The short version

The Smart #2 is a newly revealed, all-electric two-seat city car, presented at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026. ²
It measures 2,746 mm long and has a stated turning circle of 6.95 metres, figures that suggest it is intended to manoeuvre in tight urban spaces. ²
The car carries over features including a split tailgate and wheels positioned near the corners of the body. ²
A CAR Magazine report says the UK price will be under £20,000 and the range about 180 miles, but the supplied Smart announcement does not confirm those figures. ¹²

What is the new Smart #2?

The Smart #2 is a new, all-electric two-seat car aimed especially at urban driving. Smart calls it a contemporary reinvention of its small two-seater, a type of car associated with the brand since its early years. The model made its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026. ²

The announcement describes the #2 as an ultra-compact city car, rather than a larger family vehicle. It has two seats and two doors, with a small body intended to make the most of limited street and parking space. ¹²

How small is the Smart #2?

Smart gives the car’s length as 2,746 mm, or about 2.75 metres. The company also says it has a curb-to-curb turning circle of 6.95 metres. The turning circle is the space needed for a vehicle to make a full turn, measured from kerb to kerb. ²

Those measurements may appeal to people who often drive on narrow streets or need to fit into small parking spaces. They do not, by themselves, show how easy the car will be to park in every real-world situation. The supplied sources do not provide its width, height or a detailed comparison with other current cars. ²

What is the Smart #2 like inside and outside?

The #2 keeps a short, rounded shape, with the wheels close to the body’s corners. Smart says this layout helps make room inside despite the compact outside dimensions. The company also points to a two-tone body and an updated version of the model’s split tailgate, which opens in two parts. ¹²

CAR Magazine reports that the tailgate opens to a boot area behind the two seats and describes the interior as high quality. However, the available Smart announcement does not give boot capacity, cabin measurements or a full list of interior equipment. Those details would help buyers judge how well the car suits shopping, luggage or everyday use. ¹²

How far can the electric Smart #2 travel?

The Smart #2 is fully electric, but Smart’s supplied premiere announcement does not state its battery size or official driving range. CAR Magazine reports a range of 180 miles. The material available here does not say whether that figure is an official estimate, which testing method it uses, or whether it applies to a particular version. ¹²

For that reason, 180 miles should be treated as a reported figure rather than a complete picture of the car’s everyday range. Charging speed, battery capacity and energy use are also not specified in the supplied sources. ¹²

What will the Smart #2 cost, and when can people buy it?

CAR Magazine reports that the UK price is expected to be under £20,000. Smart’s announcement confirms the car’s world premiere but does not give a price, order date or delivery timetable. The reported figure is therefore not enough to establish the final price or what equipment it would include. ¹²

The premiere took place on October 12, 2026, but a reveal is not the same as a confirmed on-sale date. The supplied sources also do not specify trim levels, warranty terms or availability in different countries. Readers should check Smart’s official information for updates as these details are announced. ²

What we don't know yet

The official driving range, battery capacity and charging performance are not stated in Smart’s supplied announcement.
The final UK price and the equipment included at that price are not confirmed in the supplied sources.
The order, delivery and market-availability dates are not given.
Full dimensions, boot capacity and detailed safety or interior specifications are not provided.
