New Tesla Model 3 Highland Refresh Revealed: More Range, More Tech, New Style

The Tesla Model 3 has received a new design refresh, giving it a more polished look. The front and rear of the car have been redesigned with a lower, curved fascia, replacing the previous blunt edge. The updated lighting design is inspired by the Model S, which also received a refresh earlier this year. Tesla has introduced two new colors, Stealth Gray and Ultra Red, and new wheels in 18-inch and 19-inch sizes that are optimized for range and reducing road noise.

The refreshed Model 3 will be available in two versions initially. The Rear-Wheel Drive version will have a range of 513 kilometers (318 miles) according to the WLTP test cycle, which is known to be more generous than the U.S. EPA test cycle. It can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph.

The Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Model 3 will have a range of 629 kilometers (390 miles) on the WLTP cycle. It offers quicker acceleration, going from zero to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds, but has the same top speed of 125 mph. Currently, there is no listing for a Model 3 Performance version, but this may change once U.S. specifications are confirmed.
