smart #2 hatchback and #6 EHD luxury sedan launch roadmap

On January 25, smart confirmed that the prototype of the smart #2 hatchback will make its global debut at Auto China 2026 in April. The company also announced that the #6 EHD, its first luxury liftback sedan, is scheduled for launch in the first half of 2026, marking a significant expansion of its product portfolio.
smart #2 hatchback built on Electric Compact Architecture
Designed by Mercedes-Benz, the smart #2 hatchback is developed on the new Electric Compact Architecture platform, which is dedicated to ultra-compact electric vehicles. The architecture is engineered to support efficient packaging, urban-focused dimensions, and agile driving characteristics suitable for dense city environments.

• The model adopts a 2-door, 2-seater configuration, reinforcing its positioning as a compact urban mobility solution.

With its minimalist layout and compact footprint, the smart #2 hatchback is aimed at customers seeking a premium yet space-efficient electric hatchback.
smart #6 EHD targets luxury liftback segment

• The #6 EHD introduces a liftback body style combined with a sporty rear wing, delivering a design that balances elegance with dynamic proportions.

The vehicle stretches to nearly five metres in length, positioning it clearly within the luxury sedan category rather than the compact segment traditionally associated with the brand.

• Powering the model is the NordThor 2.0 hybrid system, which enables a combined driving range exceeding 1,800 km.

This extended range highlights smart’s focus on blending performance, efficiency, and long-distance usability as it enters the premium liftback sedan market.
Together, the smart #2 hatchback and the #6 EHD reflect the brand’s dual strategy of strengthening its urban electric offerings while simultaneously moving into higher-end vehicle segments ahead of 2026 launches.
