Electric car news
Records are made to be broken. The Tesla Model Y proved it by becoming the best-selling car in the world in 2023 with more than 3.5 million copies sold. Faced with increasingly aggressive competition, the American manufacturer is reacting with a major overhaul of its best-seller.
A refined design for maximum efficiency
The aesthetic evolution of the 2025 Model Y is not just a question of style. The modifications made make it possible to achieve remarkable consumption of 15.3 kWh/100 kma decrease of 1.6 kWh compared to the previous version.
- A lowered hood for better penetration into the air
- An optimized rear diffuser reducing drag
- Rims with a specific design limiting turbulence
These aerodynamic improvements allow the Model Y Long Range to achieve 568 kilometers of WLTP rangea gain of 33 km. The exterior dimensions change slightly with a length increased to 4.79 meterswhile the width (1.98 m) and height (1.62 m) remain almost identical.
A redesigned interior for greater comfort
The interior takes a significant leap forward with the integration of elements previously reserved for higher segments. The front seats now benefit from a active ventilation as standardwhile general soundproofing benefits from acoustic glazing on all glass surfaces.
The multimedia system is built around a central screen of 15.4 inches with refined edges. The rear passengers are not left out with the appearance of a 8 inch screen allowing climate control and entertainment. The power rear seat offers recline adjustment and can fold down from multiple control points.
Pricing and positioning
The new Model Y is positioned at 60 990 euros in the Launch Edition Long Range Integral Transmission version. This increase of 9,000 euros compared to the outgoing model is accompanied by an enriched allocation.
-The entry-level versions, assembled in Berlin, should maintain their eligibility for the ecological bonus with a base price expected below the bar. 47 000 euros. Faced with the Volkswagen ID.4, Renault Scénic E-Tech, and Peugeot E-3008, the Model Y 2025 is banking on its record efficiency and technological innovations to maintain its dominant position on the market.
European production, ensured by the Berlin Gigafactory, guarantees optimized delivery times for the French market. The first deliveries are planned for the second quarter of 2025.
