Einfach CLEVER !*

* T'schuldigung Skoda. Besseres fällt mir spontan nicht ein.


That aside...This car is very, very impressive. Not only will it sell like fresh morning rolls, but it will also contribute to a rapidly increasing acceptance of electric automobiles in general. Well done indeed. Or perhaps even...HOME RUN ?
 
Honestly, the only thing missing is the round lights...
Even with that still doesn't have any design feature of Mini... Maybe the overall shape, but like others said it's more a EQA than it's a Mini (IMO)
 
The floating roof with the black pillars, and another color above, and all the general shapes just in a clear reminiscence of the MINI in general
 
Ok if you find similarities with Mini, but actually it has a lot of common with EQA and Opel Adam...

I had forgotten about the Adam, but as you posted, it is the bastard son between those two ;)
 
WOW, that is the best looking thing Smart has ever created. If only they had hung on in the USA this would have been a hit. It no longer looks like an afterthought and even the interior looks good. Yes if you can't beat Mini you join them and it looks like the Opel Adam too. It wouldn't be the hard to re-introduce Smart back to the USA. There were no stand alone dealers, they were all in house with Mercedes and Mercedes dealers still service Smarts so once you get a companion vehicle to this one, bring it back. EV only, it would be hit with this funky design.

Ok, it's cute, but it's nothing more than just another urban-SAV or whatever they are called these days.

...but it appears to possess the attributes necessary in order to make it a genuine mass-market electric automobile. The footprint and general package will draw swarms of potential customers into SMART stores. It's simply "perfectly sized" for many who are sustaining on a limited budget.
