Tesla launches its most affordable car for the UAE market – the new Tesla Model 3 Standard. While the previous entry-point for a Tesla EV was the Model 3 Premium with a starting price of AED 164,990, the new Tesla Model 3 Standard will be offered in the UAE at a price of AED 144,990. Deliveries for the new Tesla Model 3 Standard in the UAE will debut in March 2026.
What are the features of the Tesla Model 3 Standard?
The Tesla Model 3 Standard will continue to boast the same software experience as every other Model 3. The Model 3’s extensive suite of features comprising remote mobile app access, Trip Planner with real-time Supercharger availability, and a variety of gaming and entertainment options will be included. Tesla’s signature features comprising Phone Key, Remote Climate Control, Sentry Mode, Dog Mode, and others will also be offered with the Tesla Model 3 Standard. The Over-The-Air software update feature will continue to enhance and introduce new features to the Model 3 Standard, like every other Tesla.
Modern creature comforts include voice commands, allowing occupants to skip tracks, switch podcasts, adjust cabin temperature, and reroute navigation by simply saying out loud. It also comes equipped with a powered tailgate which opens to a trunk storage capacity of 594 liters.
The Model 3 Standard also carries over all the new improvements made recently on the Model 3 line-up including the new front-facing camera and a redesigned indicator stalk. Adaptive Headlights are offered as standard which selectively dim individual high-beam pixels to eliminate glare for oncoming drivers. The seats are upholstered with a new soft-touch, durable textile. The seats themselves are power-adjustable and heated, while the roof is almost entirely a glass-panel for an expansive view above. Phone charging capabilities are taken up by the fitment of two wireless chargers and one USB-C port up front along with two rear USB-C ports delivering up to 65 W each.
What are the specifications of the Tesla Model 3 Standard?
The Tesla Model 3 Standard will feature a WLTP range of 534 km with UAE residents enjoying access to Tesla’s famed Supercharger network – a nearly 500-unit strong network spread across the Middle East. The availability of the new 18” Prismata wheels will further help reduce power consumption and increase range.
The Model 3 Standard goes from 0–100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds with a 201kmph top speed. Being a Tesla, the Model 3 Standard customers will also benefit from very little maintenance as no oil changes or annual servicing is needed.
