The 2025 Tesla Model 3 is a compelling choice for an EV. The Long Range version has plenty of range and the Performance version is an absolute rocket. Tesla also improved the car's interior quality and ride comfort recently. We don't love that many of the car's controls are distracting to use while driving, but on the whole the Model 3 is impressively well rounded.Read full review

What's new

No major changes for 2025
Part of the first Model 3 generation introduced for 2017

Overview

The fact that electric cars are mainstream today is largely due to the success of Tesla. The Model 3, in particular, has made EV ownership a realistic prospect for many new-car buyers. Last year, Tesla gave the Model 3 a big update that included revised styling (look for the sleeker headlights), a quieter and higher-quality cabin, and a smoother ride quality. For 2025, the Model 3 is pretty much unchanged. But know that Tesla often makes midyear improvements and feature changes through software updates, so things might change with little warning.

Edmunds spotlight: Range and performance

When it comes to range, the current Model 3 remains one of the best in its class. The EPA says the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive can go 363 miles on a single charge. At Edmunds, we tested the more powerful Long Range All-Wheel Drive and it still went 338 miles in our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test. That's a bit shy of the EPA's 346-mile estimate, but it's still one of the longest ranges for an EV in this price range. The Model 3 is also quick, with the standard Long Range version sprinting from zero to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and the range-topping Performance doing the same in a supercar-like 3.0 seconds.

Competitors to consider

Hyundai's Ioniq 6 sedan is a viable alternative to the Model 3. Many people find its styling a bit off-putting, but otherwise it's a very sensible choice that provides plenty of range and comfort. BMW's i4 is another option, though it's more expensive. Your other alternatives are mostly SUVs, including the affordably priced Chevrolet Equinox EV, the sporty-looking Kia EV6 or even the new Volvo EX30. Tesla's Model Y is another good choice, though it doesn't yet benefit from all of the recent updates Tesla gave to the Model 3. To see what we think the Model 3's strengths and weaknesses are, check out our Expert Rating.

Great

8.2

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Model 3 drive? The Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive, which is what we tested, is surprisingly sporty and engaging to drive. At the Edmunds test track, our test car accelerated from zero to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. That's really moving, especially for a car that's not necessarily designed for performance. It's backed up by athletic and balanced handling around corners. Full panic-stop braking is stable, although the 60-0 mph stopping distance was a bit long in our testing.

In daily use, the Model 3 is easy to drive. It steers quickly, zips away from stoplights, and offers strong regenerative and one-pedal braking when you lift off the accelerator pedal.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Model 3? The Model 3's front seats have a pleasing combination of cushioning and firmness, with decent-size bolsters to hold you tight around corners. The 3's seats also come with heating and ventilation as standard. The rear seats are pretty comfortable, though they are a bit low to the floor, so taller passengers will have their knees in an elevated position. In our testing, the Model 3 rode smoothly over most road surfaces and blocked out most road and wind noise.

Our scoring could be even higher here, but the climate control system doesn't have multiple zones for temperature adjustment like you'll find on most other cars. Also, the touchscreen-based adjustments for the air vents are distracting to use while driving.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? If you're savvy with touchscreens, using the Model 3's main touchscreen for nearly everything will come pretty naturally to you. But those less keen on tech will likely find it hard to remember where all of the touchscreen controls are and wish for some real buttons or control stalks. The touchscreen's drive selector isn't as annoying to use as we expected, but the steering wheel-mounted turn signal buttons are just plain odd.

On the upside, the wide adjustability of the steering wheel and driver's seat provides an optimal driving position and excellent outward visibility. We also like the Model 3's roomy cabin. There's plenty of headroom and legroom up front and the rear seating area is also pretty generous.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Tesla's infotainment system has a few standout features but also some things that are ripe for improvement. The Google-based navigation display looks great on the 15.4-inch touchscreen and is user-friendly, though it can lag in updating when you're driving in areas with poor cell service.

You'll love cranking your favorite music in the Model 3. The premium 17-speaker system offers an immersive listening experience that reveals new dimensions in familiar tracks. However, the lack of integration for common smartphone features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and the inability to access an iPhone's music library directly, is a bit of a bummer if you're someone who likes to transition from phone to car seamlessly.

On the upside, there's a second screen for rear passengers. Like the front screen, you can use it to stream videos from Netflix and YouTube or play a small collection of built-in video games. Two USB-C chargers also keep mobile devices juiced up. The voice command system generally works well and you can use it for things like opening the glovebox or adjusting the climate temperature (though it will only set it to the nearest even number).

Tesla's AutoPilot system, which bundles a variety of driver assist features, generally works well, though we have found that it can be overreactive when braking or too aggressive when accelerating. Its ability to autosteer on city streets and stop for traffic control lights and signs (if you have the Full Self-Driving option) is a neat trick, but we don't think it's trustworthy or reliable enough to fully allow you to relax while driving. It's hard to justify the cost, especially when you're just paying to turn the feature on.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The Model 3's trunk can hold far more than you'd expect. Besides the trunk space, there's a surprisingly deep well under the trunk floor that contributes to a whopping 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. The rear seats also fold virtually flat and the opening between is quite large. Another advantage the Model 3 has over most other mainstream EVs is a frunk that offers a usable 3.1 cubic feet for a total of 24.1 cubic feet.

Storage space for small items is generous. There's a decent-size center console armrest and a deep compartment ahead of the cupholders. We also like the door pockets, which can hold water bottles and are lined with a felt-like material to help minimize rattling sounds from stored items.

The Model 3 isn't the best if you have young children. The car seat anchors are tucked tightly between the seat cushions, so it can be a challenge to get your car seat's anchors in there. But thanks to the legroom available, even rear-facing car seats will fit behind an average-size driver.

Range and Efficiency

9/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following relates to a 2024 Model 3 we tested but our observations still broadly apply to the 2025 Model 3.] We tested the 2024 Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive equipped with 18-inch wheels. It got an EPA-estimated range of 341 miles on a full charge. This is a respectable distance for an EV, and in our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, the Model 3 nearly hit that mark, traveling a total of 338 miles before zeroing out its remaining range gauge. Other vehicles in the segment generally beat their range estimates, but few can ultimately go as far as the Model 3 Long Range.

The Model 3 is still the most efficient dual-motor EV we've tested to date. We calculated that we used 25.3 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles driven. A comparable Ford Mustang Mach-E we tested, for example, used 32.7 kWh/100 miles. Unlike a gas vehicle's mpg, the lower the kWh number used for an EV, the better.

Tesla says the Model 3 can reach fast-charging speeds of up to 250 kW, which is estimated to add up to 175 miles of range in 15 minutes.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Model 3 a good value? Tesla's Model 3 impressively bridges the gap between luxury and affordability for EVs. Our test car was solidly built and nicely appointed. Though previous models fell short in interior design compared to high-end competitors, the latest Model 3 has noticeably improved in quality and aesthetics. Pricing is also appealing. You'll be hard-pressed to find better overall value from a competing EV, especially if you skip buying the Full Self-Driving features.

The Model 3 used to come with an assortment of charge cord options, but now it only comes with an adapter that you can use to connect to a non-Tesla charging cord. Long-distance trips are easy to do thanks to Tesla's extensive nationwide network of quick-charging Supercharger stations.

The Model 3's warranty is comparable to other luxury electric vehicles. It comes with four years/50,000 miles of basic coverage and eight years/120,000 miles for the battery and drive unit, with a guaranteed 70% of battery charge until then.

Wildcard

8/10

Tesla is no longer a tech startup trying to figure out how to build cars. The latest Model 3 is fun to drive, comfortable, and generally free of software glitches that seem to plague a lot of other EVs from new automakers. The downside to Model 3 ownership is that the combination of the vehicle's popularity and the dearth of customizable options means the chances of you seeing an identical Tesla to yours on the road, or even in your neighborhood, is pretty high.

Which Model 3 does Edmunds recommend?

With virtually no changes made for 2025, we still think the Model 3 Long Range is the best one to get. You not only get extra range over the base model, but you also get a higher maximum charging rate, quicker acceleration and a solid audio system. If you live where frequent foul weather is a concern, the Long Range All-Wheel Drive model may be worth the extra investment.

2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range 4dr Sedan AWD (electric DD)

Needed a new car. I had no intention of buying an EV, let alone a Tesla. My wife wanted to check out EVs, so I reluctantly agreed. First we drove some plug-in hybrids. Meh. Then she showed me the price of a Model 3 and I agreed to test drive it. 1. You schedule test drive via online. We found it super convenient. Knew exactly when and where we would be test driving, no waiting in car … lot for some idiot car salesman. 2. Sign in, Tesla rep greets us and lets us look around, then explains to us how to use the features. No sales pushing, just answering all our questions. 3. Supposed to be a 30 min test drive, we couldn’t stop, went for an hour. It was thought changing. I went from being EV skeptic, to Tesla enthusiast in 60 min. 4. Went online and bought a car that afternoon. Again, no scumbag slimy car salesman, everything straight forward and easy. 5. Did have to download the app to finish the process to fill out the paperwork. But, this was fine, do it from living room couch rather than in a cra##y office with some sales idiot bugging you to buy some stupid extras. 6. The only hiccup, app prompts you to pay before picking up car. I just messaged in the app that I preferred to see car before paying. Response, “No problem.” 7. Pickup fast efficient trouble free. People were great. The whole experience left us thinking,” this all works together so well. Everything is well thought out and customer experience well thought out.” Car is just a pleasure to drive. Fun, fast, quiet, fast, handles well. Relaxing to drive in traffic. With tax credits, cheaper than a Camry. We did get a wall charger, makes the ownership sooo much better. Just plug it in every night and never worry about range for normal commuting. Day three, first day commuting, we got a weird rock ding and broke front passenger door window. Got home. Called service (they answered fast) and the recommended using app to schedule service. (They offered to schedule over phone, but I wanted to try the app). Tried it, flawless to schedule service. Asked you to describe problem, take some pics and submit. Within minutes, got a message that a mobile appointment was scheduled. App asked for insurance, and that was it. Tech showed up in service time. Fixed window fast, answered a bunch of questions we had about features and then was off. No muss, no fuss. Mobile service was AWESOME! Oh, total cost to us was $0. Fit and finish great Driving in rain great 500 mile road trip with family of four great. Total cost, $16. Time at supercharger, 14 min from 30% to 95%. People complain about no car play/android auto, non issue. Tesla navigation is outstanding. Phone Bluetooth connects for calls. Connectivity lets you connect to streaming services you subscribe to. Don’t care about carplay/android auto anymore, it’s irrelevant. You do have to take some time to learn how to use everything but it’s time well spent as there’s sooo much there for you to tailor the car to how you want things. Tesla Model 3 LWD/AWD. Two months, 2000 miles. Loving it. Can’t wait for our other car to have an issue, so we can justify getting a model Y.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Tesla Model 3, so we've included review for other years of the Model 3 since its last redesign.
