In this video, I show you the smart #1 (pronounced "Hashtag One") exterior, frunk and trunk. We dive inside to explore the cockpit materials, the storage, the gimmicks and we test the infotainment system. On the road we drift, we launch and we fast-charge this electrifying compact SUV. Let's gooo!
0 TO WOW IN 3.9 SECONDS
This Brabusized smart #1 boasts not one, but two electric motors. Delivering a jaw-dropping 428 horsepower and 584 Nm of torque to the 4 wheels. This super playful pocket rocket does the 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and is just a marvel to drive.

Whoever engineered that "Virtual Engine" sound needs to get a raise
It sounds great, especially the way the pitch changes when there’s wheel spin etc… you might forget you’re in an EV. Best fake engine so far! 👌😎
It sounds awful. Try listening to BMW's Hans Zimmer sounds... those are actually great, and not a bad attempt at emulating an ICE via the speakers.
@@thearousedeunuch I have to disagree. In this case the emulated engine sound is so well mapped to the throttle and speed, it really adds to the driving experience. Whether these sound packs should be synthetic futuristic sound scapes or nostalgic ICE age sounds, is another discussion. I hope the future will give us an option to choose between both! :)
@@thearousedeunuch The BMW ones sound awful to me, the Smart does it better
@@drewhender3999 To me, it's the other way around. BMW's sounds are futuristic and vibrant. The Smart's sounds are like those engine sound changers that featured in Pimp My Ride: obviously trying to emulate something much, much better.
I love this guy's videos. They are relaxing just watching this guy walk around and drive cool cars in silence.
Glad you like my silence :). Thanks for watching!
Can we all just agree that Johnny has the best job ever?
👊😄 I can’t complain
Not this time! Why the hell he dont say us if in sport mode the car give the same sensations (except for the engine sound) that in brabus mode? That here in Italy makes a difference of 5000 euros, because there is a version without brabus mode with the same power awd, that prices 5k less! Marketing is crazy!
@@marcolforoso4001 because it doesn't? At least not at my location. The BRABUS version is the only one with this power and acceleration, the Pulse version is the fastest non-BRABUS, but still a lot slower. Where did you find your info? I'm curious!
@@johnnypovdrives Why same power and same weight dont do same accelleration? Tell us! You are the master, we are the "students" here. I tried an answer: marketing lied: the only way to know if I'm right, is to feel or measure the real feelling or data. This is a rappresentation of confidence in you work by me!
@@johnnypovdrives given that it is desirable, as well as probable, that two cars with the same peak power and the same weight have the same performance, it seems likely to me that this is a branding move to strengthen the distinction of a fictitious alternative to excessive characterization of the Brabus model. so your test with the related impressions would have shed light. Maybe you can use one of those modern systems to measure acceleration data too!
1:28 When I took delivery of a BMW last year, the guy that handed it over to me said that you should never ever press on the hood when it´s half-closed like in this case. That can bend and damage the flexible hood. Instead, you´re supposed to unlatch the hood again and let it fall or slam it, they are designed to do that and they will survive that.
Not trying to be annoying, just something that I´ve just learned recently, video is great anyway :D
It did indeed feel unnatural to press it that hard. I tried dropping it like I normally do, but it just didn’t close by itself. And I didn’t know what else to do… 😅 Thanks for watching & the comment! ✌️
Your POVs are amazing Johny. Waiting for more videos !!
Thanks so much, hope to do one every month 🤞😅
Wow, that's amazing!😎
it is. Didn't expect it to be that powerful!
Ik heb eindelijk zo'n geweldig kanaal gevonden waar je geen zelfvoldane onzin praat en je eigen rotzooi doet. Een zeer goede en efficiënte manier om de auto binnen een redelijke tijd (maximaal 10 minuten) te presenteren. Nogmaals bedankt, nog een fan voor het kanaal!
Love how you drive it! I also drove it like that and loved the car. It's a little too expensive for me right now. But my absolute dream car. Makes so much fun to throw it around corners and with the fake engine sound. It makes so much more fun. Love that car!
Please Do the Smart Fortwo next
Do they still make that? Loved the Smart Fortwo Brabus, but this new smart Brabus really is something else! 🥳🚀
You've got the best POV videos on CZcams!!! 😍 .... but someday I will catch up with you 😄
Love that car so much ❤
Awesome 🤩
I love it!
Me too! 🥳
Good video 👍 thank you 😊
Thanks for watching & commenting, glad you liked it! 🙏
Love your videos.
Minor correction: Smart is now joint venture between Geely and Mercedes Group (50/50%)
love your videos Johny
Thanks! ✨🫶✨
Excelent video! Could you do the same with the Volvo EX30 and/or the BMW IX2? That would be awesome!
I got mine here in the UK on October 4th in the same colour, now done 3,000 miles. Love every minute of driving it. Real 0-60 mph 3.7 seconds quarter mile 12.1 seconds at the flat out speed of 112 mph.
Happy for you. Considered the new Countryman?
@@cb4675 no but it’s a similar size car.
Nice review, enjoyed it more than some “professional” ones. The Smart #1 has me perplexed, when I first saw it I didn’t like it much but now it look better. Not seen one on the road yet. Will test drive it and the EX30
Nice videos! I can't wait for the new Renault 5 E-Tech EV! Looking forword for that when it's available.
Looking forward to that one! 😍
The little fox is so cute
It is! 🥰
Great video as usual, but you forgot to do the start-up (unless I skipped it by accident).
oh wow impressive horsepower!
crazy right... never expected this on a smart! 🚀
Lets go👀
🥳
Love the video, why not drive a bit older model, people could see the comparison of other car plus buying their first car, looking for the next one 🔥
Good idea, I’ll try to do that with my 2021 V300 bus vs. the 2024 facelift as a test. 👌
Wow
Crazy right! 😄
Please do the mg4 xpower AWD and the interesting Mazda with the rotax engine as a generator extendig range. Thanks
You look like you had fun.
I did! 👌😄
I dont like Smart that much, but i have to say that one looks pretty nice^^
This one is epic fun!
Can you do chery tiggo 8 pro max?
Didn’t like it that much on my very short one hour test drive. Felt slightly disconnected because of throttle response and couldn’t get a regen configuration that didn’t make me feel slightly car sick. Didn’t have engine sounds when I test drove(mid last year). Maybe I missed it or it’s a software patch? Looks way better when you’re driving it!
Even now the development process felt unfinished, with the app being unavailable. But yeah, it is quite disconnected, like a lot of EV’s… nevertheless I had a lot of fun with it, one of the few electric cars that really made me smile while driving.
did u upgrade the tires?
No, it's a test car, all standard!
the augmented sound seems way better than the one in the ioniq n
The most convincing one yet, it makes you believe you’re driving a car with an engine 😄
@@johnnypovdrives it sounds really good i cant believe a smart is actually on the top of my list if i ever had to buy an ev 😆
Both Smart #1 and #3 BRABUS has the Rocket Launch? (Launch Control)
I have no idea. Is that a thing? Because I didn’t know, I just floored it 😂
Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer le sens d'un Brabus électrique 🤔?
can you do kia ev9?
I’d love to, but I don’t have a contact at KIA Be 🇧🇪
Hey hello I’m tho from Belgium I’m from Bruxelles-Capitale in Anderlecht
Salut & bienvenue. Content de voir des Belges ici! ✌️😄🇧🇪
Bonjour can u do one tour in my house in the lpivestream address rue DE dilbeek 104
Unfortunately it has nothing to do with smart anymore, but it's still cool
I know right… I loved the original smart, but I was pleasantly surprised by this new one!
And? Can you not accept they change their strategy? Many people say that! Don't understand why! Smart#2 may replace the For2 please wait
Duh… BB (Big Brand) Jonny 😅
1:44
Yesss, only the BBest BBrands for Johnny! 👌😄
@@johnnypovdrivesHah dump voice command 😁.
todo dos os dias chove ai
Yep… welcome to Belgium. 😅
Guess the 50% Mercedes owns got forgotten in the mix. ;) (Geely's platform and factory, Mercedes' Design.)
Not forgotten, sacrificed. The 50% Daimler part was too difficult to explain in one line (who the h3ll is Daimler?). But I surely will give the Mercedes design team some credit when I review the next smart!
@@johnnypovdrives Did you just who Daimler? ;) Only the creator of the automobile. (I say that with a smile, not in anger, a smol friendly diss.)
@@fryke Appreciated LOL, I can take it. I know who Daimler is, but it's hard to explain in one sentence to an audience that isn't per se into cars like us, but rather looking for info about the next car they might be buying. I that makes sense :).
Hi, is it possible to make a channel with Ukrainian dubbing of your videos?
Why dubbing? I don’t have dubbing in any language at this time. There should be Ukrainian subtitles, no?
Well its probably amazing for a person living in the city but for me…. That thing looks like a car straight out of a chinese factory
😄 a lot of them do imo… but I think this one isn’t that bad
How will they sell a car if the closing the bonnet is not idiot proof?
Нафига ты издеваешься над капотом? Не проще просто его хлопнуть?😅
i feel like they make these car voice assistants dumb on purpose 🤔
😂
The car is a little smart, but not too much
no foldable display
That smart is not really smart 😂
It has its moments 😄
