KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — Tesla is finally launching its electric vehicles in Malaysia, four months after the company’s intention to enter our market was revealed by the Minister of International Trade and Industry, Tengku Zafrul., Malaysia will become the company’s third official market in South East Asia following Singapore in 2021 and Thailand late last year.
Available in several variants, the Standard Range features a rear-wheel drive setup with 208kW of power alongside a maximum torque of 420Nm. With a maximum speed of 225km/h, the Model 3 can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds. Meanwhile, the Performance AWD option delivers the most punch with an output of 340kW and 638Nm of torque. It can do 0 to 100km/h in just 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 261km/h. However, the higher performance does translate to a lower range with a rated 567km on a single charge.
Similar to Model 3, Model Y is also quite a hit among consumers throughout the world. In fact, it has been crowned the world’s best-selling car for Q2 this year, beating the likes of chart-topping releases from Toyota such as the Corolla, Hilux, and Camry. The Performance AWD variant also has a maximum speed of 250km/h and can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The extra firepower does mean that this variant has to sacrifice some range although it still manages to command some respectable WLTP figure at 514km.
