The 2025 Smart #3 Brabus marks a remarkable reinvention for a brand once synonymous with tiny city cars. Built on Geely's SEA platform, this electric crossover delivers a startling 422 horsepower through dual motors and AWD, hitting 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, performance that embarrasses many traditional sports cars. The 260-mile WLTP range is respectable, and the interior offers a modern, tech-forward cabin with a large central touchscreen and quality materials. The ride strikes a reasonable balance between Brabus-branded sportiness and daily comfort. However, at $48,000 it faces stiff competition from the Tesla Model Y Performance and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, both of which offer more brand recognition and charging network advantages. The Smart badge may deter buyers unfamiliar with the brand's transformation, and real-world range can dip significantly in cold weather or at highway speeds. For early adopters and tech enthusiasts wanting something genuinely different in the electric crossover space, the #3 Brabus is an intriguing dark horse.
