Not long ago, the new Tesla Model 3 was officially launched, the current model of the rear-wheel drive renewal version is priced at 259,900 yuan, dual-motor all-wheel drive long-life renewal version is priced at 295,900 yuan, the new car as a whole in the exterior, interior and configuration has been changed, and compared with the old model, the starting price of the new model is 28,000 yuan more expensive, so what are the changes between the new model and the old version? Is this extra money worth it? Today, Zero Zero Car Bond will come to talk to you together.
In terms of appearance, the headlights of the new Model 3 have been redesigned, which are narrower and longer than the old model, and the integrated "C" shape taillights have been redesigned, and the taillights of the new model are more integrated, and the light groups are all set on the trunk door panel. The color of the model has also increased, the new flame red and starry gray, can follow the light and perspective change to present different light and shadow effects, the wheel hub and tires have also updated the appearance, not only optimize the endurance, but also to a certain extent reduce the noise during driving, practicality and appearance of the whole line UP.
In terms of body size, looking at official data, the length, width and height of the new Model 3 are 4720×1848×1442mm, and the wheelbase is 2875mm, compared with the old model, the length has increased by 26mm, the width has been reduced by 2mm, the height has increased by 1mm, the wheelbase remains unchanged, and there is no particularly big gap in size.
Entering the car, the atmosphere created by the model is biased towards technology and simplicity, using a wrap-around cockpit layout, adding 256-color ambient lights, and the front seats add seat ventilation function, cancel the turn signal lever behind the steering wheel, the turn signal operation is integrated on the steering wheel, and the pocket gear is also canceled and transferred to the center control screen.
The new car is also wrapped in a new textile material, which is more premium, and the central armrest is optimized to make us feel softer when touched. In addition, the new Model 3 is also equipped with two front and rear screens, and the rear screen can entertain and control some functions of the vehicle, such as adjusting the air conditioner and playing music, etc., which can be both entertaining and practical. (Such a configuration has appeared on Model S models before, and this time it is placed on Model 3, which is also a surprise)
In terms of safety equipment, the new Model 3 adds far-end airbags, new door hinges, door locks and locks, and in terms of power performance, the new Model 3 rear-wheel drive version has a total motor power of 194kW and a total motor torque of 340Nm, and a long-range dual-motor all-wheel drive version of the motor with a total power of 331kW and a total motor torque of 559Nm. At present, the new car provides two cruising ranges, the rear-drive version of the CLTC has a cruising range of 606km, the long-range dual-motor all-wheel drive version of the CLTC has a cruising range of 713km, and the dual-motor version accelerates in just 4.4 seconds.
For this new car, frankly speaking, in fact, the public's expectations are very high, the heat is also very large, before the official launch, many car fans predicted that if the price is about 200,000 to 220,000, it will win numb, but the official price of 259,900 yuan starting the new Model 3 Although the appearance, configuration and other aspects have been upgraded this time, the data can also be obtained, but in terms of overall cost performance, it does not occupy an absolute overwhelming advantage. Even from the perspective of endurance and exterior design, the advantages of many domestic new energy vehicles can also be compared. (For example, BYD Seal, Xpeng P7, NIO ET5 and other models, although sales are still not catching up, but the strong sense of oppression still squeezes the survival of Model 3 to a certain extent)
In addition, the new Model 3 also has a "detail" that cannot be ignored, the physical shift of the car has been changed, the new Model 3 through the touch screen to switch gears, when the driver stops and presses the brake pedal, the left side of the center control screen will show the gear selection gear bar, the finger slide up is the forward gear, the slide is the reverse gear. Although located on the headliner next to the overhead lights, the new Model 3 also has an emergency gear selector (to put it simply, physical gear shifts are also available, but what, this thing is above our heads, who do you say is driving the gear shift and looking up?). ）
Summary:
The new Model 3 is currently on the market, if you are a loyal fan of the brand, plus compared to the old model, there are indeed many upgrades, including the interior has indeed become a lot more advanced, so if you feel OK in the price, then it doesn't hurt for you to start, but if you consider all aspects of cost performance, then you may wish to focus on a wait-and-see mentality, and maybe reduce the price later (you can also wait and see whether there will be a larger discount or subsidy in the future); As for the aforementioned central control screen shifting, I personally feel that if you are not used to driving, then don't force yourself to force it to change, the pace is too big at once, and the result is that you can't return to the fixed thinking habits that you have developed over the years, but will regret it.
