The updated Tesla Model Y debuted in China

The Juniper project has finally been declassified, and the premiere took place not in the USA, but in China, where more than 400 thousand copies of the electrocross were sold in less than 2024. Model Y received a revised bumper design and interior from the Model 3. The most powerful version develops 450 horsepower and a maximum range of 719 kilometers. The price starts at 263,500 yuan (3.7 million rubles). Deliveries will begin in March.

The front of the Tesla Model Y has been redesigned in the spirit of the Cybertruck electric pickup truck. Now it is crowned with a thin LED DRL unit, and the main headlights are placed below. The “facelift” made it possible to slightly reduce the drag coefficient – from the previous 0.23 to 0.22. At the rear there is a monolight and a small spoiler. Model Y also has new wheels with a diameter of 19 or 20 inches and a new blue body color.

The length of the new product reaches 4797 millimeters, which is 47 more than its predecessor. The width is 1920 millimeters, the height is 1624 millimeters with a wheelbase of 2890 millimeters.

Inside there is a 15-inch display of a multimedia system based on an AMD Ryzen processor. As usual with Tesla, there is no instrument panel: all data is displayed on the central monitor. There are no controls on the central tunnel, and the space is given over to wireless charging and storage boxes. In addition, Tesla has made the seats more comfortable: the rear one has been lengthened by 15 millimeters, the headrests have been widened by 17 millimeters, and the electric drive has been improved. The panoramic roof is now available with a silver finish, and the audio system can be equipped with up to 16 speakers.

Electronic assistants rely on AI4 hardware – improved sensors and cameras and a new, more accurate radar. According to Car News China, in 2025 Tesla may introduce its FSD (Full Self-Driving, or “fully autonomous driving”) system into the updated Model Y for China. This is Tesla’s most advanced autopilot, but according to the SAE classification it still belongs to level 2+ and does not allow you to remove your hands from the steering wheel.
