Tesla has revealed an updated version of the Model Y, which is set to go on sale at the end of January.
The Model Y 'Juniper' features a new-look front end which takes inspiration from Tesla's Cybertruck.
Tesla claims the new styling benefits both aerodynamics and safety.
Changes have also been applied to the car's suspension, in order to improve ride quality and refinement.
Acoustic glass and additional sound proofing is said to reduce interior noise levels by 20%.
In keeping with the Model 3's facelift, last year, the new Model Y gets an uplift in interior quality. The dashboard remains minimalist, with all controls integrated into the central touchscreen. For rear seat passengers there is now a second screen between the two front seats.
Unlike the Model 3, the new Model Y retains a conventional indicator stalk.
By reworking every energy-consuming subsystem, Tesla says it has unlocked significant improvements in energy efficiency, resulting in real-world gains for owners without additional costs.
Tesla will initially offer the new Model Y in one Launch Series Variant, priced at £60,990.
It comes with the Long Range AWD powertrain promises a 353-mile range, up from 313 miles from the old car.
Additional versions will be added to the line-up later in the year.
