While most car brands are talking about their offers for the '252' registration period starting on 1 July, Smart is hoping to nab a few buyers before June ends with serious reductions on the Smart #1 crossover. It's called the Clearance Collection, and it runs only for four days this month.
What's the deal?
Pre-registered examples of the Smart #1 are offered for up to 25 per cent off list price, all wearing the '251' registration plate introduced in January this year. What's more, the cars have so-called “delivery mileage” only, which Smart says means fewer than 1,000 kilometres on the clock. They're essentially new, though obviously this deal applies only to existing stock while it lasts.
Where can I buy a Smart #1?
All eight Smart dealers are taking part in the Clearance Collection:
Smart Fitzpatrick's Kildare
Smart Michael Moore in Athlone
Smart Ballsbridge in Dublin
Smart South Dublin in Cabinteely
Smart North Dublin in Cabra
Smart Cork
Smart Frank Hogan in Limerick
Smart Wexford
Remind us again what the Smart #1 is
The Smart #1 is a compact crossover of comparable size to the Hyundai Kona and Skoda Elroq, though prices (before any discounts) start from just €25,316. There are four trim levels to choose from - Pro, Pro+, Premium and Brabus - and two battery sizes.
Depending on model, the Smart #1 can officially travel up to 440 kilometres on a charge, while the range-topping Brabus model gets a dual-motor, high-performance powertrain producing up to 428hp.
