JAKARTA - In the middle of last year, Smart inaugurated the launch of the #5 model as well as increasing the number of electric vehicles in the global market.

Just like #1 and #3, Smart #5 also offers a number of advanced technologies such as ADAS, efficient electric drive, and puts functionality forward as an SUV.

In his introduction, the car offers a 800V voltage platform compatible with a 100 kWh battery that provides a distance of up to 740 km fully charged.

However, the manufacturer owned by Mercedes-Benz and Geely still opens the possibility of presenting Smart #5 in the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant as well as a response to the uncertainty of the global electric car market.

This has been confirmed by one of the brand's top brass in China after the PHEV version of the Smart #5 model caught on camera was being tested on various social media.

In response to this, a Smart European spokesman said it was very open to the presence of various technologies for a greener future.

"It is important to respond to customers' demands and desires that are increasingly diverse. Smarts cannot exclude any technological solutions for the future at this time," the spokesperson said, quoted by Autocar, Friday, January 24.

The presence of the PHEV version of this car is also a reaction to changes in the biggest sales dynamics explored by Smart, namely China where this technology car and the range-extender are on the rise.

It is estimated that Smart #5 will use the Thor system in the latest Geely model, Galaxy 7 EM-i.

This combines a 1.5 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline with an electronic dual-hybrid transmission (E-DHT) which gives a power boost of 110 cellphones combined with an electric motorcycle of 215 hp.

Just like the Galaxy 7 EM-i, the SUV is likely to be present in an 8.5 kWh battery option or 19.1 kWh lithium-iron phosphate which provides a distance of 54 km and 120 km according to the CLTC cycle.
