Smart # 1 arrives in Italy. Is not serious; still on the market in dealerships, for that one will need & agrave; wait, but yes & egrave; presented in mode static in the pre-production version which confirms the final design for exteriors and interiors. So yes & egrave; said about the new program of the company, with the smart changing from the classic two-seater we are used to, despite an anticipation of this direction was already; arrived a long time ago with the debut of the forfour and the SUV concept.
The new smart # 1 & egrave; a crossover that remains compact but significantly increases the space on board: the platform makes the passenger compartment more comfortable; livable, the trunk & egrave; in line with the competition and with a wheelbase of 2.75 meters there & # 39; & egrave; room for four comfy adults if you don't go too far off the average height.
The retractable handles, the frameless doors (even if more traditional than those of the concept) and the panoramic glass roof remain. Inside is a 12.8 & quot; touch display. Full HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels), now inevitable LED ambient lights and 60:40 folding seats with a sliding sofa that moves up to 13 cm to give more; luggage compartment space. Outside, on the other hand, the headlights are Matrix LEDs.
TECHNOLOGY AND SMARTPHONES 
Now the direction for the future of cars & egrave; tracked: the software will revolutionize them; exactly as & egrave; success with apps in the transition from mobile phones to smartphones. Many complained that the cell phone had to be used only to call and send messages, for everything else there was the computer that was much more; comfortable. Yet, today, the smartphone is; at the center of our life. It will be the same for the new generation cars, where the apps will integrate becoming services that, in one way or another, marketing will make us & agrave; perceive as fundamental.
Some will really be, others will be a convenience; which we will not be able to do without, still others will be aesthetic charms or games to pass the time. Anyway, the road is; this, and smart # 1 interprets it in the right way because & eacute; places a respectable hardware and software platform.
The cloud services are those of Microsoft and the chipset & egrave; a Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P . This is the 7-nanometer generation of the automotive SoC, the one for the & quot; digital cockpit & quot; which manages infotainment and instrumentation. Sixth generation of the Adreno GPU for more graphic tasks; complexes than we are used to in cars, octa-core CPU , hardware accelerator dedicated to video decoding and encoding, support for up to three 4K displays at 60 FPS and connectivity; complete.

With such equipment, and with a user interface that is based on an avatar with the features of a fox, you can & ograve; understand why & eacute; smart has chosen not to integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Wireless, choosing to force the user to use the cable, it being understood that an OTA update should be enough to enable it in the event of a popular uprising. The goal is make use of the proprietary system, on the one hand because & eacute; & egrave; the best one to plan the routes by including in an intelligent (Tesla-like) way the charging stops, without going crazy with the Google maps system, for example, which today is not; still at the height.
On the other hand, the reason concerns the third-party apps, which are also ready to integrate in depth; with the car. The smartphone remains the control center, the one with our personal ID and the digital key (and the remote control), but the generation of services will have to; to grow, and to do so you need to & agrave; use it as much as possible; possible. 15/20 apps will be available at commercial launch, and smart already has; confirmed that there will be & agrave; all the navigation part (with recharge programming) and that Spotify will be usable from the first moment.
WAITING FOR THE LAUNCH 
, here are some answers to the community's questions about the 440-kilometer electric crossover with a recharge . </p>
<p>First of all <strong> a clarification on autonomy </strong>: that double declaration, 420-440 km, depends precisely on the absence or presence of the heat pump, so how there & egrave; it has been confirmed that the launch edition (and the European ones in general) will be; proposed as standard with this accessory. In some markets, however, there will be; a more model economical without heat pump, but the car foresees it like this; as it integrates a battery thermal management system and a standard 22 kW charger, the latter developed within the Sino-German joint venture. </p>
<p> The other aspect that emerges from a first contact concerns the <strong> quality; </strong>: & egrave; made in China, & egrave; true, but behind there is Mercedes who dictated the rules and quality & agrave; it already seems of a high standard on this pre-production model, with neat interiors, pleasant in style, solid to the touch and able to break away from the mass market average. </p>
<p> Mouths sewn on a <strong> possible opening to V2G/V2L/V2H </strong>, the technology that allows you to use the car battery to return energy to the electricity grid, power another vehicle or the house itself. On direct question, smart does not exclude the possibility, but neither does it confirm, however, making us understand that there is; the will & agrave; to integrate these systems, but is expecting to do so because & eacute; today they are only “theorists” and hardly exploitable in real use cases. </p>
