#5
The biggest smart ever — a mid-size SUV on an 800 V platform
AW Rostamani officially launched the smart #5 in the UAE in February 2026 with four trims from AED 159,900, including the UAE-exclusive Dune. A 100 kWh pack gives 590 km WLTP, and 4C 400 kW charging goes 10-80% in 15 minutes.

Guide to charging
What to know about charging your smart #5 in the Gulf.
Home charging · AC
22 kW
~ 5 hours from 0 to 100%
Ideal for overnight charging. The right Wallbox power depends on your market's electricity supply.
Size your home charger →Fast charging · DC

Fast charging in 15 minutes
Compatibility depends on the car variant's port and the network. Check the connector and operator app before travelling; heat may reduce charging speed.
Charging cost (estimate)

Full charge at home
An estimate based on home electricity rates in your market. Public charging usually costs more but is much faster.

How is this calculated?
Five regular days and two days off. Listed Gulf range: 450 km; battery: 100 kWh. Assumed charging efficiency: 90%. Home time uses the lower of charger and vehicle AC power; public charging assumes half peak power on average. Sessions are rounded-up weekly equivalents to replenish consumption, not a first-week itinerary; starting charge and habits change visit counts. Time excludes queues and travel to chargers. Heat, speed and air conditioning affect results.
Practical tips for Gulf drivers
EV ownership in the Gulf brings heat, Ramadan, sand and long roads. These are general practical tips; each model’s experience depends on its variant and market.
Prayer times and charging
Choose a compatible station near your destination, and check access hours and operating status in the operator app before arrival.
Ramadan
Check station occupancy in the operator app and choose a quieter time when possible.
Sand and dust
Inspect the charge port and cooling vents after dusty conditions, and follow your car’s cleaning schedule.
Cross-border travel
For trips between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, use verified compatible chargers on your route, with a backup stop and a safe arrival reserve.
Insurance and maintenance
Compare insurance and maintenance schedules for the specific model and dealer. Prices and intervals vary between vehicles.

How the score works (published formula)
A weighted average of four pillars from catalogue data only: Heat range 35% (from the Real-Range Index), Charging 25% (power + 10–80% time), Value 20% (price vs its body-class median), Dealer support 20% (Gulf markets with an official dealer). A pillar with no data is dropped and weights renormalise — no number is invented. Pure EVs only.

Agent in the Gulf, not in your market
There is a factory agent in nearby markets — warranty usually does not transfer automatically, and servicing means moving the car. Ask before buying.

“Not published” means we could not find terms stated by the maker or its Gulf agent — not that the car has no warranty. We do not print an unpublished figure, because it is the one a buyer would plan around.
