It is the second vehicle produced by the joint venture. The model is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely. In China, the model is marketed as the Smart Jingling #3 ().

Technology
The #3 is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely. The rear motor produces 200 kW (272 PS) and offers a torque of 343 Nm. The additional front motor, which is reserved for the Brabus version of the #3, produces 115 kW (156 PS). A nickel-manganese-cobalt battery with an energy capacity of 66 kWh enables a range of 415 to 455 km according to WLTP. The alternating current charging power of the onboard charger is 22 kW. Direct current charging is possible with a power output of up to 150 kW, allowing the vehicle to be charged from 10 to 80% in less than 30 minutes. A base model with a 49-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and slightly lower charging performance was also introduced with a slight delay. In addition to a conventional trunk with 370 liters of storage space, the Smart #3, like some other electric car models, has a small front storage compartment (so-called frunk) with a capacity of 15 liters.
