The Smart #1 (HX11) all-wheel drive marks a new milestone for the Smart brand: As a fully electric compact SUV with up to 428 hp and all-wheel drive, it offers impressive driving performance. The vehicle is based on the modern SEA platform (Sustainable Experience Architecture) from Geely, which was specially developed for electric vehicles. Thanks to a wheelbase of 2.75 metres, the Smart #1 combines a compact exterior length with a spacious interior. With a 66 kWh battery, the SUV achieves a WLTP range of up to 440 km and can be charged with up to 150 kW direct current - charging to 80% takes less than 30 minutes. To further optimise the sporty driving characteristics, the KW coilover suspension V3 is the perfect solution. With a lowering of 35-50 mm on the front axle and 35-55 mm on the rear axle, not only is the look sportier, but the driving behaviour is also significantly more dynamic. The lowered centre of gravity reduces the tendency to roll, which leads to even more precise handling. Why the KW coilover suspension V3? The KW coilover suspension V3 is one of the best-selling and proven performance suspensions on the market. It is characterised by a sophisticated twin-tube damper technology with multi-valve damper cartridge, which enables precise adjustment of the suspension to different driving situations. Thanks to the separately adjustable rebound and compression damping, the riding behaviour can be individually adapted:

- Rebound: Controls the compression and rebound of the vehicle, thus influencing handling and ride comfort. A firmer setting provides more direct feedback and a more stable ride.

- Compression damping: Influences how strongly the suspension reacts to bumps. A softer setting increases traction, while a harder setting ensures reduced body movement in fast bends. Thanks to this technology, the KW V3 offers a perfect balance between sporty driving behaviour and suitability for everyday use - ideal for the powerful yet comfortable Smart #1 all-wheel drive. Another highlight of the KW V3 is the inox-line stainless steel technology, which makes the suspension particularly corrosion-resistant and ensures a long service life. The entire setup was developed with vehicle-specific characteristic curves to ensure optimum tuning for the Smart #1 all-wheel drive.

Advantages of the KW coilover suspension V3 for the Smart #1 (HX11) all-wheel drive:

• Stepless lowering up to 55 mm for a sporty look
• Adjustable rebound and compression damping for customised suspension tuning
• Improved driving dynamics and reduced body roll
• Stainless steel technology for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
• Perfectly tuned for the Smart #1 all-wheel drive with its specific vehicle characteristics
