The West Lake in winter is still full of the style of the south of the Yangtze River in this harsh winter, and the warmth of the gentle breeze under the sunny sun has penetrated into the hearts of wanderers. West Lake, everything is still so soft, so quiet and fascinating.
On December 26th, when the new luxury smart pure electric car brand smart "Inspired City Roaming" drove to Hangzhou, this undefined trend journey, the "Personality Party" added a smart "poetry" to the beautiful landscapes and elegant gardens of Hangzhou, and broke the momentary calm.
This calm and unquiet may come from the new luxury and trendy lifestyle "smart citydrive".
Calm is the intrinsic trait of the smart PHI 1 and 3 PH family members, breaking the "instant calm" unrest, and is the BRABUS performance version of the SMART PHI 1 and 3. Smart continues its legend with Brabus, the world's largest independent high-performance vehicle manufacturer, with brabus performance four-wheel drive control, powerful dual-motor drive, and 000 acceleration in just 3.9 seconds and 3In 6 seconds, the super racing ability makes the driving pleasure from the road to the heart.
Breaking the calm "noise and commotion", I thought: the heart-warming details from the brabus performance version, especially the 4 simulated sounds in the car, allow the owner to enjoy a sports car driving pleasure in an instant, which is scarce in other pure electric cars, redefining the exciting urban pure electric high-performance driving experience.
In this test drive, from Hangzhou to Anji area, the new generation of smart pure electric vehicle family Phantom 1 and 3 and Brabus performance version, in the city road, in the highway, to the county road, rural road, and mountain road crossing, no matter the intricate city road or the mountain, rugged road, all show the eclectic driving fun.
Take smart Phantom 1 as an example. Smart Phantom 1 has been awarded the "Five-Star Safety Certification" by the European New Car Safety Assessment Association (Euro NCAP) and the China New Car Evaluation Regulations (C-NCAP) within two years, with a length of 4270, a width of 1822, a height of 1636 (mm), a wheelbase of 2750mm, a peak torque of 343N·m, and an acceleration of 6 per 100 kilometers7S, CLTC has a maximum range of 560km. The Smart Phantom 1 adopts MacPherson independent suspension in the front, five-link independent suspension in the rear, Bosch-93. With the blessing of the body electronic stability control system, the dynamic driving performance is solid, and the chassis tuning takes into account both sport and comfort.
For more than 25 years, smart has always practiced inspiration with courage and has become a trendy cultural symbol of urban mobility.
In the role positioning of the automobile market, smart has built the "exquisite" label on the "global new luxury coupe SUV" model after the brand renewal of the Phantom 3 and the brand. For example, concealed door handles, trunk opening "included" in smart"a"The letters are medium, just like the smart 1, and they all embody the "exquisite" ingenuity.
In this test drive activity, the author chose the smart Elf 3 to deeply experience the driving feeling of "urban refinement".
In terms of design, the smart Phantom 3 is designed with the concept of "new luxury sports aesthetics", and the avant-garde and dynamic fastback coupe SUV design style subverts the small and cute "elf" image in many people's impressions. From the side, it looks like a compact SUV, and the size of the car is further enlarged from the front, and the body is not long, but the wheelbase has reached 2785mm.
Strong power, four-wheel drive system, ultra-low center of gravity, four-wheel four-corner, trapezoidal chassis layout, sports chassis tuning ......The basic qualities that affect driving pleasure can be found in the Smart Phantom 3. This "Energetic City Chum" has the ability to race in a straight line, and it only takes 11 to accelerate from 0 to 400m97s, the tail speed is as high as 18015km/h。
Because of the sporty design aesthetics, in the process of test driving, the smart Phantom 3 driving experience is more "hard" than the Phantom 1, whether it is the operation of the steering wheel, or the interior, the feeling of riding, it is also a little more "violent". But on the whole, it is still the kind that is suitable for family use, but it is more blessed with passion and sports. High-speed acceleration, mountain climbing, cornering steering, etc., are all more satisfying. After all, the Smart Phantom 3 is essentially identical to the Brabus Performance Edition in terms of electric drive system and hardware.
Compared with the little fox of the Elf 1, the new **ATAR voice elf assistant of the Elf 3 is a cheetah, with a more masculine detail design. According to reports, compared with the Phantom 1, female owners buy more, smart Phantom 3 has increased the "captured" male, and the men and women are relatively balanced, just like its 50:50 front and rear axle load ratio.
Anji Mountain, also famous for bamboo, as the metropolitan area of Hangzhou, the land of beautiful mountains and rivers, is a good "pastoral" for nourishing. Wandering in the natural scenery of the smart elf 3, this is a fun to drive exquisite car "Fun Hengsheng".
It is reported that from September 23, 2022 to November 1, 2023, smart has delivered a total of 45,873 units.

Indeed, "Don't think of smart as small, and don't think of smart as simple." ”
