Performance
The Smart #5 Brabus packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 475 kW (646 hp / 637 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 710 Nm (524 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph), making it a standout in its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 94.0 kWh, providing a 6.0 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 540 km (336 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 17.4 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 400 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 31 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 14 minutes with an average charging speed of 276 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 66%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 215 kW, with each charging session taking about 16 minutes and 1 seconds. This exceptionally fast charging capability makes the Smart #5 Brabus one of the most efficient and convenient EVs for long-distance travel.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 4 minutes, needing three charging stops from 5% to 61%, totaling 44 minutes of charging time.
