Smart #3

Both the Smart #1 and #3 have been recalled in Australia, due to a shared fault affecting the centre rear seatbelt.

Smart is veering away from tiny cars with its new range of electric SUVs, but the brand claims its DNA remains intact.

The return of Smart to Australia will see the #1 and #3 electric SUVs offered in three variants each, ranging from $54,900 to $70,900.

Smart is returning to Australia this year with a pair of electric SUVs, and they've now been approved for sale in a range of different configurations each.

Smart cars haven't been sold in local showrooms since 2015, but the now-electric SUV maker confirmed its Down Under revival is coming soon.

A Smart has never been so large, with the Mercedes-Benz EQA-sized #3 electric SUV leaked in China ahead of a 2023 reveal.

If you're after a spiritual successor to the ForTwo then look elsewhere, but the Smart #3 is a great car in its own right.
