Brabus’ new kit for the Smart #3 will make it look even meaner

The new splitters and wings are complemented by oversized alloys and *many* Brabus logos

Published: 20 Aug 2024

Want to make your Smart #3 look a bit more like it’s got an attitude problem? Brabus has just released a new kit for the mini SUV, featuring various external bolt-on parts and a light interior revamp.

Perched on top of a new set of 20/21in multicolour centre lock alloys, the #3 will gain a slick new face featuring new side air intakes, an open wound on its bonnet and an extended front lip. That lip extension continues along the flanks and the rear, with the tailgate also receiving a curvy new wing for company.

Aside from the new sports springs - which lower the ride height by about an inch and a half - no other significant mechanical changes are listed as part of the package. That body kit should at least mean a bit less lift and a lot more aero, though.

The Brabusification continues inside too, with a plethora of new logos highlighting that this is, in fact, not a standard #3. Aluminium pedal pads and red stitching also form part of the new cabin, while new scuff plates with backlighting and extra velour across the boot liner complete the notable changes.

No guide prices have been issued just yet for either individual parts or the entire package, but expect that to change in the coming months.
