Smart #2 Debuts Through Street Murals Ahead of Paris Premiere

Smart has revealed the exterior design of its upcoming #2 electric city car through large-scale murals ahead of its official debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

Smart has unveiled an unconventional preview of its upcoming Smart #2, using large-scale street murals in major cities around the world to reveal the design of its next all-electric city car. The creative campaign offers the first clear look at the production model months before its official global debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

The compact two-seater is expected to become the spiritual successor to the iconic Fortwo while introducing a more modern and premium design.

Street Art Reveals the Smart #2 Design

Instead of relying on camouflage-covered prototypes, Smart chose to showcase the Smart #2 through murals displayed in cities including Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires and Melbourne.

The artwork reveals several production design elements, including:

• Compact two-seat body
• Upright proportions
• Short front and rear overhangs
• Wide fenders
• Full-width LED lighting signatures
• Floating roof design
• Large glass surfaces

The exterior maintains the compact footprint associated with previous Smart city cars while adopting a more muscular and contemporary appearance.

According to the preview, the cabin is expected to offer a more premium environment than previous Smart city cars, featuring modern materials, an open interior layout and improved passenger space.

Although final specifications have not yet been announced, the vehicle is positioned as an urban-focused battery-electric model developed for efficient city driving.
