Proton New Energy Technology (PRO-NET), the official distributor of smart vehicles in Malaysia, recently marked two years of smart’s presence in the country with a celebration held together with the smart Owners Club Malaysia on 20 December 2025. The anniversary served as a reflection of how the brand has evolved locally, not just as an
Since its Malaysian debut in 2023, smart has moved beyond being simply a car brand. It has attracted a group of owners drawn by sustainability, modern design and innovative technology. This has translated into a growing network of smart drivers across the country, spanning owners of the smart #1, smart #3 and the newer smart #5, highlighting the brand’s appeal to urban motorists looking for electric mobility that is both practical and stylish.
The anniversary celebration took the form of a convoy drive that began at the smart Glenmarie dealership in Shah Alam and ended at Beacon Resort in Kerling, Selangor. Designed as a relaxed, family-friendly day out, the event allowed owners to interact, share stories and enjoy activities beyond the driving experience itself. A total of 38 smart vehicles took part in the convoy, made up of 19 units of the smart #1, 14 of the smart #3 and five smart #5s, offering a clear snapshot of the brand’s expanding electric lineup in Malaysia.
PRO-NET’s Chief Information Officer and Head of the smart Business Unit, Sua Chek Hoong, noted that the past two years have been a meaningful and energetic journey for smart in the local market. The anniversary drive underscored the strong bond formed with owners and the sense of camaraderie that has grown around the brand, reinforcing the idea that smart represents more than just a mode of transport.
The second anniversary gathering also reflected smart’s ongoing commitment to engaging its owners well beyond the point of sale, nurturing relationships that begin in the showroom and continue throughout ownership. Looking ahead, the brand plans to further expand its electric vehicle range, deepen its owner network and continue encouraging Malaysians to embrace compact, distinctive and enjoyable electric mobility as part of everyday life.
