Overview
Launched in 2023, the smart #1 is a five-seat B-segment electric SUV with rear- or all-wheel drive. It suits buyers moving from a premium petrol SUV who want a compact EV, with 268 hp in the RWD models or 422 hp in the Brabus. Prices start from RM169,000.
#1 in 2026 — what's new
No 2026-specific update is recorded, so the smart #1 carries into 2026 unchanged in Pro, Premium and Brabus form. The range continues with 49 kWh or 66 kWh batteries, while the Brabus remains the AWD performance model. A 2025 Brabus Limited Edition opened for booking with a 35 mm lower ride height, 19-inch wheels and a bodykit. A separate 2025 power-bump announcement does not replace the listed Malaysian outputs.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM209,000 Premium. Its 66 kWh battery and 440 km range are a meaningful step up from the RM169,000 Pro's 49 kWh pack and 315 km range, while both retain 268 hp, RWD and five seats. The RM40,000 gap buys battery capacity and 125 km more quoted range. Pay RM249,000 for the Brabus only if 422 hp and AWD matter more than range; its quoted range falls to 400 km.

smart #1 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The smart #1 is an interesting Malaysian EV, particularly in Premium form, where the larger battery gives it the strongest quoted range of the three. But it is not a cheap B-segment electric SUV: the entry price sits above the RM69,999 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3 and RM100,000 BYD Atto 2. The Brabus is for buyers who specifically want the extra power and AWD.
