Description:
After driving the Smart #5 Brabus (94 kWh) for two weeks and covering around 1,600 km, it's time for my full review.
How good is the driving experience? How comfortable is it on long journeys? Is the software finally where it should be? And how impressive is the charging performance of Smart's new flagship SUV?
In this review I cover everything from suspension, performance, interior quality, software, driver assistance systems, charging, efficiency and all the things I loved—and the areas that still need improvement.
