On August 26, 2022, the smart fortwo #1 BRABUS performance version was officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. The price of the car without new energy subsidies and optional extras is 279,000 yuan, and sales officially started at 10:30 am on August 26.
The price of the smart fortwo #1 BRABUS in stealth black is 279,000 yuan, while the remaining laser red and matte special car paint in matte grey are priced at 285,000 yuan, which is 6,000 yuan more expensive.
As far as the choice of car paint is concerned, each of the three colors has its own characteristics and is performance-oriented. The special car paint of matte grey is the advertisement color with the best visual effect. However, if this color is scratched, the difficulty of repairing the paint later will be very high, and extra caution is required when driving.
Regarding the upgrade of the BRABUS version, smart said that friends who completed the deposit payment before (excluding) August 15 can upgrade their original standard version of the smart fortwo #1 to the BRABUS version on August 26 after it is on sale, and retain the expected delivery time and the privilege of the “friends-first BUFF” already obtained in the original order.
At the same time, the track experience day event for the smart fortwo #1 BRABUS version will be held from September 16 to 17. Customers who have placed an order can sign up through the smart car app or smart car official mini program to experience the ultimate performance of BRABUS.
In addition, smart officials stated that the production of the Smart Elf #1 is steadily progressing, and the first batch of products has been produced and is expected to be officially delivered in September.
Therefore, whether it is the ordinary Smart Elf #1 or the BRABUS, delivery within this year can still enjoy this year’s new energy subsidy quota, but delivery next year will directly reduce by about RMB 12,000. We hope that the smart production line can speed up and deliver everyone’s car as soon as possible.
However, for those who have not booked their cars yet, Smart’s Zhang Mingxia stated that a new car model will be released every year from 2022 to 2024, stay tuned.
