SMART #3 PREMIUM AUSTRALIA REVIEW AND WALKTHROUGH OF PRICING & SPECS

EV Channels Review

The Smart #3 Premium is presented as a compelling option in the small SUV/coupe segment, particularly for urban driving and singles or young families. The reviewer expresses significant enthusiasm for its design, praising its aesthetic appeal and practical size for city use. Key highlights include its comfortable ride, balanced handling, and the premium feel attributed to its Mercedes-Benz collaboration and Chinese tech integration. The interior is noted for its quality materials and thoughtful design, though rear-seat comfort for adults on longer journeys is questioned, and the car is described as feeling slightly claustrophobic for some. Negatives are few, with the price being a primary concern, though justified by the brand's backing. The compromise in ADAS settings, requiring profile activation, and the NMC battery (rather than LFP) are also mentioned. Overall, the reviewer finds the Premium trim to offer excellent value, especially with its 22kW AC charging and premium features, making it a highly recommended, well-balanced choice for its target demographic.
