The #6 also uses Geely's NordThor Hybrid 2.0 plug-in hybrid system.^[1] Rumors of the Smart brand making a sedan began spreading in February of 2025.^[2] This was confirmed in November of 2025 when the first spyshots of the #6 surfaced on the internet.^[3] It is expected to rival the Tesla Model 3 and the seventh-generation BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid.^[4]

The length of the #6 EHD is comparable to the short-wheelbase version of the second-generation BMW 7 Series. It is also as long as two first-generation ForTwos.^[5] Autoblog has described the design of the #6 as reminiscent of the Xiaomi SU7 without the "McLaren-style front fascia" of the SU7.^[6]
