The smartest electric car buy? Smart to launch as EV brand in Australia with two affordable SUVs to tackle BYD and GWM

AutoExec Summary
Smart is set to make a comeback in the Australian market after a 10-year absence, with plans to introduce a new range of battery-electric cars. The brand was previously axed in 2015 due to poor sales of its ForTwo city car. The new range will include small all-electric SUVs, with hopes of a successful revival Down Under. The vehicles will be imported and distributed through an independent channel, with LSH Auto Australia behind the brand’s return. The official announcement is expected on May 27, with the new models potentially available in the coming months. Smart’s global spokesperson has confirmed the brand’s return to the Australian market.
