The new Tesla Model 3 high-performance version was officially released, priced at 335,900 yuan in the Chinese market, and deliveries are expected to begin in the third quarter of this year. The biggest highlight of the new car is undoubtedly its new generation of high-performance power composition, with a maximum power of 460 horsepower, a 0-100 acceleration time of 3.1s, and a CLTC range of 623 kilometers. Below, let's take a look at how the new car performs with the car boy.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the new car has been adjusted to a certain extent. The exterior color is now available in Star Grey, with pearl white, dark ocean blue, pure black, and blaze red paint options. The new front features air vents and a uniquely designed rectifier front lip, while the rear features a carbon fibre spoiler and diffuser, as well as an exclusive racing badge, new 19-inch warp wheels and exclusive red performance calipers.
In terms of interior, the overall appearance of the new car presents a dynamic and comfortable visual effect. Inside, the centre console is trimmed with carbon fibre trim, and features a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and an 8-inch rear control screen, offering three acceleration modes: Comfort, Standard and Crazy, as well as a number of custom track modes. In terms of comfort, the interior of the car is equipped with wrap-around sports seats, a two-stage roof roof, two wireless charging bays for mobile phones, 17 speakers, heated and ventilated front seats, as well as seven airbags and a new sealing system to further enhance driving comfort. In addition, the new Model 3 Performance features improved brake feel and aluminum sports pedals.
In the new power component, the new car is equipped with Tesla's new fourth-generation motor on the rear axle, making the new car reach a peak torque of 678N·m and a peak power of 460HP. The Chinese version accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds higher than the old model, with a maximum power of 460 horsepower, a top speed of 261km/h, and a pure electric range of 623 km/h under CLTC conditions. The official energy consumption per 100 kilometers is 16.7kW. In addition to the power performance improvements, Tesla has also tweaked the chassis and suspension of the new Model 3 Performance, using a new adaptive damping suspension system consisting of a front double wishbone/rear multi-link.
According to the data of the Passenger Association, in 2023, Tesla will be the sales champion of more than 200,000 pure electric sedan models in China. This year, with the continuous segmentation of the market, established car companies and new forces have worked together to launch performance models in more than 200,000 pure electric models. After the launch of the new car, it faced a lot of market pressure. Take the Xiaomi SU7 Max Edition, for example, its power parameters are close to that of the new car, with a better acceleration of 2.78 seconds to 100 km/h. Of course, both have their advantages, and consumers can choose according to their preferences. In general, the new Model 3 high-performance version has made further breakthroughs in speed, handling and comfort, enriching users' car purchase choices, priced at 335,900 yuan.
