Smart and CG Motors signed a business cooperation agreement on the 23rd of September 2023 in Hangzhou. As per the agreement, the first batch of smart #1 will soon enter the local market in Nepal. Smart (stylized as smart) is a German automotive marque. Smart Automobile Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by Mercedes-Benz AG and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2019. CG Corp Global is one of Nepal's trusted conglomerates with more than 150 years of history. CG Motors is a new energy vehicle enterprise of CG Corp Global Group. Through the conclusion of the business cooperation agreement between Smart and CG Motors, a new generation of smart pure electric models will enter the local market in Nepal for the first time, providing local users with new luxury and fun travel options.
The first of these cars will be smart #1, the #1 (pronounced “hashtag one”) is the first product of the joint venture. The car is fitted with a 62kWh battery that is good for up to 440 km. The entry-level Smart #1 has a 268bhp electric motor driving its rear wheels and is quicker than any of its direct rivals. It can officially do 0-100kph in a zippy 6.7 seconds. A 150kW maximum charging speed means the #1 can get a 10-80% top-up in as little as 27 minutes. It’s similar in size to the BYD Atto 3, the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Kia Niro EV and the Peugeot e-2008. This means interior space and practicality should not be an issue. The #1 was awarded the full five-star rating by safety experts Euro NCAP when they tested it in 2022. What’s also very impressive is the fact that you get lots of safety equipment as standard, including automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and front and rear cross-traffic alert. We do not know exactly when the #1 will drive onto our roads but stick with us for any updates.
