The wait is finally over as Tesla has officially unveiled the redesigned Model Y “Juniper”. The world’s best-selling EV benefits from a host of upgrades, including refreshed styling and a more refined interior packed with technology. The improvements go beyond aesthetics, as the 2025 Model Y is quicker, quieter, and smoother, while boasting an extended range compared to its predecessor.
In the taste of flavor, gender obtains a remarkable image change. In the front, the written nose has divided the headgentles and a soft full width LED bar, obviously encouraged through Cybertruck and Cybercab. The bumper design echoes the Highlands Model 3, but adds the lateral intake for a little more style.
Interestingly, Tesla’s global design language shows some regional quirks, while some markets, adding Australia, have ditched the bonnet-mounted Tesla badge in favor of the minimalist Cybertruck approach, the Chinese edition helping to keep the emblem.

Around the back, the updates continue with a full-width darkened light strip, which Tesla calls its first “indirect reflective body panel taillight.” It’s a fancy way of saying it looks futuristic while giving off a Tron-like glow. The tailgate design is cleaner, and a larger rear diffuser adds some subtle aggression. Meanwhile, while Tesla says the exterior is “completely redesigned,” most of the side profile looks unchanged aside from tweaks to the front fenders and sensor placement.
The overall duration was greater than 41 mm (1. 6 inches) to 4,792 mm (188. 7 inches). In addition, the EV is extended on a new 20-inch Helix 2. 0 wheelset, while safe markets also offload 19-inch crossover wheels adapted to black-finished aerodynamics.
There is also a new blue “blue glacier” tone that replaces the darkest “deep blue”, at least in launch markets.
Refined Interior
Moving inside, Tesla has maintained the family minimalist design of the cabin, while introducing many improvements. The information and the info between is larger than 15. 4 inches (top 15 inches), while there is an additional 8 -inch touch screen for rear passengers. The design and padding of the new seat offered greater comfort and support, adding a ventilated on the front and a reclining rear bank that can fall.

The board, the central console and the door cards have also been redesigned, with a new environment of environmental lighting, touch and tactile finishes and vegan suede inserts for the launch series. Unlike Highlands Model 3, the style juniper guide wheel maintains a classical indicator rod, the variety of gears has been incorporated into the central screen. Finally, there is a new audio formula with hidden speakers that would offer a higher sound quality.
A smoother walk with smarter technology
Tesla claims that the new styling is calmer and more subtle than ever thanks to aerodynamic adjustments, new acoustic glass, reactive suspension and optimized tires. The revised chassis configuration also includes more responsive steering. Of course, the EV benefits from the new edition of Tesla’s full autonomous capability, which remains to be had as an option.
Quicker And More Efficient
First, the 20225 style will be in two versions: access at the RWD level of access and long traction of the daily. Tesla has not announced its battery capacity, however, WLTP diversity is estimated at 466 km (290 miles) and 551 km (342 miles) respectively. These figures are 11 km (7 miles) and 18 km (11 miles) more compared to the equivalent versions of the outgoing style, a building that can be attributed to the improvement of aerodynamics. The maximum load speed remains unchanged at 250 kW, adding up to 266 km (165 miles) in 15 minutes when it is connected to a fast charger.

While we have no data on the output of electric motors, none of the versions are faster than before. The RWD adjustment now leaves 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5. 9 moments, shaving a full moment of its predecessor time. Meanwhile, the special traction “launch edition” is supplied with the “acceleration impulse” as standard, achieving the same board in only 4. 3 moments, a slight improvement of 0. 1 moments.
For context, the past AWD style controlled 0-100 km/h in 5. 0 seconds without the spice and 4. 4 seconds with it. In either case, the most sensitive speed is electronically limited to 201 km/h (125 miles), which is slower than before.
A tougher, faster style style functionality makes its debut in the coming months, with the same 510 hp (North American spec) twin-engine configuration as the revised Style 3 functionality. This edition comes with highlights like adaptive damping, V3 track mode. and a more competitive frame kit, which mirrors the upgrades seen on its sedan counterpart.
Prices and availability
The model and updated is already live from Tesla in several regions of Asia-Pacific, with deliveries that begin in April or May 2025 depending on the market. In Australia, the RWD adjustment begins in AU $ 63,400 (equal to US $ 39,300 to existing exchange rates), while the long -range AWD launch edition will charge AU $ 73,400 (US $ 45,500).
Both trims are pricier than before, with increases of AU$7,500 (US$ 4,600) and AU$3,500 (US$ 2,200) respectively. However, pricing for the regular Long Range AWD trim is expected to reflect a similar increase to that of the RWD model when it becomes available.
The costs and availability of the US market will be announced soon, so they are still attentive.
