Fans have been waiting for a new Tesla model and now it’s finally here in Malaysia. Tesla Model 3 Highland's price starts from RM 189,000 for the Standard Range variant and RM 218,000 for the Long Range variant.

Tesla Model 3 Highland variants feature different drive layouts and driving ranges. The Standard Range comes with a single rear-mounted electric, making it a rear-wheel drive (RWD) EV. It offers a driving range of 513 km (WLTP) and is able to sprint 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.

Meanwhile, the Long Range variant is fitted with two electric motors that move all four wheels (all-wheel drive - AWD). The driving range is rated at 629 km as per WLTP standards, with a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.4 seconds.

In terms of charging capabilities, both variants support AC charging of up to 11 kW. For the RWD Standard Range variant, DC charging is rated at 170 kW; whereas the AWD Long Range supports DC charging of up to 250 kW.

As for the interior, Tesla Model 3 Highland features all-vegan materials with tech textiles and matte aluminium trim to enhance its all-black look, creating a sophisticated yet minimalist atmosphere in the cabin.
