Tesla has today launched the new, lower-priced version of its Model 3 car in Europe, a few months after releasing it in the US, the company's website showed.

The new Model 3 Standard is aimed at reinvigorating demand, the electric vehicle maker has said.

The move follows the October launch of a lower-priced Model Y crossover in Europe and comes as Tesla seeks to defend its market share against European and Chinese rivals offering increasingly cheaper electric cars in Europe.

The new Model 3 Standard is listed at €37,970 in Germany, 330,056 Norwegian crowns ($32,698) in Norway and 449,990 Swedish crowns ($47,820) in Sweden, according to Tesla's website.

Tesla introduced the Standard variant of the Model 3 in the US in October but until now this had not been available in European markets.

The car currently sells for $36,990 in the US.
