While the Model Y maintains its unique shape, these updates give it a fresher, more modern look.
The Model Y's interior sees significant improvements, mirroring many enhancements seen in the Model 3:
- Ventilated front seats.
- Redesigned steering wheel with push-button signals.
- Rear-seat display panel for climate control, games, and video content.
Tesla's site hints at better material quality and sound-deadening features, similar to those that earned the updated Model 3 a spot on the 2025 10Best Cars list.
While specific U.S. specs and trims are still under wraps, differences are expected compared to the Chinese variant, such as the availability of the Performance trim, popular in North America.
The price hike, if any, over the current $44,630 model should be minor, with more details anticipated as the North American launch approaches.
Summary: The 2025 Tesla Model Y "Juniper" offers stylistic and interior enhancements, poised to maintain its competitive edge in the electric SUV market. With a fresh look, upgraded features, and pending North American reveals, this model continues to intrigue as its launch nears.
