UK prices for the 2020 Smart EQ range

Dealers are now accepting orders for the pure-electric Smart EQ fortwo and EQ forfour, ahead of the first customer deliveries which are due to take place in March.

Power is provided by an 80 bhp (60 kW / 82 PS) rear-mounted synchronous electric motor that’s mated to a single-speed transmission. The other key component is a 96-cell, three-module, lithium-ion battery pack with a modest usable capacity of 17.2 kWh.

Depending on the body style, driving range according to the WLTP measure varies from 71 to 83 miles (115 to 135 kilometres). Adequate for most commuting journeys or short day trips, then, but not much else.

Perhaps recognising how that could limit the appeal of its EQ models, Smart has decided to fit a 22 kW on-board charger as standard. Consequently, replenishing from 10% to 80% takes less than 40 minutes using a public rapid-charging facility. The same operation is completed in 3 hours 18 minutes when connected to a dedicated home wallbox, or 8 hours 30 minutes via a normal domestic supply.

There’s a choice of four trim grades. All come with automatic climate control, a touchscreen-based infotainment system, rear parking sensors and a multi-function steering wheel. 15” or 16” alloy wheels, part-leather upholstery, heated seats, a rear-view camera and LED headlights can be found on the more expensive variants.
