SMART CROSSBLADE Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 34 SMART CROSSBLADEs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 35 in 2018 Q3 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (6.3%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the SMART CROSSBLADE is rarer than 69% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
