Smart is back in the two-seater business. The Mercedes-Benz and Geely joint venture unveiled the all-electric Smart #2 at the Paris Motor Show today, with a 35.8 kWh LFP battery, up to 290 km (180 miles) of WLTP range, and a starting price of €19,990.

That’s more than double the range of the last Smart EQ Fortwo, which never got DC fast charging. Early orders open in Europe tomorrow, and deliveries start in 2027.

AITO will start selling cars in Europe in the fall of 2027. The Chinese luxury SUV brand, built by Seres with Huawei’s technology, confirmed the timing at the Paris Motor Show today, where it showed the AITO 9, 8, 7, and 6.

AITO sold 426,000 vehicles in 2025, more than any other Chinese luxury brand. Now it has a date for Europe. But you won’t find the word “Huawei” anywhere in its Paris press kit.
