The All-Electric smart #5 BRABUS Doesn’t Just Bare Its Teeth – It Bites
If your average electric car is like a latte – smooth, mild, and universally agreeable – then the smart #5 BRABUS is a double espresso spiked with nitro and a healthy dose of German brute force. This is not a car that tries to blend in. It draws a red line across the asphalt and roars over it shouting, “Look at me!”
Smart’s latest flagship isn’t just their most powerful electric SUV – it’s 475 kW of sheer audacity, launching you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Yes, it’s electric. Yes, it’s an SUV. And yes – it’s BRABUS, which means everything is turned up to eleven. In the best possible way.
Built on an 800-volt architecture, the smart #5 BRABUS supports ultra-fast charging – taking its 100 kWh battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes, provided you can find a charger powerful enough to deliver a whopping 400 kW. But hey, that's part of the adventure. The range? Up to 540 kilometres (WLTP) – though let’s be honest, that’s secondary to the fact that you’ll be enjoying every one of those kilometres with red brake calipers, 21-inch Monoblock Z wheels, and a custom BRABUS driving mode that pumps simulated engine noise into your cabin. Because yes, even the sound has been engineered to thrill.
Where Futurism Meets Luxury
Step inside, and it’s clear this isn’t just another EV. The interior is where tech-forward minimalism shakes hands with high-end craftsmanship. You get an Alcantara steering wheel with illuminated BRABUS badging, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, and a microfibre-lined panoramic halo roof that makes the whole cabin feel airy, sculpted, and unapologetically premium. Oh, and the ambient lighting? 256 colours to match every mood from Zen to full throttle.
Still not impressed? Try this on: the car houses 20 high-performance speakers powered by a 1,190-watt Sennheiser sound system that supports Dolby Atmos 7.1.4. Whether you’re listening to Mozart or Metallica, it sounds like you’re sitting front row – with the road humming underneath you.
When and Where?
In the UK, orders for the smart #5 BRABUS open in Q4 of 2025. As for the rest of us? Probably never. But if – by some miracle – this beast makes it to our shores, you can bet it’ll turn more heads than your neighbour’s brand-new deck. And sound better doing it, too.
