SMART #6 sedan prototype spotted testing in China

[Design FIRST]

It is reported that it will be offered in BEV as well as PHEV or REEV form. No information regarding the car's exterior dimensions, but it appears to be in the vicinity of the MMA CLA or future C-Class EQ sedans. And it may very well turn out to be visually far more attractive.

A very "smart" move by Smart, something I always wanted MINI to do as an obvious way to diversify its lineup if they got the design right.

Now I'm surprised Smart continues to invest, considering it's a huge sales failure in Europe and even worse in China, where it ranks 60th among brands, despite having a completely new model lineup.

Indeed, it's a pity that SMART is not enjoying far more market success here in the EU. Bloody nice cars, the #1, #3 and #5 IMHO. And having spent a little bit of time with a #1 BRABUS left me very impressed.

Geely will pour into it whatever is needed. They don't care as they get free money from the CCP. And they also have like 20 platform ready to be used.

True, the ease with which the Chinese operate shouldn't be underestimated

The #2 is also coming. I guess few will buy it, but it’ll be the best city car.

This is a great new addition for the Smart range. A saloon should do better in the Chinese market, interesting development indeed and I look forward to seeing more pics and details of the interior. I am very surprised why SMART latest cars are not selling well in China or in Europe. Is there some bad stigma about their cars? The #5 is a phenomenal SUV, the performance of the Brabus version is blistering and it looks great with a practical and good looking interior that is every bit as good or even better than the CLA interior.
