2025 Tesla Model 3 Review
The 2025 Tesla Model 3 continues to perform strongly as one of the cornerstones of the electric vehicle market. Since its debut in 2017, it has established itself as a more accessible alternative to previous Tesla models and played a significant role in popularizing electric cars globally. With over one million units sold worldwide by 2021, it stands as one of the most successful EVs ever. The latest 2025 version is part of the major refresh known as 'Project Highland,' announced in 2023, which brought notable improvements in design, efficiency, and technology.
Exterior Design
The 2025 Model 3 features a sleeker and more refined look, with a lower front end, a redesigned rear diffuser, and enhanced aerodynamic wheels that reduce drag coefficient to 0.219, down from 0.225. The taillights have been updated to create a more cohesive design with the trunk sides, giving the car a more streamlined and modern appearance. These changes improve both aesthetics and aerodynamic performance, resulting in better driving range.
In terms of paint options, the 2025 Model 3 comes in standard white at no additional cost. For those seeking a more distinctive look, Tesla offers several premium colors. These include solid black, metallic blue, and dark gray for an additional SAR 5,300. Eye-catching options like red and mercury silver come at a higher premium of SAR 8,000 on top of the car's base price.
Interior Design
The 2025 Tesla Model 3 boasts a modern cabin that blends tranquility with cutting-edge tech, delivering a refined and comfortable driving experience. Material quality has been upgraded with meticulous attention to detail. One standout feature is the 8-inch rear touchscreen that allows backseat passengers to control climate and media, complementing the main 15.4-inch center display. The front seats are ventilated and can be pre-cooled or auto-adjusted via the mobile app for added comfort. Tesla's premium sound system includes up to 17 speakers and dual subwoofers, paired with enhanced microphones for clearer calls. Wireless charging for two phones is also available, making daily use more convenient.
The cabin benefits from exceptional quietness thanks to sound-insulating glass surrounding the occupants. A panoramic glass roof enhances the sense of space, allowing natural light in while blocking harmful UV rays. In a bold design move, Tesla replaced traditional turn signal stalks with steering wheel-mounted buttons—a feature borrowed from refreshed Model S and X vehicles—though it has drawn mixed reactions regarding usability and safety.
