So looking at EV database, it says the #1 and EX30 have batteries with different useable capacities and the #1 is taller and slightly longer (I presume changing the aero efficiency of the car), so it might explain some of the range differences even though they’re essentially the same platform, along with perhaps more aerodynamic wheels on the EX30. It’s still amazing how different they are considering they’re the same platform.
I can’t believe how you can miss all the features that the Smart has above the volvo The electric sun blind is a must have, Matrix LED headlights, 22kW onboard AC charging, puddle lights, ambient lighting, 13 speaker stereo with subwoofer, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, memory electric and heated seats with lumbar support, ski hatch, rear seat armrests with cup holders, and no the batteries are not the same size. I’m comparing all models except the base model. In other words the Launch addition, premium and Brabus versions. Also towing capacity 800kg or 1,600kW with a braked trailer. These cars are almost the same price but the Smart is worth €10k more with its packed features. Coming shortly in the next OTA update.. The following features have been optimized or fixed in this OTA: 01 Improved frequency of traffic announcements via radio 02 Enhanced CarPlay system stability 03 Upgraded trailer hitch module 04 Fixed error for scheduled charging 05 Enhanced energy recovery management 06 Improved ESP function 07 Updated vehicle safety protocols 08 Stabilized automatic headlight functions 09 Fixed error in valet mode. 01 Enable low energy regeneration 02 Add simulation sounds and sound effect modes 03 smart companion Plus V2L
My EX30 twin motor Ultra has 22kw AC, puddle lights, ambient lights, 9 speaker stereo with subwoofer in the boot, memory electric heated seats with lumbar support and heated steering wheel and Android Auto and CarPlay are coming and can also tow 1600kg.
Maybe avoid words like Childish and Grown-up next time in your review. If Smart sees your video and they probably will wonder if you'll ever get another car from them or get invited to any of their events due to that. If you want to do this properly as in a RUclips reviewer as your profession(ie: Press) then you'll need to look at vocabulary of car reviewers, just saying.
Love our EX30 twin motor performance in the Ultra trim.
Excellent videos! Keep up the good work!

The Smart #1 gets less publicity than the Volvo but is a much better choice.
Too bad they don't sell the Smart #1 in North America! Thanks for the video 🙂
Smart simply looks wierd

Volvo is so much more car and nothing is missing what Smart could offer.
