Smart Lease

The Smart brand was once synonymous with small urban vehicles - but the manufacturer is now thinking big and has moved into a new era.

Smart is jointly owned by Mercedes-Benz and China’s Geely, with Geely also the brains behind well-established marques like Volvo, Polestar and Lotus.

With such expertise driving Smart forwards, it’s no surprise that more capable vehicles are coming to market.

The recent Smart ForTwo and Smart ForFour satisfied a particular niche, behind fully electric vehicles designed exclusively for the cut and thrust of urban traffic.

The Smart #1, however, offers something enticing for a much wider spread of lease customers.

The #1 is a stylish hatchback-SUV crossover with extremely healthy amounts of power - even entry level models have 272 bhp - and a range of up to 273 miles between charges.

There’s even a full-on performance variant, the Brabus #1, which has enough power to ensure that it’s quicker to accelerate than a Porsche Taycan 4S.

The Smart #3, meanwhile, represents the firm’s first ever SUV-coupe.

The #3 doesn’t just offer more space and practicality than ever before with a Smart, it also features a sumptuous interior filled with halo lighting and a premium sound system.

Smart is also now a committed all-electric automotive and technology brand, which means all of its cars attract a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rate of just 2%, fixed until 2025, for company car business lease customers.

Smart Frequently Asked Questions

If you need an electric vehicle that won’t break the bank, look no further than the ‘EQ’ range of cars from Smart, because you’ll find some of the most affordable EVs in the UK. 

Smart is a German firm owned by Mercedes-Benz and China’s Geely - the latter of which also has a major stake in the prestigious Swedish manufacturer Polestar. And since 2022, Smart has been creating purely-electric vehicles, with the two-seat ‘EQ fortwo’ and the four-seat ‘EQ forfour’.

The most popular Smart car is also its most affordable - the Smart EQ fortwo. As of the middle of 2022, it was the cheapest EV to buy new in the UK, coming in much cheaper than the Fiat 500 Electric or the Nissan Leaf.

You get a range of up to 80 miles between charges, a top speed of 81mph and while there’s only room for two people, there’s a decent 350 litres of luggage space. The EQ forfour gets the same 17.6 kWh battery as the EQ fortwo, and can be recharged to 80 per cent in around three hours. 

The relaunched Smart EQ fortwo and the EQ forfour haven’t yet been tested by safety assessors Euro NCAP, but the old petrol variant was awarded four out of five stars back in 2014, which proves just how tough these city cars are.

The Smart EQs have something called a ‘Tridion safety cell’, built to keep occupants safe. There’s also radar-assisted ‘Active Brake Assist’ and standard-fit crosswind assist to keep you on the straight and narrow. 

The most affordable Smart to lease is the EQ fortwo, but the EQ forfour is virtually the same price as its smaller sibling - so choosing between the two is a no-brainer if you need the extra space that the forfour affords. There’s also a cabrio version of the EQ fortwo, which features an electrically-retractable canvas roof. 

Leasing a Smart EQ makes a lot of sense if you’re looking to drive an electric vehicle for the least amount of money possible. While the range between charges falls slightly short of more expensive competitors, with the ability to travel up to 80 miles before you need to stop and plug in, it’s more than suitable for criss-crossing busy cities and will thrive in the urban environment. 

If you’re looking at a Smart EQ lease, you should also take a look at vehicles from MG, Fiat, Nissan, Mazda, Peugeot and Renault.
