Yamaha Aerox 2026 Updated Model Revealed

The smart #6 EHD is set to open for pre-sales at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, with a starting price of 189,900 yuan. Alongside it, the smart  #2 concept car will make its debut, showcasing the brand’s forward-looking design and innovation.

The introduction of these two models represents a significant step forward for the smart brand, signaling its transition from a phase of classic revitalization into a new era focused on luxury and expansion. This dual launch also marks the beginning of smart’s broader product strategy for 2026.

According to current plans, the smart #6 EHD will be officially launched in mid-June. Meanwhile, the production version of the smart #2 is expected to make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

As smart’s largest three-box plug-in hybrid model to date, the smart #6 EHD officially opened for pre-sales at this auto show, with prices starting from 189,900 yuan.

EXTERIOR:

The Mercedes-Benz smart #6 EHD, crafted by the global design team at Mercedes-Benz, carries forward the brand’s “Sensual Sharpness” design philosophy, delivering a sleek and refined hatchback silhouette. The front fascia adopts a biomimetic “shark-kiss” continuous air duct design, where vertically arranged LED headlights are seamlessly embedded within the airflow channel. Combined with an integrated front bumper, this design enhances both aerodynamic performance and visual appeal.

Additionally, a high-precision LiDAR unit is mounted on the roof, providing robust hardware support for advanced intelligent driving capabilities.

From the side, the new model measures 4,906 mm in length, 1,922 mm in width, and 1,508 mm in height, with a 2,926 mm wheelbase, placing it firmly in the mid-size sedan segment. It adopts flush, hidden door handles and is available with 19- or 20-inch wheels, complemented by yellow brake calipers that add a sporty accent.

At the rear, a full-width taillight design mirrors the front, creating a cohesive visual signature. A large, electrically adjustable rear spoiler can be raised or lowered automatically, improving aerodynamic efficiency while reinforcing the car’s performance-oriented character.

INTERIOR:

Inside the cabin, the center console adopts a dual-screen layout, combining a central infotainment display with a passenger-side entertainment screen, both featuring a distinctive rounded design. A floating, retractable speaker positioned at the center further enhances the sense of advanced technology.

The seats are upholstered in HDD quilted composite material and premium Nappa leather, available in three color themes: Regulated Yellow, Shadow Black, and Wilderness Brown. Paired with 256-color ambient lighting, the interior delivers a refined blend of luxury and personalization.

For audio, the system is developed in collaboration with Sennheiser, featuring a 20-speaker 7.1.4-channel setup that provides an immersive, high-fidelity listening experience.

In terms of intelligent features, the new model is equipped with a roof-mounted LiDAR system combined with multi-sensor fusion, enabling advanced driver-assistance capabilities. It supports urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA), allowing for intelligent obstacle avoidance in complex traffic environments, as well as automated parking and other scenario-based driving functions.

Additional highlights include a 3.3 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) external power supply, making it suitable for a variety of use cases such as outdoor camping and emergency power needs, further broadening the vehicle’s practicality.

POWERTRAIN:

In terms of performance, the Smart #6 EHD is powered by a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, delivering a maximum engine output of 120 kW and a combined system output of 320 kW (around 435 horsepower). It is paired with a dedicated 3-speed DHT hybrid transmission, providing smooth and efficient power delivery.

For range, the model offers two battery options—20 kWh and 41.46 kWh. Under CLTC conditions, it can achieve up to 285 km of pure electric driving, while the total combined range with a full tank and full charge reaches an impressive 1,810 km. Even when the battery is depleted, fuel consumption remains as low as 3.9 L/100 km, helping to significantly reduce range concerns.
