SMART #1 PREMIUM

- Greg Potts

Hashtag blessed

Right, let's clear up that name before we go any further. This is the Smart #1. And yes, you do have to say "Hashtag One" in full like someone who has just discovered 'The Internet'. It's not "Number One" and neither is it just "One".

This is the first new car that Smart has launched in its current form, with the company reborn in 2020 as a 50/50 joint venture between Mercedes and the ever-expanding Chinese firm Geely. Size-wise it's similar to a Mini Countryman, but underneath it's based on one of Geely's pre-existing, dedicated EV platforms.

"The Superb is supposed to get 47mpg, but I'm getting over 50"

I'M FULLY AWARE THAT constantly singing the praises of a 2.0-litre diesel estate car is a bit dull, but age is knowing what's good and caring less about what's supposed to be cool.
