What if Smart decided to go after the booming SUV / crossover segments with a vehicle
of their own? Well, that's what Aksyonov Nikita tried to answer with this
render.
Whether or not it would work, is another story, but
an SUV could renew interest in the Smart brand. In line with the company's
other products, it would slot under supermini-based models like the Peugeot
2008 and Nissan Juke, targeting a younger audience in search of a life-style
crossover focused on urban practicality.
And if you think that it will never happen, we'll
remind you that Smart have been mulling such a vehicle for the past 12 years.
They even introduced the ForMore and ForStars concepts during this time, to
preview what it could look like, but unfortunately, their ideas never
materialized.
