Ezz Elarab Group announces the official launch of luxury electric smart cars in the Egyptian market. The company has unveiled SUV models "1" and "3," each with a sporty "Brabus" version. The company stated that the official prices for the models to be launched in Egypt will be as follows:
Smart #1
The "Hashtag One" car
falls under the subcompact SUV crossover category. Its production version
debuted in April 2022. Resulting from a joint venture between Mercedes and the
Geely Group, Mercedes oversaw the vehicle's design, while Geely handled
engineering and production.
The electric #1 is launched in
the Egyptian market with three core trims, alongside a sporty "Brabus"
version. The agent offers a 5-year warranty on the vehicle and an 8-year
warranty on the battery. Prices are as follows: Pure+ category: 1,890,000 EGP; Pro+
category: 2,140,000 EGP; Premium category: 2,290,000 EGP; and Brabus category:
2,440,000 EGP
The electric motor generates 268
horsepower with a peak torque of 284 Nm. Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h
takes 6.7 seconds, and its top speed reaches 180 km/h. Notably, the sporty
Brabus trim boasts 422 horsepower and 543 Nm of torque, achieving a 0-100 km/h
sprint in 3.6 seconds.
The Pure+ trim features a 49 kWh
battery, enabling a range of up to 420 kilometers. The Pro+ and Premium trims
utilize a 66 kWh battery, with respective ranges of 418 and 440 kilometers. All
trims support 10-80% fast charging within 30 minutes.
The "Smart Hashtag One"
is available in three exterior colors: white, black, and gray. Interior
highlights include a 12.8-inch central screen with Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto compatibility, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, parking
sensors, front and side airbags, and lane-keeping assist.
Smart #3
The Smart #3 was unveiled in June
2023 as the second model from the Smart brand following its German-Chinese
alliance. Positioned as a compact SUV crossover, it's larger than its #1
sibling despite sharing the same SEA platform developed by the Geely Group for
electric vehicles. This platform underpins other models like the Volvo EX30 and
Zeekr X.
The electric Smart #3 is
available in the Egyptian market in three trim levels: Pro+, Premium, and the
sporty Brabus. All models enjoy the same warranty as the #1. Pro+: 2,290,000
EGP; Premium: 2,490,000 EGP; and Brabus: 2,690,000 EGP
While the horsepower remains
consistent with the #1 at 268 hp, the #3 boasts increased torque of 343 Nm.
This translates to quicker acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds for
the standard trims and an impressive 3.7 seconds for the Brabus.
The Pro+ and Premium trims utilize the same battery capacity found in the #1, but offer extended ranges: 435 km for Pro+ and 455 km for Premium. The Brabus version has an estimated range of 416 km. All models can be recharged from 10% to 80% using a fast charger within 30 minutes.
