The Smart #3 Brabus may be the performance flagship of the fully electric coupe SUV range, but who says it can’t turn a few more heads? Enter German tuner Brabus, revealing a suite of optional components that promise to crank up both the road presence and aerodynamics of the hot SUV. Unlike the recent tuning kit for the Smart #1, which was designed for the entire lineup, this extra dose of “Brabusness” is reserved exclusively for the Smart #3 Brabus. Up front, a bold splitter takes center stage, purportedly reducing front-axle lift at high speeds—perfect for when you’re in a hurry to impress. The splitter is paired with sporty extensions on the bumper intakes, making them look even more aggressive. Out back, Brabus has slapped on a larger spoiler and a rear fascia insert mimicking a diffuser, all crafted from high-grade PUR synthetic material to ensure OEM quality.
Another standout upgrade is the set of
21-inch Brabus Monoblock Z Platinum Edition alloy wheels, a step up from the
stock 20-inchers. These wheels come wrapped in 255/35 ZR21 tires from your
choice of Continental, Hankook, or Yokohama. If you’re feeling less
adventurous, Brabus also offers the same design in a more modest 20-inch size. To
complete the look, Brabus offers sports springs that lower the Smart #3 by 35
mm, giving it a hunkered-down stance that screams hot hatch rather
than off-roader—let’s face it, this thing won’t be tackling any trails.
There are no changes on the
fully electric powertrain. The Smart #3 Brabus still packs dual electric motors
delivering a combined 422 hp and 543 Nm of
torque, powered by a 66 kWh battery pack. This setup launches the SUV from
0-100 km/h in a brisk 3.7 seconds. Finally, the tuner offers
“refinement options” for the interior. These include aluminum pedals,
illuminated side sills, floor mats, and a velour cargo mat—all proudly bearing
the Brabus logo.
All of the exterior and interior upgrades
for the Smart #3 Brabus are listed on the tuner’s official website, with
pricing available upon request.
