Overview
The smart #5 is a C-segment electric SUV launched in Malaysia in 2025. It suits buyers wanting a five-seat EV with a 100 kWh battery and up to 590 km of range, rather than an entry-priced electric SUV. Prices start from RM209,800, rising to RM259,800.
#5 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the smart #5 continues with Premium and Brabus variants, both using a 100 kWh battery and seating five. The latest change is the Brabus Laser Red Edition, alongside a reported RM10,000 price increase for the #5 range. There is no separate 2026 mechanical update indicated: Premium retains 590 km range and 358 hp, while Brabus has 540 km and 637 hp.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose Premium at RM209,800. It has the same 100 kWh battery and five-seat layout as Brabus, costs RM50,000 less and delivers the longer 590 km range. Pay RM259,800 for Brabus only if 637 hp is the priority; it gives up 50 km of quoted range for a 279 hp advantage. Both use a single-ratio automatic.
Verdict
The #5 Premium puts 358 hp and a 590 km range in a C-segment electric SUV, but it is not a budget route into EV ownership. Its entry point sits far above the RM80,000 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3 and RM100,000 BYD Atto 2, though it is close to the RM208,888 Volvo EX30. Brabus is a costly, power-led step up.
