Today, we introduce the first plug-in hybrid model from smart—the smart Elf #5 EHD. It offers a comprehensive range of over 1600 km under CLTC conditions. This model responds to market demand. Let’s explore its highlights through this article!
Its design continues the style of the electric version. I love the capsule element in its design. It fits well with the playful nature of the smart brand. The headlight group features a “capsule” element. It creates a segmented light strip. After getting used to continuous headlights, this design brings fresh ideas.
The car’s side gives me a solid, sturdy vibe. It features straight lines without unique designs. This choice enhances the interior space. The dimensions measure 4705mm in length, 1920mm in width, and 1710mm in height. The wheelbase spans 2900mm.
The rear of the car confirms the earlier assessment of its side. The overall design looks solid. It reflects the saying: smart has grown up. It features a grid-style light group that matches the headlights, creating a distinctive brand identity.
Have you noticed that today’s new energy cars have similar interiors? They feature a large central screen and a screen behind the steering wheel. The designs look almost the same. However, smart stands out with unique features. The interior still includes capsule elements. For example, the 10.3-inch central screen and the 13-inch passenger screen have a capsule shape. This design looks more dynamic than a square one. It can also connect to a 25.6-inch AR head-up display and a 233-inch automotive-grade full-color laser projector hidden in the front.
The audio system from Sennheiser features 20 speakers. It delivers over 2000 watts of power and supports Dolby Atmos. The best part is its center speaker, which rises automatically, adding a sense of ceremony. The seat design meets current consumer needs. For example, the front seats can recline and connect with the rear seats to form beach chairs. Additionally, all seats can fold down to create a bed mode. These features align well with the vehicle’s outdoor focus.
The Smart Pilot Assist system features 36 high-precision sensors. It uses a “no map + end-to-end” technology framework. The NSP intelligent navigation assist enables smart navigation in highways, cities, and ramps. It achieves an average intersection success rate greater than 95%. The overall lane change success rate exceeds 93%. The ramp merging success rate is also above 95%.
The “Magic Carpet” air suspension supports six height adjustments. It can raise the suspension by 45 millimeters for complex road conditions. It can lower by a maximum of 50 millimeters. The CCD continuous variable damping shock absorber responds 500 times per second. It adjusts in real-time based on road conditions. The adjustable height air suspension design makes it easy for elderly and children to enter and exit the vehicle. It also simplifies retrieving heavy items from the trunk.
The smart #5 EHD features a hybrid system with a 1.5T engine. It delivers a maximum power of 120 kW. The electric range exceeds 250 km. The fuel consumption drops to 4.4 L/100 km. The CLTC combined range surpasses 1600 km.
