Performance

The Smart #3 Brabus has a maximum power of 315KW (428hp). The total torque is 543nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 3,7 seconds. The top speed is 180 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 66kWh and a net capacity of 62kWh, meaning you have a 4kWh buffer for protection. (6,1%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses NMC technology.

The WLTP range is 415 km (258 mi). The consumption is 14,9kWh/100km for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 150kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 80 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 30 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 5% to 54% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 89kW. Each charge session would take 20 minutes and 29 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 26kWh/100km, 1000km will take 10 hours and 34 minutes to drive. This trip will require seven charge session(s) charging from 5% to 51%. The total time lost for charging will be 135 minutes.

Onboard charger
