A Tesla Model 3 received the top rank, among a list of 11, for its automated driver assist system in a test conducted in China by motoring group Garage 42. Overall, the Tesla Model 3 received a total score of 283, leading with a significant gap from the second-place holder, the BMW X5, which had an overall score of 208.
The gap between Tesla and BMW speaks volumes, especially considering that the Model 3’s was running software 2020.24.6.4 instead of a more recent software update. It was also unclear whether Garage 42 based its scored solely on basic Autopilot or if they also utilized features that were exclusive to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving suite.
Garage 42 gave the cars scores for eight categories which are roughly translated below.
- Driving ability while in a congested road.
- Driving when met with special or unique circumstances
- Auxiliary lane changes
- Ability to execute curves
- Human-computer interaction
- Automatic Parking
- Night driving
- Driving ability whit it is raining
Garage 42’s categories seem appropriate for a test ranking automated driver-assist systems (ADAS) and each appear to hold the same weight in the total score. Tesla’s ADAS lost the top spot in Europe and North America in the past.
Here comes the ADAS ranking for all popular models in
. As usual, Model 3 comes on top, followed by BMW X5 & NIO ES6. LI One & Xpeng G3 rank 4th & 5th. Model 3 leads the distant 2nd by 75-point difference.

Consumer Reports in United States ranked Tesla’s ADAS second, deducting points of its lack of human monitoring features. And the Euro NCAP, in its first Assisted Driving Grading system, penalized Tesla for calling its ADAS “Autopilot.”
The Tesla Model 3 scored highest in all the categories except for automatic parking and when driven in congested roads. There have been a good number of Tesla users who have commented that the company’s Autopark feature still needs some work. The Tesla Model 3’s performance in congested roads may differ in each region. In China or other Southeast Asian countries, roads may be more congested than roads in North America and Europe.
