The 2024 Tesla Model 3 has made its debut in Europe, showcasing a refreshed design with a sleek front end, advanced cabin features, upgraded headlights, and a smooth front bumper.

Formerly known as "Project Highland," the new Model 3 boasts a more streamlined appearance compared to its predecessors, with clean lines that create a cohesive finish. The rear end has been simplified, featuring slim taillights, a new bumper, and Tesla lettering replacing the logo on the trunk. Notably, the taillights are positioned on the trunk lid, allowing the European-style fog lamps to also function as lamp assemblies.

The 2024 Model 3 comes equipped with more efficient 18-inch and 19-inch wheels and introduces two new color options: Ultra Red and Stealth Grey.

Inside the vehicle, the woodgrain strip on the previous dashboard has been replaced with contrasting trim just above the vents. The updated dashboard now includes ambient lighting and houses a 15.4-inch display with thinner bezels, higher brightness, and stronger contrast. The center console features two smartphone charging pads, and the sound system has been upgraded from 14 speakers to 17 speakers. Additionally, an eight-inch touchscreen has been added to the center console for rear passengers to control the car's climate and entertainment systems.

The interior upholstery of the Model 3 now includes perforated materials for a more refined look and feel. The front seats are now heated and ventilated as standard, and laminated window glass has been incorporated in the back to reduce noise.

Despite these updates, the driving range of the 2024 Model 3 remains the same as the previous model, offering 272 miles on the single-motor rear-wheel-drive version and 333 miles on the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model.

Tesla has not announced the release date for the 2024 Model 3 in the American market, but it is expected to debut before the end of this year. Check out the updated vehicle in the gallery above.
