Lower price point, Familiar Package

The Model 3 Standard retains the key attributes of the existing Model 3 lineup, including long driving range, high efficiency, strong performance, advanced software features, and a focus on safety. The model is designed to optimize running costs while providing a comfortable experience for passengers.

According to Tesla, the vehicle achieves a WLTP energy consumption of 13.0 kWh/100 km, aided by a high-density battery pack, efficient motors, aerodynamic design, and software-based energy management. The company states that this figure is lower than that of several smaller city cars.

Range is rated at 534 km (WLTP). For long-distance travel, drivers have access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, which includes more than 20,000 chargers at over 1,500 locations across Europe.

The Model 3 Standard accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, placing it among the quicker vehicles in its segment. Tesla highlights lower maintenance needs compared with internal-combustion vehicles due to fewer moving parts and the absence of oil changes or mandatory annual servicing. New 18″ Prismata wheels are also intended to reduce both energy consumption and tire replacement costs.

The vehicle’s pricing is partly attributed to Tesla’s manufacturing scale. The company has produced more than seven million electric vehicles globally and operates multiple Gigafactories that enable cost efficiencies.

Standard equipment and practicality

As standard, the Model 3 Standard includes features such as mobile app access, Trip Planner with Supercharger availability, voice controls, Phone Key functionality, Sentry Mode, and various entertainment options.

Cargo capacity includes 594 liters in the rear, expanding to 1,659 liters with the second row folded, along with an 88-liter front trunk. Towing capacity is listed at 1,000 kg.

The new variant incorporates updates introduced to the Model 3 earlier in the year. These include a redesigned forward-facing camera with heating and washer capabilities to reduce fogging and icing, as well as a new indicator stalk. Adaptive headlights are standard and adjust automatically to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.

Interior updates include new textile seats aimed at durability in varying weather conditions. The front seats are heated and electrically adjustable. The cabin offers multiple charging options, including two wireless chargers, a USB-C port at the front, and two rear USB-C ports capable of delivering up to 65 W.

The vehicle also supports over-the-air software updates and includes Autopilot and hardware for Full Self-Driving (Supervised), pending regulatory approval.
