Smart 5 Electric SUV unveiled as a rugged rival to the Tesla Model Y
Smart car, known for its compact city cars, is now entering the mid-size SUV market with the electric Smart #5. This model, the brand's largest and most versatile yet, boasts ample interior space with a length of 4,705mm and a wheelbase of 2,900mm. Designed by Mercedes-Benz, the Smart #5 has a rugged and boxy look, unique lighting design, and floating wheel caps. The Summit Edition comes with an 'Adventurers' Collection package inspired by the Land Rover Defender, adding off-road features. With its practicality and distinctive design, the Smart #5 aims to make a mark in the competitive SUV market.
For buyers following Tesla in Cyprus, this is the kind of update worth weighing before the next purchase.
The Smart #5 boasts a high-tech interior filled with top-of-the-line features, including a 10.3-inch ultra HD driver's display, two 13-inch AMOLED 2.5 displays on the dashboard, and a 25.6-inch augmented-reality head-up display. It also includes a powerful Sennheiser sound system with over 2,000 watts of peak output and a generative AI voice assistant for answering questions. The cabin offers 34 storage compartments and all seats can be folded down to create extra space for a bed. With the rear seats folded, luggage capacity reaches 1,530 litres, and there's a 72-litre 'frunk' for additional storage under the bonnet. Technical details are limited, but the Smart #5 is powered by a 100kWh battery providing a range of over 460 miles on China's CLTC test cycle. Charging from 10 to 80 percent only takes 15 minutes thanks to the #5's 800-volt architecture and fast-charging capability.
The Smart #5's performance details have not been officially announced, but rumors indicate that it will come with both single and dual-motor powertrains. Potential options include single-motor versions with 335bhp and 386bhp, a dual-motor variant with all-wheel drive and 579bhp, and a high-performance model with a maximum of 637bhp. Pricing information has not yet been revealed.
The Smart #5 is in competition with other leading electric SUVs on the market.
Irakli was excellent. Above and beyond everywhere. The easiest car buying process I’ve had, and that's saying something since it was an import rather than a physical dealer. Everything was upfront from the beginning: price, fees, timing, what needed to happen, and what I needed to do. No weird negotiation, no surprises, no feeling like...

What to know about importing a car to Cyprus from the UK or Japan, or Australia
We import vehicles from the UK, Japan, and Australia that meet Cyprus requirements for vehicle age, emissions standards, and registration eligibility. You can choose a vehicle yourself or let us source the right one for you — based on your budget, body type, mileage, and spec.
It depends on the origin. UK delivery takes between 10 and 30 working days. Japan and Australia typically require 16+ weeks.
A deposit secures your vehicle and locks in the terms. The exact amount depends on the vehicle and sourcing region. All costs are detailed in your agreement before you pay anything.
Yes. Before securing your vehicle, we carry out a full pre-sale check — vehicle history (HPI), registration status, and any outstanding finance or restrictions. We also request a video walkthrough from the dealer, an inspection report for Approved Used vehicles, or a copy of the auction sheet for vehicles sourced from Japan. Payment to the seller is only made once all checks are confirmed.
We use a clear, milestone-based structure to keep you protected. A 10% deposit secures your commission and starts our search. The main 70% is required only after we review actual photos or videos of the vehicle and verify its history. The final 20% is settled just before arrival in Cyprus (express delivery requires full upfront payment). Every detail is clearly outlined in your agreement so there are never any surprises.
Marine transit insurance is available on request and tailored to your vehicle's route and value. We arrange the policy for your vehicle so it is fully covered from loading to arrival in Cyprus.
To sign the contract, you'll typically need a passport (if you've been in Cyprus less than 6 months) or an ARC (Aliens Registration Certificate), plus an insurance cover note. We can help arrange insurance if needed. Everything else — purchase, logistics, customs, and registration — is handled entirely by us.
Yes. Before payment is made to the seller, your deposit is refundable minus any costs already incurred. Once the commission is confirmed, the vehicle is reserved exclusively for you and taken off the market — so refund terms depend on the stage of the deal and expenses to date. All conditions are agreed upfront in the contract.
Yes. You receive updates at every key stage — purchase confirmation, dispatch, port arrival, customs clearance, and registration. You stay fully in the loop from departure to the moment we hand you the keys.
The bot provides an estimated landed cost based on your vehicle's specifications. The final price is confirmed after the vehicle is verified and the exchange rate is locked on the payment date.
