Concept #2 previews next-gen city EV as smart reinvents its roots

The smart Concept #2 made its global debut as a preview of the upcoming production smart #2, set for launch at the Paris Motor Show 2026.

Designed by the Mercedes-Benz design team, the Concept #2 reimagines the brand’s iconic two-seater city car with a “Function becomes Fashion” philosophy, according to a press release. At just 2.79 meters long, it features a tight 6.95-meter turning radius and maximized interior space through its wheels-at-the-corners layout.

The concept targets nearly 300 km of WLTP range and supports fast charging from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, alongside Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. Built on smart’s new Electric Compact Architecture (ECA), it represents a shift toward more expressive, lifestyle-focused urban mobility.

The #6 EHD features a spacious interior with dual 13-inch OLED displays, a 525-liter trunk, and up to 86% space efficiency. Performance enhancements include a four-stage active rear spoiler and ZF-tuned steering, while safety is reinforced by a high-strength structural design.
