SMART #1 SMART #3 AUSTRALIA LAUNCH & DRIVE FROM BRISBANE TO BYRON BAY

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom of Ludicrous Feed provides comprehensive coverage of the Smart #1 and #3 Australian launch event, including a detailed drive from Brisbane to Byron Bay. The reviewer highlights the premium interior feel, influenced by Mercedes-Benz design, and praises the competitive pricing. While the Smart #3 is favored for its sleek, aerodynamic design and versatility, the #1 is noted as a capable urban companion. Tom expresses a desire for longer-term media loans to assess performance in urban environments. The drive revealed good handling on winding roads and comfortable highway cruising, though concerns were raised about the glass roof's heat in Australia and the frequency of overspeed warnings. The reviewer found the #3's ride quality and cabin insulation to be good, and appreciated the flat floor and spacious rear in both models. Overall, the Smart #3 emerges as the preferred vehicle for its aesthetic and practicality.
