Now, following the brand's launch of its new electric models, smart magazine presents a comprehensive multimedia story demonstrating that tomorrow’s sustainable city is already tangible, no longer a science-fiction daydream.

As a car brand, smart has been actively reshaping urban mobility ever since their first revolutionary compact model was introduced in 1998. Their cars offer sustainable solutions to mobility in a compact package suitable for dense urban areas, while at the same time creating a sense of comfort and flexibility. Even in a country known for its massively sized automobiles like the US, the tiny car has attracted a lot of attention. In October of this year, smart revealed their new smart electric drive range at Mondial de l’Automobile 2016 in Paris, becoming the first car brand to offer an all electric version of every model in the line-up.
