smart #5 Claims Six Major Awards in Global Launch Year
* The mid-size SUV combines distinctive Mercedes-Benz design, up to 590 km of range, a high-tech cockpit, and segment-leading safety.
* The smart #5 will be launched in more international markets in 2026, including the UAE from February 10.
In its debut year on the world stage, the smart #5 has claimed 6 major awards - earning praise from critics, press, and drivers alike, and proving its broad international appeal.
In recent weeks, the electric mid-size SUV was named Norway's Car of the Year 2026, won the What Car? Family Electric SUV of the Year prize in the UK, finished runner-up in the 2026 Swiss Car of the Year awards, and, in China Hong Kong, was named among UpCar's Grand Ten 2025 and the 2026 Best Urban SUV by Car1.hk. The model also earned top safety recognition as Euro NCAP's "Best in Class" Large SUV of 2025 and received two Red Dot Design Awards for its product design and innovative user interface. Together, these accolades highlight the smart #5's all-round strengths across design, safety, and user experience - a direct result of the brand's 'One-product Principle', which ensures every model is designed and developed to reach the highest international benchmarks.

Global awards substantiate the smart #5's all-round strengths

Styled by the Mercedes-Benz global design team, the smart #5 follows the brand's "Love, Pure, Unexpected" design philosophy. Featuring a panoramic halo roof, frameless doors, and iconic oblong front and rear lights, the smart #5 showcases a distinctive boxy and upright silhouette, offering a playful yet refined touch, and unmistakably smart from every angle.
