The only local reviewer that knows what he is talking about 👍🏻

[@Cxs1a3]

Nah

[@brandonlin.sjlin83]

Couldn’t agree with you better. He really speaks with his mind and he does give good and accurate information too

[@watataenjoyer]

Aiman from Malaysian motoring also good

[@AzrinSunbae]

Good job Hafriz! Always a fan of your 25 mins ++ videos haha

[@antonbanulski1262]

Thé best Smart#1 review of all the EV channels on KZbin👍🏻

[@zulnar1234]

Totally agreed. So far the most value for money in the segment

[@aimanfitri0iv]

this is by far the best in the segment

[@slmerc]

I've test driven this car and your assessment is spot on, especially when it comes to the ride and handling!

[@badman5356]

Can't wait for your S70 full review

[@jackielee297]

Very detailed review

[@just4therecord]

9:40 to adjust volume just tekan the up/down buttons on the steering wheel. You can also mute it with another button

[@zimben8]

Great test. Thank U. U forgot to mention that it has cooooled front Seats. Take care.

[@seanrazali]

Waiting for the Volvo EX30 to arrive onto our shores. Should be a good comparison.

[@rizalawang1732]

Will there be a review for the Brabus version as mentioned in the video?

[@user-hk4rk6kp4b]

I swear EV's central head unit UI/UX designer never actually drive a car

[@datcy4715]

How's the build quality compared to Model 3 highland?

[@watataenjoyer]

Because of the price whats the diff with tesla m3

[@arzainzain1854]

Thats not the only EV with travel assistance. Volvo C40 & XC40 also have google built-in with travel assistance that provides accurate range and battery usage with recommendation of charging stations along the way.

[@nelayanbimbang9988]

Lagi padu dari ev byd

[@MrMerdekaMan]

Does the sunroof have a cover? If you just leave it open, it will be too hot inside the car with the Malaysian weather.

[@adamafifrowigmailcom]

it looks like there is a manually operated shade that can be pulled from back to the front!!

[@JLXC90]

Yes comes with the automatic sunshades

[@brendancollin101]

The bonnet is like a Myvi

[@scaleartsg]

smart # the one

[@steventeoh260]

Reverse camera still lagging?

[@JLXC90]

Much better than the test drive unit, I guess they have updated the software. The overall system is super smooth now, although there is some minor bugs they could update in the next OTA

[@pamies488]

I prefer this Smart #1 other than Merc, BMW, Mini or BYD. 💪🏼

[@kckfen]

Only downside is the battery, how i wish the premium version have the LFP battery.

[@jackielee297]

Perhaps in the next 5 years

[@brandonlin.sjlin83]

Actually LFP battery or not, we still can charge it to full regularly. It’s just that the degradation of the battery is faster but it’s not the scary fast. 2-3% per year though. But that’s for Singapore context where our car last for 10 years. For MY, where u can own the car for life, it’s better to take more care

[@AdiRosli]

Looks much smaller than Model 3, pricing not much difference tho!

[@jzainalrants]

Thought so too at first. But when u compare the spec, not that much difference, except for the length. Understandable considering this is a crossover compared to model 3 a sedan

[@wensiangfong]

the main reason this car look attractive is because the bmw n mercedes model that comparable with this is way too expensive and plain....

[@Thehardyaberhim]

Harga kalau bawah 100k baru boleh beli

[@zla6668]

😂😂

[@Bl-jf6cn]

cute n stupid

[@dylanpt2220]

This beat Tesla hands down! But the Smart #1 is too cute for men! Lady would LOVE it. Waiting for Smart #3, hopefully start at RM199K 😉

[@ciybersal3499]

Haha yes true

[@nelayanbimbang9988]

😂😂 #3 pro price same like #1brabus
