Updated Tesla Model Y: pricing, specs and range

Tesla is now accepting orders for the updated Model Y, which is priced from £44,990.

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.

The model line-up kicks off with the 299PS Rear-Wheel Drive, with a 57.5kWh battery, priced at £44,990.

For £48,990, the 340PS Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive ups its battery capacity to 75kWh and has the longest range of the bunch at 387 miles. Tesla claims it can achieve an efficiency figure of almost 4.4mi/kWh.

The Long Range All-Wheel-Drive adds a second motor, boosting power to 514PS and achieving a 0-62mph acceleration time of less than five seconds.

The Launch Series, available since January, remains on sale at £60,990. It's likely this version will be replaced by a 'Performance' variant in due course.

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.

All models are equipped with heated and ventilated front seats and heated and reclining rear 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. 

The new Model Y is available to order now, with first deliveries taking place in June.
