Verdict
At RM169,000 versus RM209,000, the Pro delivers the same 268 hp, 343 Nm rear-drive performance and 6.7-second 0-100 km/h time, so it is not the slow-spec choice. But the Premium’s 66 kWh battery stretches range from 315 km to 440 km, while its 22 kW AC charging rate beats 7.2 kW. For Malaysian buyers who regularly travel beyond town or can use higher-power AC charging, the Premium’s extra 125 km of claimed range is the reason to pay more; otherwise, the Pro is the sharper-value entry point.
Pick the Pro if you want the same 268 hp performance and core driver-assistance kit for RM40,000 less, and 315 km of range suits your routine.
Pick the Premium if the 440 km range, 22 kW AC charging, front and rear parking sensors, head-up display and ventilated passenger seat justify the extra outlay.

Pro vs Premium FAQ
Is the smart #1 Pro or smart #1 Premium better?
The Premium is better equipped and more usable for longer trips, thanks chiefly to its 66 kWh battery, 440 km range and 22 kW AC charging. The Pro is the better buy if 315 km range is enough, as performance and core safety systems are the same.
What is the price difference?
The smart #1 Premium costs RM40,000 more than the Pro: RM209,000 against RM169,000.
Do the Pro and Premium have different performance?
No. Both use one rear-mounted motor producing 268 hp and 343 Nm, reach 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and have a 180 km/h top speed. The Premium’s advantage is battery capacity, range, AC charging and equipment rather than acceleration.
How long does charging take?
The Pro's 49.0 kWh battery takes about 6.8 hours for a full AC charge, and an estimated 25 minutes from 10% to 80% on a DC fast charger at its 150 kW peak. The Premium's 66.0 kWh battery takes about 3.0 hours for a full AC charge, and an estimated 30 minutes from 10% to 80% on a DC fast charger at its 150 kW peak.
