Smart has unveiled the first sketches of the #3, its second model after the #1. The smart #3 is characterised by a sporty, avant-garde style. As with the #1, it was created by the Mercedes-Benz global design team. “With the intention of offering a dynamic and sporty interpretation of the sensual producty concept, the exterior design of the smart #3 is defined by organic lines and athletic curves. This attraction of opposites, muscular yet elegantly sensual and perfectly balanced, makes the design an important milestone in the evolution of smart’s core value of premiumness,” said Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Mercedes-Benz AG. “The design of the #3 is emotionally reassuring, it attracts and even excites at first glance.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The styling of the new #3 is defined by numerous details. At the front, the slender LED headlights merge with a bold shark nose and a wide A-shaped grille. On the flanks, the two-tone roof meets the beltline which – soft and seamless – connects the A and C-pillars, shaping an elegant and sporty fastback silhouette. The large rims add a further element of power, while the conical cooling ducts leave no doubt as to the performance intentions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":58136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[1157,1886],"class_list":["post-58144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-smart-en","tag-smart3-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-09 13:13:47","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
