Following its recent price reduction, the Tesla Model 3 is setting new records and impressing competitors. In this regard, which models can rival the American electric sedan?
Launched in 2017, the Tesla Model 3 has managed to lift the spirits of sedan enthusiasts. While it once only attracted professional drivers such as tradespeople, taxis, and ride-share drivers, the American model now appeals to private customers thanks to its relatively competitive price, generous equipment, and performance/consumption ratio.
At the time of writing, three versions of the Tesla Model 3 are available in the catalog:
*Model 3: 491 km WLTP range and a price set at €44,990
*Model 3 Long Range: 602 km WLTP range and a price set at €52,990
*Model 3 Performance: 547 km WLTP range and a price set at €59,990
Only the base version is eligible for the current ecological bonus of €5,000, bringing its final price to €39,990.
The competition, meanwhile, is not very numerous and generally more expensive. However, we have selected the following models:
BMW i4
This is the model that immediately comes to mind when looking for a competitor to the Tesla Model 3. With its four-door coupe profile, the German model is slightly larger than the American, measuring 4.78 meters compared to 4.69 meters.
*BMW i4 eDrive35 286 hp: 406 km WLTP range and a price set at €57,550
*BMW i4 eDrive40 340 hp: 491 km WLTP range and a price set at €63,950
*BMW i4 M50 544 hp: 414 km WLTP range and a price set at €77,200
No ecological bonus is available here.
Hyundai Ioniq 6
This is one of the most anticipated electric models of 2023. Like the BMW i4, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a four-door coupe built on the platform of the best-seller Ioniq 5. This striking vehicle, measuring 4.85 meters, will likely turn heads with its style reminiscent of a Porsche Taycan.
*Hyundai Ioniq 6 77 kWh Propulsion: 545 km WLTP range and prices starting at €52,200
*Hyundai Ioniq 6 77 kWh HTRAC: 519 km WLTP range and prices starting at €64,700
No ecological bonus is available here.
Mercedes EQE
True to its star, Mercedes-Benz plays the luxury card with its elegant and luxurious EQE. The performance here is top-notch, and the German manufacturer remains a preferred rival for the Tesla Model 3, especially since its range is breaking records!*
*Mercedes EQE 300: 632 km WLTP range and a price starting at €76,250
*Mercedes EQE 350: 632 km WLTP range and a price starting at €80,150
*Mercedes EQE 53 4MATIC +: 518 km WLTP range and a price of €125,350
No ecological bonus is available.
