The Smart #2 electric car has sold out its initial European launch allocation within 14 days, exhausting supply of the limited Couture Edition months ahead of scheduled customer deliveries in the second quarter of 2027.
Key points
- The limited-run Couture Edition of the Smart #2 sold out across European markets in two weeks.
- Pricing for the new two-seat model begins at €19,990.
- Customer deliveries across Europe are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2027.
- The vehicle measures 2.75 metres in length, serving as the direct electric successor to the discontinued Fortwo.
Rapid European demand for the Couture Edition
Smart opened reservations for the launch model across European markets in mid-October. Electrive reported that the vehicle, designated the Couture Edition, found buyers for every planned production slot within a fortnight.
The quick uptake highlights strong appetite for compact urban transport as European electric vehicle registrations reach record levels. While manufacturers have focused on larger crossovers and sport utility vehicles in recent years, city-focused two-seaters remain rare among battery-powered line-ups.
Pricing and dimensions
The Smart #2 measures 2.75 metres in length, keeping the compact footprint established by its petrol-powered and electric predecessors. The car seats two occupants and serves as the official successor to the Fortwo, which ended production after several generations on European roads.
Smart set the base price at €19,990. That price point places the vehicle among the most affordable production electric models announced for the European market, where sub-€20,000 battery vehicles remain limited.
Delivery timeline
Smart plans to begin delivering the Couture Edition to European customers during the second quarter of 2027. The company has not yet detailed production figures for the launch batch or confirmed when standard production variants will become available for order.
