Reuters15:54

STOCKHOLM, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Tesla launched the new, lower-priced version of its Model 3 car in Europe on Friday, a few months after releasing it in the United States, the company's website showed.

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

Tesla shares turned positive in overnight trading.

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 euros ($44 299,60) 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 United States in October but until now this had not been available in European markets.

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