There’s a new Tesla in town and although its design is reminiscent of its stablemates, the Model 3 has some fresh looks as well.

The most noticeable change is lack of a front grille, which has been replaced with a clean, painted surface. The front end is reminiscent of the Porsche Panamera, and although it appears like it could be hatchback, the Model 3 offers a rear trunk and a front trunk.

The overhangs have been made short while it appears as though cabin space was prioritized, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk saying the car will comfortably seat five adults.

Inside, a buttonless dashboard and clean design are found along with a massive touchscreen to run all of the car’s functions.

For now, this Model 3 is only a concept, with Musk saying that the production version will debut closer to the car’s official launch in late 2017. For now, we know that the cheapest versions will cost $35,000, the car will be able to drive more than 215 miles on a charge, it will come with autopilot as standard equipment and its safety ratings should be top notch.
