Sensible may not function within the U.S. however the minicar model could be very a lot alive and is within the midst of a reboot that kicked off final yr with the arrival of the #1 electrical subcompact crossover.

The rebooted Sensible is now planning its second mannequin, the #3, which judging from teaser materials will probably be a coupe-like model of the #1. It is set to make its world debut on April 18 on the 2023 Shanghai auto present.

Just like the #1, the #3 has been developed in China by the three way partnership Sensible Vehicle owned by Mercedes-Benz and Zhejiang Geely.

No particulars have been launched, however the mechanicals are doubtless shared with the #1. They embrace a shortened model Geely’s SEA modular electric-vehicle platform, which presents help for fast-charging and over-the-air updates.

The #1 options an ordinary single electrical motor on the rear axle rated at 268 hp, and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup in a range-topping Brabus variant rated at 422 hp. The only battery is a 66-kwh unit that helps charging at charges of as much as 150 kw and a most vary of 270 miles on the WLTP take a look at cycle used abroad. The stricter EPA cycle would lead to a decrease score.

Count on related numbers for the #3.

Gross sales of the #3 are scheduled to begin in markets the place Sensible operates later this yr. Pricing info will probably be introduced nearer to the market launch.
