UK prices are not yet available, as the new Model Y currently only appears on Tesla’s Australian and Chinese websites.
Five years on from its debut, the Tesla Model Y has received a major facelift, including a new-look design, a revamped interior and extra performance.
However, Tesla has launched the new car in a rather unusual way. Despite being the world’s best-selling EV, and one of the most popular new cars in the UK, the new Model Y has, for now at least, only been officially announced in China and Australia.
The car is right there, on Tesla’s Chinese and Australian websites, but there’s no mention of it in any other region. It’s a bit of a strange move, but then Tesla has never been one to operate in a traditional way, and an onslaught of Chinese EVs flooding the market means that’s arguably where the Model Y has its biggest fight.

Inside, the new Tesla Model Y has a cabin similar to that of the Model 3, which was updated in 2024. Tesla’s trademark minimalism remains, and has even been turned up a notch over the old Model Y, as the gear shifter and indicator stalks have been removed. As with the current Model 3, the gear shifter is now on the 15.4in touchscreen and the indicators are on the steering wheel – a relocation we criticised duringour time with a Model 3, and still disagree with today.

The new Model Y also gains a second touchscreen, an 8-inch display mounted between the front seats, which gives rear passengers access to the car’s infotainment system.
Another interior change is the addition of an LED light strip that runs across the tops of the doors and around the back of the dashboard.
We haven’t seen UK and US specs or prices yet for the new Model Y – or a release date – but we’ll be sure to update this article when they arrive.
