New electric Smart car got unveiled at the Paris motor show. 2-seater, 60kw battery, 80hp rear electric motor. 180 mile range, and starting around €20,000... But also I can't be the only one who see this
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post incorrectly states the new Smart #2 has a "60kw battery"; it has a 35.8 kWh LFP battery and 60 kW (80 hp) rear motor. media.smart.com/en-CEU/272950-… electrek.co/2026/10/12/sma…

That design looks like a Smart car had a very unexpected crossover with a gaming console. I can already guess what everyone is comparing it to.

The 60kW is the motor, that's where the 80hp comes from. The battery is a 35.8kWh LFP pack, so 180 miles out of that is actually pretty efficient

For €20,000, you can get this in China.

How does this have the same battery size (60kWh) as a Model 3 RWD and still manages to be half the size with nearly 100 miles less range.

The battery is 36.8 kWh, the motor power is 60 kW (same as 82hp). Interior space is great for a car that is literally only 9 feet from one end to end. I'm 6'4" and I fit comfortably. youtu.be/rLxzuNo3p3o

Such a weird car given the success of Citroën Ami and Mobilize Duo. They are half the price and better for the city. This is a weird car with a tiny market. Tbh I'd rather have a Ami for the city and 'real car' for otherwise, the middle seems useless to me.

Yup, for sure! Also, that thing is a death trap in an accident.

60 kW must be the charging speed. A tiny car like that can’t have a 60 kWh battery! The range would have to be much higher.

smart being a geely joint venture now means the fortwo finally has a real supply chain...... 80hp for 20k euros is very on brand

In Spain the cheap end is already moving. Chinese brands were 17.5% of all car sales in September. A €20k city EV in 2026 lands in a segment BYD, MG and Leapmotor are already filling. Too expensive.
