The Tesla Model 3 earned accolades in British motoring publication What Car?‘s 2024 electric vehicle awards. The awards were posted on the publication’s official account on X.
As noted by What Car?, this year’s electric vehicle awards are quite special as they include both new and used options. In both categories, Tesla’s mainstream electric sedan proved to be the best in its class.

This could immediately be seen in the previous generation Tesla Model 3, which was hailed by What Car? as its best used electric executive car for 2024. The publication noted that the previous generation Model 3 still offers a very good value, especially since the all-electric sedan could be acquired for as low as £15,000 in the UK’s second hand market today for its Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Standard Range Plus variant.
If you like the sound of a @Tesla Model 3 but are worried about the cost, don’t despair, because you can now get early UK Model 3s for just £15,000 💷😯
That’s an extraordinarily low price for such a desirable car, making it our used electric executive car winner! 🎉🎊… pic.twitter.com/WwWcOwVQ6j

Considering that the previous generation Model 3 earned accolades in What Car?‘s EV awards, it was no surprise that the reengineered Tesla Model 3 sedan was also hailed by the publication as its best new electric executive car for 2024. Interestingly enough, the publication hailed the new Model 3’s RWD variant as its top pick.
Our electric executive car award winner is great to drive, packed full of tech, incredibly fast and even surprisingly practical, with room for nine carry-on suitcases in its boot 😯
It’s the @Tesla Model 3! 🎉🎊#WhatCarAwards #ElectricCarAwards pic.twitter.com/jqnl3JOw3m

What Car? noted that the new Model 3, which received a full rework of its interior and suspension, is “great to drive, packed full of tech, incredibly fast and even surprisingly practical, with room for nine carry-on suitcases in its boot.” This is quite unsurprising considering that Tesla really worked on the new Model 3’s details, effectively making an already great car an even better vehicle.
This is not the first time that Tesla’s vehicles were able to gain awards from What Car?. The publication has also dubbed the Tesla Model Y Long Range as its best family electric SUV for long journeys due to the vehicle’s performance, features, and practicality. The Tesla Supercharger Network also won the publication’s technology award due to its reliability and ease of use.
