smart #5 Challenges Douro Valley’s Winding Roads and Steep Ascents

Intelligent innovation for all the senses at your fingertips
At the heart of the smart #5's digital ecosystem is the latest-generation AMD V2000 chipset, powering an intuitive and responsive human-machine interface (HMI). This advanced system features a re-designed 25.6-inch Augmented Reality head-up display⁶, a 10.25-inch Full HD digital instrument cluster, and two 13-inch OLED center and passenger screens⁷, ensuring a seamless and interactive user experience. The enhanced AI-supported voice control, paired with the new digital avatar "Leo", provides guidance and hands-free control of various vehicle functions. In addition, the new operating system (smart OS 2.0) offers optimized EV routing and a new video center that enables video streaming in the vehicle. Thanks to the 3D engine from Unreal, the display graphics are very smooth, detailed, and allow easy operating of all features of the digital user interfaces.

For an unparalleled audio experience, the new smart #5 is equipped with the Sennheiser Signature Sound System, featuring 20 high-performance speakers⁸. During the test drive, the system's capabilities were fully showcased, enhancing the driving experience with its rich, immersive sound. The combination of the lifting speaker on the dashboard and synchronized ambient light provided an audio-visual atmosphere that elevated the journey navigating the winding roads of Portugal.
To ensure a personalized soundscape, users can fine-tune the audio to their preferences with a range of customization options, including Sound Effect Adjustment, Immersion Level, Bass Level, and Sound Focus Zones. With a maximum output of 1,190 Watts and onboard speakers designed to align with multiple input formats - from Stereo and Surround to a full 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup - the system can provide several acoustic experiences at the very highest level. Dolby Atmos spatial audio technology adds enhanced depth and dimensionality, allowing specially mixed tracks to create a spacious, immersive soundstage that surrounds the listener from every direction, delivering an elevated in-car listening experience.
