smart Malaysia has officially opened bookings for the highly anticipated All-New smart #5, following its celebrated debut at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025. The launch marks a major step in the brand’s expansion across the region, introducing a model that combines rugged elegance, intelligent technology, and everyday versatility — all wrapped in a bold, adventure-ready design.

Carrying the theme of “Contemporary Adventurer,” the smart #5 is aimed at urban explorers who seek more space, range, and presence in their electric vehicles. Its bold, boxy silhouette radiates confidence while delivering functionality and refinement. Built on advanced EV architecture, the SUV offers dynamic performance and adaptability for modern lifestyles.

Zhang Qiang, Chief Executive Officer of smart Malaysia, expressed his excitement at the model’s arrival: “The smart #5 represents a new dimension of electric mobility — powerful, practical, and unmistakably smart. With its rugged design, long-range capability, and intelligent features, it’s built to future-proof every journey. As bookings open, we’re ready to welcome customers nationwide to experience this new chapter in electric mobility.”

Customers can now secure their smart #5 with a RM2,000 booking fee through two easy channels:

  • The Hello smart App, available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store
  • The smart Malaysia website

This dual-platform approach ensures convenience for all, whether buyers prefer a digital-first experience or an in-person visit to an authorised smart dealership.

Inside, the smart #5 sets a new benchmark for interior luxury and comfort. Over 90% of the cabin is wrapped in soft-touch Nappa leather, complemented by oak wood trims and a tie-clip-inspired dashboard design. A panoramic 1.7m² glass roof adds an airy ambience, while an integrated sunshade and centre-console chiller enhance comfort on long drives. Double-layered soundproof glass ensures peace and quiet even in busy city conditions.

For convenience and versatility, the SUV offers three configurable bed modes, 34 storage compartments, a 1,530L rear trunk, and a 72L frunk — perfect for family road trips or spontaneous getaways.

The smart #5 is equipped with state-of-the-art digital features, including dual 13-inch OLED displays, a massive 25.6-inch augmented reality head-up display, and an AMD V2000 automotive-grade chipset. At its heart is LEO, a ChatGPT-powered smart avatar that helps with navigation, communication, and vehicle controls. Compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensures seamless connectivity.

Audiophiles will appreciate the SENNHEISER 20-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos and an auto-lift centre speaker illuminated by ambient lighting — creating a concert-like experience on every drive.

Safety is another strong point for the smart #5, which recently achieved a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating with the highest overall score among large SUVs tested in 2025. Its structure features 82% high-strength steel with 42,000Nm torsional rigidity. The SUV includes seven airbags, Smart Pilot Assist with Highway Pilot Assist (HWA), Stop & Go functionality, and a 360° camera system.

Nine driving modes — including five dedicated to off-road conditions — ensure adaptability, while double wishbone and multi-link suspension deliver superior comfort and control.

The smart #5 comes in two trims tailored for different driving preferences:

  • Premium – Rear-wheel drive, 0–100km/h in 6.5 seconds, powered by a 100kWh battery offering up to 590km WLTP range. With 800V architecture, 22kW AC charging, and 400kW DC fast charging, it’s built for efficient, long-distance comfort.
  • BRABUS – For those craving power and performance, the BRABUS model delivers 0–100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Its dual-motor all-wheel drive, Launch Mode, BRABUS-tuned driving sound, Dinamica microfibre seats, red brake callipers, and 21” BRABUS Monoblock Z wheels embody pure performance and style.

With its fusion of design, intelligence, and capability, the smart #5 exemplifies the brand’s slogan: “Future-proof, wherever your journey takes you.”
