The Smart 1 has made its first appearance in Malaysia. Designed by Mercedes-Benz, built by Geely and sold by Proton, the funky electric SUV will go on sale in Q4 2023.

We’ve been hearing about Smart impending return to Malaysia for a year and a half now, but we’re finally getting our first taste of what that will look like. Proton New Energy Technology , a subsidiary of Proton, has revealed the exterior of the Smart #1 Premium that will go on sale sometime in the fourth quarter of the year. The car is Smart’s first new model since Mercedes-Benz sold 50% of the brand to Geely in 2019, and as such it has elements from both companies.

Other details include the clamshell bonnet, flush door handles, frameless windows and a floating roof design. The latter is finished off by the Smart logos at the rear corners; these are illuminated, as is the front grille. The Premium model rides on 19-inch alloy wheels in an aerodynamic flat-faced design.

You’ll also find a slim 9.2-inch instrument display, a Qi wireless charger, a cooled armrest console, a 13-speaker Beats sound system and a hands-free powered tailgate. The Premium model’s party piece, however, is a giant panoramic glass roof that, in stark contrast to the Volvo C40 and Jaguar I-Pace, comes with a powered sunshade.
