On January 19, the new smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Edition was officially launched with a price of 249,000 yuan (34620$). The new smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Edition, as a personalized small car targeting young and fashionable consumers, is based on the original model and has been customized in terms of appearance, interior, and color, providing consumers with more options to ensure their personalized needs.
In terms of appearance, the all-new smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Edition still maintains the design style of the existing model, but has made many changes in many details, including the use of a new sporty surround and a more aggressive hood, and the use of high-gloss black and red decorative colors on the front bumper, adding a lot of sporty atmosphere to the car.
The changes in the headlight group are not significant. It still adopts the continuous headlight design, resembling a drop of water. This not only makes the entire vehicle look more streamlined, but also fully utilizes the design advantage, widening the width of the body and adding a sense of strength to the front of the car.
The overall shape of the car’s side has not changed much. The car’s dimensions are 4400x1844x1556mm, with a wheelbase of 2785mm. The vehicle will continue to be equipped with frameless doors and concealed door handles. The new car will use a new white color scheme, with red accents on the rearview mirrors and door sills.
The new car will use 19-inch luxury commemorative edition wheel design, which looks more exquisite and stylish. It is matched with 245/45 R19 tires to effectively balance the comfort and maneuverability of the vehicle. Whether on highways or city roads, driving is very comfortable and effortless.
The design of the rear of the car remains consistent with the existing models, with a continuous tail light group that has a slightly smoked effect and a sleek trunk design, giving the car a sense of power. The rear wing also features a red border accent style, giving it a personalized look.
Compared to other models, I personally really like the rear bumper design of the smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Commemorative Edition. It not only uses high-gloss black and red decorative strips, but the rear spoiler has also been redesigned, giving it a very sporty look that many young consumers love.
In terms of interior, the overall design style of the new smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Commemorative Edition has not changed, but compared to the existing models’ color schemes, the new car’s white + black color scheme appears younger and more fashionable, plus the red stitching and trim accents add a lot of sporty attributes to the car. As a commemorative edition model, the car will be equipped with a dazzling starry sky panorama, also adding to the atmosphere inside the car.
The sports flat-bottom steering wheel also retains the existing model’s chessboard matrix design style, with black leather and red stitching, both visually and tactilely, the overall performance is very good. The multifunction buttons on the steering wheel are all physical buttons, which makes operation more convenient and reduces the possibility of misoperation. The new car will continue to be equipped with a 9.2-inch full LCD instrument panel, which can display a lot of driving information, and will be paired with a 10-inch full-color head-up display, making driving safer and allowing the driver to see the relevant information of the vehicle at the first time.
The central control screen is the same as the existing models, with a 12.8-inch screen. The smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Commemorative Edition uses a commemorative theme, adding a sense of commemoration to the model. The overall operation of the car system is smooth, and the UI design is very user-friendly and easy to understand. The car system uses the popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, supporting practical functions such as online entertainment, online navigation, phone connectivity, voice interaction, and 360-degree panoramic imaging. The technology and intelligence are well reflected, with the ability to remotely control the vehicle through a mobile app, including keyless entry, car sharing, smart car search, and travel booking.
The new car will be equipped with multiple safety features and an L2 level intelligent driving assistance system, including ACC adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, lane departure warning, lane change assistance, highway assistance, traffic jam assistance, door opening warning, rear collision warning, etc., to fully protect the safety of our passengers and make high-speed driving easier and simpler.
The design of the central passage position has not changed much, still with two storage spaces front and back, meeting our daily car use needs. The design of the air conditioning vents has not changed, but the addition of new red elements, including the three middle vents and the two side vents, also meets the needs of young users.
The new car’s seats have undergone significant changes, with the addition of red stitching to the black and white color scheme, maintaining consistency with the overall interior design. The front seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, electric adjustment, memory functions, and overall comfort is very high. Additionally, the car also features red seat belts, reflecting its sporty nature.
In terms of power, the smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Commemorative Edition will be equipped with a rear single motor, with a maximum power of 200kW, a maximum output torque of 343N·m, an official zero to one hundred acceleration time of 5.4s, and a CLTC range of up to 580km, and supports fast charging, with a fast charging time of only 30 minutes from 10-80%. Summary: As a 25th anniversary commemorative edition model, the smart #3 25th Anniversary Starry Sky Commemorative Edition has no significant changes in power, but the changes in appearance, interior, and other aspects are quite noticeable. The overall appearance uses the commemorative edition kit and adds an all-white color scheme. The interior also adds optional white interior space, and more importantly, both the interior and exterior are accented with red, which is very consistent with the cognition and aesthetics of young consumers.
