still never be able to charge one at home, and I still won't likely be able to afford this one, either. "No sale." Out of Spec should really be establishing a presence in China, which seems to be the only country on the entire planet capable of producing battery electric vehicles that perhaps half of the population of THIS country could possibly afford. Never even minding the rest of the 8 billion humans on this planet. Too expensive and billions of people can't charge these things at home equals "NOT an electric revolution."
I like the EX30 exterior more. But this smart #1 car has larger space for back seats...um..
Yeah agree the ex30 is a nicer outside, but I sat in one of these and I really like the interior
It's neither small nor Smart. I'll applaud Smart when they actually return to and improve the ForTwo, ForFour and Roadster.
I expected Geely to be competent at that.
The pronunciation of the name is so stupid. For a moment I was going to comment how you must be using the # wrong because that doesn't make sense, but I just looked it up and nope: calling it "Hashtag One" rather than the proper "Number One" is exactly the intent from smart. I feel like smart's marketing team is made up of young kids that think a floppy disk is a 3D printing of the "save file" icon
It’s clearly not for you, nothing wrong with that
@@RudyOMP nothing about my comment says the car isn't for me. A critique of the name is not a critique of the suitability of the car.
They finally produce vehicles that would be attractive to U.S. customers but we can’t get them.
It costs more than a M3 standard in CH… like why would I pay that much for a microcar made in china?
Find it hard to believe those Brabus nostrils have zero impact on aerodynamics.
EX30 is a smaller car so this should be roomier.
I can't believe people actually want a giant screen practically at eye level. The only reason I've kept my current vehicle is that I can turn the (small) screen completely off and still be able to control most features with button and dials elsewhere. Really unhappy with this design trend. The occasional times I need nav I get all the necessary instructions through the HUD.
And it‘s also a completely buggy mess. Would not buy this right now, even if the price is ok
Ugghh. Yet another automaker that doesn't get the dash/nav experience. I will never buy a car with such a laggy UI. It's so refreshing using the Ryzen based APU in my Model Y.
This is not a smart Smart.
Another "too little car, too much money" EV.
Don't you say Smart number 1.
Nope! Hashtag is the official way to say it haha
Should just shorten it to smart 1. What car is yours? Oh it's the smart 1. 😀
I don't like seeing "Made In China" take over the auto industry as well.
I don't like it
Cars not coming to the USA are kind of like concept cars, why do you think we would be interested in this. It seems you are just trying to do videos to get clicks. Very disappointed in your choice
Sorry that the world is much larger. 😉
Not all of us watching are in the US.
