Verdict
The smart #1 Pro costs RM169,000, while the Premium is RM40,000 dearer. Both deliver 268 hp, 343 Nm and a 6.7-second 0-100 km/h time, so there is no performance gain. The Premium’s case is daily usability: its 66 kWh battery raises claimed range from 315 km to 440 km, and 22 kW AC charging is markedly faster than 7.2 kW. It also adds projector headlamps, a head-up display and parking sensors. For buyers who mainly charge at home and do shorter trips, the Pro remains the rational saving.
Pick the smart #1 Pro if RM40,000 saved matters more than the Premium’s extra 125 km of claimed range, 22 kW AC charging and added convenience kit.
Pick the smart #1 Premium if you want the 66 kWh battery, 440 km claimed range and the equipment that makes the #1 easier to live with every day.
