- The test drive event showcases smart #5's versatile performance and premium features at Douro Valley
- Following the Hong Kong launch and Malaysia premiere, smart #5 continues its global rollout as the brand expands to 10+ new markets in 2025
Following the Hong Kong launch and Malaysia premiere, smart has successfully completed the first European media test drive of the smart #5 in Portugal's scenic Douro Valley, welcoming more than 170 journalists and content creators from 19 nations across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. Over two weeks, the event demonstrated the capabilities of smart's first premium mid-size SUV, showcasing the vehicle's performance in real-world to global audiences.
smart #5 challenges Douro Valley's Terrain
The smart #5 represents smart's entry into the premium mid-size SUV market, completing the brand's product portfolio alongside the smart #1 and smart #3. Positioned as a "Contemporary Adventurer," the smart #5 is designed to go beyond urban boundaries and embrace nature's challenges. The test drive event utilized the smart #5 BRABUS for dynamic driving assessments across the Douro Valley's challenging terrain. The test routes covered approximately 300 kilometers, including a mix of winding roads, sections with notable elevation changes, and light off-road passages.
The smart #5 demonstrated exceptional performance across all conditions. Its double wishbone front suspension ensured balanced handling and ride comfort even during spirited driving on uneven surfaces. The vehicle's five off-road driving modes (Adaptive, Sand, Snow, Mud and Rock), combined with high ground clearance of up to 197 mm and 500 mm wading depth, enabled confident handling off paved roads. The smart #5 BRABUS's advanced 800-volt platform also delivered impressive fast-charging performance throughout the test drive.
Premium Comfort Combining Unconventional Design
The smart #5 is also showcasing the vehicle's bold outdoor adventure design by Mercedes-Benz. The #5's muscular, boxy silhouette embodies its outdoor character while maintaining smart's signature design elements including panoramic halo roof and frameless doors. Inside, the sophisticated interior features zero-gravity seats, premium leather upholstery, and "First Class" rear seating with industry-leading headroom. The Sennheiser Signature Sound System provides an immersive audio experience that complements the journey.
Following the #5 BRABUS world premiere in Milan and the China launch at Auto Shanghai 2025, the European media test drive further brings #5 to global customers. As of April 2025, smart has expanded its business to 37 markets worldwide, across China and Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, with expansion into 10 new overseas markets in 2025. In line with its brand claim "open your mind", smart is bringing the premium experience of #5 to customers worldwide.
