Identify the catalogue entry
The catalogue entry identifies the parent brand as Smart and the model as #1. The captured generation name is the first generation, shown in the record by the short name I. The model card does not itself state a production range for the whole model, so the starting point for this article is the generation card and the recorded fields attached to it.
For this generation, the catalogue records one body type: a five-door SUV. The recorded start date is 2022-04-01. The stop date is empty in the captured data, so the catalogue entry does not establish an end date for this body version. These details should be read as catalogue attributes rather than as a promise about every vehicle or market.
Recorded body and dimensions
The captured main modification gives the following dimensions: length 4270 mm, width 1822 mm, height 1636 mm, wheelbase 2750 mm. The recorded number of seats is 5, and the recorded number of doors is 5. These figures belong to the captured main modification for the five-door SUV body, not to every configuration that may exist.
A simple check is to compare the stated values with their units: all four main dimensions are expressed in millimetres, while seats and doors are counts. If a listing shows a different body version or a separate modification, its values may differ even when the generation name looks the same.
Compare like for like
A buyer must match generation and body version before comparing dimensions because the recorded figures are specific to the captured five-door SUV main modification of the first generation. For example, the wheelbase of 2750 mm is only informative for that recorded body context.
The practical check is to confirm that both the generation name and the body type match. If one source refers to Smart #1 I and another simply says Smart #1 without a body type, the comparison is incomplete. The catalogue entry supports a precise comparison only when the same generation and body context are aligned.
Scope and missing information
The record does not establish several commonly discussed figures. Fields for trunk volume, front and rear track width, turning radius, and fording depth are absent or null in the captured main modification. The generation card also has no stop year, so the catalogue entry does not document an end of production for the body version.
