At $51,990, the smart #3 BRABUS is the quickest car in Costa Rica's electric lineup from the brand — 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, 428 hp, all-wheel drive — wrapped in a coupe-SUV silhouette that looks fast standing still.

This is the flagship, and the details prove it: ventilated 10-way electric sport seats, a 10-inch head-up display, 13-speaker audio, and a 360-degree camera, all under a sloping roofline that turns heads in any parking lot. Dual-motor traction helps deliver the power, but wet mountain passes still demand care, and the instant torque makes every merge an event.

The 62 kWh battery is rated at 415 km WLTP — a laboratory comparison figure, with real range depending on route and conditions — but the charging story is the standout: 22 kW AC capability refills the battery in about three hours on a compatible charger, and 150 kW DC does 10–80% in about 30 minutes. Type 2 and CCS2 ports are provided, so check connector availability at the public stations on your route, and the battery carries an 8-year/160,000 km warranty.
