Tesla Model 3 car lease deals

Performance and features

Tesla models have become well-regarded for their surprisingly good driving experiences, and the Model 3 is no different. Performance is paramount across the Model 3 range, with the Long Range and Performance models utilising two electric motors and four-wheel drive to deliver serious results. Even the entry-level Standard Range Plus can reach 60mph in just 3.7 seconds - making it a worthy opponent in any class. To enhance the driving experience, the range-topping Performance variant has sports suspension and sizable 20-inch wheels that make for a well-controlled ride.

The other two models excel when it comes to durability, with the Standard Range managing 220 miles between charges, and the Long Range and Performance models getting up to 322 miles. The steering is superbly responsive across the range and drivers can personalise the weighting via various driving modes for added comfort. But, when it comes down to it, the real draw of the Model 3 is its expansive range of tech, which includes everything from optional Autopilot self-steering to adaptive cruise control. Regardless of the variant you go for, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to added extras.

Interior technology

Although the Model 3 can afford to be flashy, minimalism is the theme on the interior, with almost all controls managed via the huge 15.4-inch central touchscreen on the dashboard. There’s also plenty of storage space, and the standard panoramic glass roof gives the cabin an open feel. To enhance visibility in tight city spaces, all Model 3s come with parking sensors at both the front and the back of the car, along with a HD rear-view camera. Other luxuries included on all models are faux-leather seats that are heated in the front, keyless entry controlled via an app, and climate control for a touch of luxury.
