Smart #5 Malaysia launch set to take place this Friday

Smart Malaysia has started the countdown for the upcoming Smart #5 launch. This is the brand’s largest EV yet and it is the first to come with an 800V architecture.

According to their official Facebook page, the Smart #5 Malaysian launch is happening 5 days from now, which falls on Friday, 14th November 2025.

At the time of writing, there’s no indicative pricing just yet for the fully electric SUV. Based on the Smart #1 and Smart #3 pricing, we reckon that it could be priced between RM200,000 to RM270,000.

A few months ago, we had the opportunity to get a preview of the Smart #5. Designed by Mercedes-Benz, the #5 is described as their most versatile vehicle to date.

We’ve been told by Pro-Net that the Smart #5 will be offered in either Premium and Brabus variants first, and the more affordable Pro version with a smaller 400V LFP battery would be released much later.

In terms of specs, the Smart #5 Premium is a RWD model that does 267kW (358hp) and 373Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds, up to a top speed of 200km/h.

Meanwhile, the Smart #5 Brabus is the range-topping AWD model. It has dual motors pushing 475kW (637hp) and 710Nm of torque. This performance SUV can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 210km/h.

Both Premium and Brabus variants get a huge 100kWh 800V NMC battery that supports up to 400kW DC fast charging. This means you can top up from 10-80% in just 15 minutes with a high-powered DC charger.

Similar to its #1 and #3 models, the #5 Premium and Brabus supports three-phase AC charging up to 22kW which is faster than most EVs in the market.

The Smart #5 is a chunky looking electric SUV which unique details inside and out. On the dashboard, you get not one, not two but a total of three displays which consists of a 10.3″ instrument cluster, 13″ OLED centre display and a 13″ OLED display for the front passengers. Powering the infotainment system is an AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 processor.

For audio, the Smart #5 Premium and Brabus will get a 1,190W 20-speaker Sennheiser Signature Sound System with Dolby Atmos.

In terms of storage, the Smart #5 is very generous with a boot capacity of 630L, expandable up to 1,530L with the rear seats folded. If that’s not enough, there’s also a frunk which offers 72L for the RWD models or 47L for the AWD Brabus version.
