Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose Premium at RM209,800. It has the same 100 kWh battery and five-seat layout as Brabus, costs RM50,000 less and delivers the longer 590 km range. Pay RM259,800 for Brabus only if 637 hp is the priority; it gives up 50 km of quoted range for a 279 hp advantage. Both use a single-ratio automatic.

smart #5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The #5 Premium puts 358 hp and a 590 km range in a C-segment electric SUV, but it is not a budget route into EV ownership. Its entry point sits far above the RM80,000 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3 and RM100,000 BYD Atto 2, though it is close to the RM208,888 Volvo EX30. Brabus is a costly, power-led step up.
