[text/li yaxuan, caiquanshe & daogeshuoche] on september 20, the new smart elf #5, the car with the highest "mercedes-benz" content in history, officially started pre-sale, with a pre-sale price of 245,000 yuan.

although this is a square box, the new car has almost no straight lines and edges from the outside. its styling language is relatively consistent with that of elf #1, and it has the style of a mercedes-benz suv, with a high degree of commonality in design.

but apart from this, why does the new smart elf #5 have such a high mercedes-benz content?

large space and luxurious interior design

as the largest model of the smart brand, the new smart elf #5 is positioned as a large 5-seater medium-sized suv with a body size of 4705mm*1920mm*1705mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, which is a whole circle larger than the elf #3's 4400mm*1844mm*1556mm. it is comparable to the tesla model y, and even not inferior to the standard wheelbase version of the mercedes-benz glc, only slightly shorter by 11mm.

thanks to the "four-wheel four-corner" body layout, the new car has a room ratio of up to 85%, the second-row knee space is over 400mm, and the longitudinal space is 2458mm. there are 34 storage spaces in the whole car, the front trunk has a large space of 72 liters, the bottom of the trunk has a hidden storage space of 110 liters, and hooks are set on the floor and side panels.

the reason why the new smart elf #5 is said to have a high "benz" content is that the interior design of the new car is full of luxury. the overall soft package area in the car is as high as more than 20 square meters, achieving an ultra-large area of ​​90% of the interior soft package. it is worth noting that mercedes-benz designers have integrated the wood elements representing luxury texture into the interior design of smart for the first time. the oak trim unique to the italian alps adds a touch of natural atmosphere to the new car.

in addition, the new car has seat adjustment buttons like mercedes-benz on all four doors to adapt to more diversified usage scenarios.

the suspension can be raised or lowered and has 8 driving modes

in fact, to help users explore various terrains, the new smart elf #5 provides 8 driving modes. there are 3 paved road driving modes: eco, comfort, sport, and 5 outdoor driving modes: sand, snow, mud, rock, and adaptive. the maximum wading depth is 500mm and the steep slope capability is 45°.

the new car adopts the front double wishbone and the rear five-link independent suspension which is standard for luxury cars, and is equipped with the "magic carpet" air suspension, which supports 6-speed height adjustment. when facing unpaved roads and bumpy roads, the suspension can be raised by 40 mm. at the same time, the ccd continuously variable damping shock absorber responds 500 times per second and adjusts in real time according to the road conditions, making the bumpy sections more comfortable and reducing the roll when turning quickly.

the new car also has an x-shaped painted roof platform that can bear about 500 kilograms. it adopts a modular design and a double-layer detachable structure that can accommodate spare boxes, camping racks and other outdoor equipment. surprisingly, four convenient standard installation ports are reserved on the side of the roof platform, providing more possibilities for sports cameras or other expansion accessories, allowing you to give full play to your imagination.

the crater-shaped luggage rack has a static load capacity of 240kg and a dynamic load capacity of 100kg. it also contains a hidden electric trailer hook, which complies with c6 qualification regulations and can be put on the road without special declaration.

excellent safety performance, up to 8 airbags in the vehicle

as for safety, smart also has a lot to say. after all, it is the first car company in the industry to develop an integrated safety protection system and successfully passed the china automotive research institute's front-row zero-gravity seat collision test.

as the third product after the smart pure electric renewal, the new smart elf #5 has undergone more than 130 collision and safety tests including a 50-kilometer frontal offset collision and a 25% overlap small offset collision, which is known as the "devil collision" in the industry. the vehicle has excellent stability, meets global testing standards, and demonstrates excellent safety performance in various environments.

the new car also has 360° all-round flexible safety protection. in addition to the standard 6 airbags, there is also a standard remote airbag and a zero-gravity seat cushion airbag. the whole vehicle has as many as 8 airbags, which is slightly better than tesla model y.

smart elf #5 pre-sale price starts from 245,000 yuan

finally, let's focus on the price. the pre-sale price of the new smart elf #5 starts at 245,000 yuan, and many netizens think it is too expensive. in this case, are users willing to make a small order and then a large order for this car? the listing price at that time will be very important.
