smart makes its world premiere debut for the all-electric smart #2 at the Paris Motor Show, marking the return of the brand’s iconic two-seater city-car format in an electric era. The company presents the vehicle as a production model and frames the launch as a revival of a long-running model concept.
According to outlets, smart is the electric-car joint venture between Geely and Mercedes-Benz. TechNode reports that early ordering is set to begin in Europe and China, with local pricing and availability to be announced separately. PR Newswire describes the event as a major global reveal, while also noting the project’s design ties to Mercedes-Benz’s broader design team.
The coverage aligns on the timing (Oct. 12, 2026) and the location (Paris Motor Show), while differing mainly in emphasis—PR Newswire focuses on the “return” narrative, and TechNode adds details on ordering plans and regional rollout.
