At $36,990, the smart #1 Pro is an accessible way into a premium-badged electric crossover in Costa Rica — 272 hp, 420 km of WLTP range, and 150 kW fast charging in a compact package.

Don't let the friendly shape fool you: with rear-motor drive and a 6.7-second sprint to 100 km/h, this is one of the quickest cars in its price class, and the instant response makes it feel even livelier in city traffic. The compact footprint and tight proportions make parking in Escazú or San José's older neighborhoods genuinely easy, while five seats and 182 mm of ground clearance keep it practical beyond the pavement.

The 66 kWh battery is rated at 420 km on the WLTP cycle — a laboratory reference, with actual GAM commuting range depending on routes and driving conditions. DC fast charging at up to 150 kW puts a 10–80% stop at around 30 minutes, a useful published reference when planning charging stops.
