Thinking about a Smart car? They've really carved out a niche for themselves, haven't they? Especially if you're navigating city streets or just appreciate a car that’s big on personality and small on footprint. It’s no wonder people are curious about what’s out there, particularly when it comes to finding one for sale.
Looking at the current market, both new and used Smart cars offer some compelling options. For those eyeing the latest models, you'll see the 2024 Smart #3 popping up. These are often listed as 'demo' models, meaning they’ve been used for showcasing but are still practically new. Prices can vary quite a bit, with some listed around the $54,000 to $59,000 mark, sometimes with significant price drops from their original sticker. They’re electric, of course, boasting a decent range of around 435km, and come with automatic transmissions. You'll find these in different trims like the Pro+ Wagon RWD, and they’re appearing in various states, like Queensland and New South Wales.
There’s also the 2024 Smart #1 Premium Hatchback RWD, also appearing as a demo model. This one sits in a similar price bracket, around $54,988 drive-away, and has a slightly longer electric range of about 440km. It’s interesting to see these models available with relatively low kilometers, suggesting they’re a great way to get into a nearly-new electric vehicle.
Beyond the immediate 'demo' options, there are also future possibilities, like the 2026 Smart #1 Pro+ Hatchback RWD, which is available to order. This hints at the ongoing development and availability of Smart vehicles.
If you're leaning towards the used market, especially in the UK, the landscape opens up even further, often at more accessible price points. The Smart #3 models are appearing here too, with examples like the 66kWh Premium Auto 5dr priced around £29,995, having covered just over 1,400 miles. There are also the more compact Smart Fortwo and Forfour models, which have been popular for years. You can find petrol versions, like the 0.9 Turbo Prime Sport Premium Plus 90ps Manual Fortwo-coupe from 2019 for around £12,000, or electric variants like the 60kW EQ Prime Prem Plus 17kWh 2dr Auto Fortwo from 2018 for just under £12,000. These older models, while having higher mileage, still offer that signature Smart agility and efficiency.
What’s really striking is the variety. Whether you're after the latest electric SUV-like #3, a nimble #1 hatchback, or a classic, characterful Fortwo or Forfour, there’s a Smart car out there. The appeal of their compact size for city living, combined with their increasingly sophisticated electric powertrains, makes them a really smart choice for many drivers. It’s worth exploring what’s available, as you might just find the perfect fit for your needs and budget.
