CarTell take

We haven't driven the #1 yet. On paper, smart Australia is run by LMA Automotive with showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne only at launch. Confirm dealer access in your region. The #1 shares its SEA platform with the Volvo EX30 and Zeekr X.

Why consider it

  • 22 kW three-phase AC charging standard, sliding rear bench (135mm fore-aft) that trades legroom for boot space on demand, and a Brabus variant making 315 kW AWD for a 3.9-second 0 to 100.
  • 5-star ANCAP against the 2023 protocol.

What to know

  • 66 kWh pack delivers 420 to 440 km WLTP, smaller than the Volvo EX30 Extended Range.
  • 323 L boot in the rearmost slide position is tight for family duty.

Who it suits

First-time EV buyers who want 22 kW three-phase home charging, inner-city couples who value the compact footprint and sliding rear bench, and hot-hatch refugees drawn to the Brabus 315 kW AWD performance variant.
