Mercedes will initially preview Smart s first-ever SUV as a concept.
Smart may no longer sell cars in the US, but the company lives on in Europe. Since Geely acquired a 50 percent stake, Smart has been reinvented into an electric-only brand. The Smart brand is associated with compact city cars like the funky ForTwo, but we ve known for a while the company is building its first-ever SUV to tap into the popular subcompact SUV market.
Last year, Smart s vice president of global sales, Daniel Lescow, confirmed that Smart s first SUV will go on sale in 2022. Before then, Autocar reports the electric compact SUV will be previewed by a concept at the Munich motor show in September.
