Smart Cars Has Just Revealed Their First Sedan With A Very Familiar Design & Look

SAUDI ARABIA: For those who don’t know, Smart is the name of an automotive brand known for making microcars. The brand has recently revealed its first true sedan and even shared plans that it will expand its lineup to include crossovers and SUVs. The Smart sedan will be known as the #6 and will contain advanced tech, marking a milestone for the brand.

However, the newly revealed model has come with some controversies to say the least. The #6 looks eerily similar to another car that has made headlines recently. The Zeekr 007 is a luxury sedan. The interesting thing here is that the Zeekr is owned by the Geely Group. What else does the Geely Group own? Smart Cars. That’s not all. This is the official explanation from the brand that’s to be considered. The controversy lies ahead.

The style and design of the #6 looks a lot like the Xiaomi SU7 without the McLaren-style front fascia. The SU7 from Xiaomi is a popular model and it has garnered over 50,000 orders in just 30 minutes back when it was launched in 2023.

Smart Car #6: Highlights

Despite the similarities, there are a lot of new features with the Smart Car #6. It is a midsize sedan with a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain. The maximum power output of the car is going to be 160hp. The car also gets a LiDAR sensor mounted on the roofline. A fascinating addition to the car is that it gets rear spoiler, which only shows up when you’re driving at higher speeds. It neatly tucks into the body of the car at lower speeds.
