smart is preparing the #5 for debut at the Malaysian Autoshow, as these photos display a car we believe is being prepared for display.
The #5 joins the #1 and #3 and will take the mantle as the largest and most-SUV like of the three.
We believe that this is the EV that was alluded to by the eMO-I and eMO-II concept cars, and is being prepared to break cover at the Malaysian Autoshow set to kick off this weekend.
@perodua is a notoriously secretive company, but today no less than two spyshots of what we believe is the production EV have surfaced, thanks to loyal readers.
