The new Tesla Model Y is available from £44,990, with orders now open and deliveries expected in June.
There are four variants as follows:
• Rear-Wheel Drive starting from £44,990
• Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive starting from £48,990
• Long Range All-Wheel Drive starting from £51,990
• Launch Series at £60,990
The Model Y was already the most efficient SUV in its class. By reworking every energy-consuming sub-system, Tesla has unlocked significant improvements in energy efficiency, resulting in real-world gains for owners without additional costs.
The new Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive sets new standards for efficiency within the Model Y range – only 22.36 kWh/100mi. This is lower than many small city cars, while offering the space of a full-size versatile SUV. When combined with connected Trip Planner and Tesla Superchargers, the largest and most reliable fast-charging network globally, road trip possibilities are limitless.
The new Tesla Model Y has an electric driving range of up to 387 miles:
Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive
• Up to 311 miles of range (WLTP)
• 22.36 kWh/100mi consumption
• 0-60mph in 5.6s
• Starting at £44,990
Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive
• Up to 387 miles of range (WLTP)
• 22.89 kWh/100 miles consumption
• 0-60mph in 5.4s
• Starting at £48,990
Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive
• Up to 364 miles of range (WLTP)
• 23.82 kWh/100 miles consumption
• 0-60mph in 4.6s
• Starting at £51,990
Model Y Launch Series
• Up to 353 miles of range (WLTP)
• 23.82 kWh/100 miles consumption
• 0-60mph in 4.1s
• Starting at £60,990
As well as new exterior and interior design, all new Model Y vehicles include cross-car front and rear lightbars, acoustic glass, 8” rear touchscreen, hands-free trunk opening, customisable ambient lighting, and an additional front facing camera.
The two front seats have been redesigned for improved comfort and are now ventilated. The second-row seats offer enhanced comfort and convenience with easier-to-access buckles, longer cushions, deeper bolsters, with powered recline and fold-flat operation. Both first and second rows are heated and are working with integrated climate controls.
Ride comfort has been enhanced while still retaining the Tesla signature agility and handling. The new Model Y boasts new chassis hardware, including a stiffer body structure, redesigned suspension geometry and kinematics, also borrowing damping technology from the upgraded Model 3. The new front suspension geometry and steering gear allow for a slightly slower steering ratio that better matches the character of the new Model Y, while improving response linearity, predictability and consistency, especially on motorways.
Rear suspension geometry has been redesigned with a focus on reducing impact harshness. Suspension kinematics have been optimised both in the front and rear axle to improve disturbance rejection over bumpy roads. Dampers now have frequency dependence to improve high-frequency isolation.
With the introduction of acoustic glass on every surface, paired with new sound-dampening materials, the new Model Y is quieter. Road noise is reduced by 22%, impact noise by 20% and wind noise by 20%. An upgraded new low-E glass roof reflects seven times more solar energy which reduces heat transfer into the cabin, and the new Model Y features advanced heat pump technology.
All new Model Y vehicles delivered in Europe are built in the Tesla Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory in Germany. New manufacturing processes have been implemented to provide improved build quality and material refinements deliver a higher quality appearance and increased sound dampening.
