Off-road concept previews largest Smart ever

AutoExec Summary: At the Beijing motor show, Smart unveiled a rugged off-road concept of the forthcoming #5 mid-size crossover. Set to be Smart’s largest vehicle, the production model will debut in the latter half of this year. The concept features all-wheel drive, a 100kWh battery with a 550km WLTP range, and 800V fast-charging capabilities. Design highlights include a boxy shape, off-road features like skid plates and large tyres, and an advanced interior with OLED displays powered by an AMD V2000 chip. The Smart #5 is unlikely to be offered in Australia, where Smart exited the market in 2015.
