The 2025 Refreshed Model Y Launched in China
The refreshed Model Y has officially launched on Tesla's China website, debuting with a special edition model. The new Model Y introduces upgrades across design, cabin comfort, range, safety, and intelligence.
In terms of design, the refreshed Model Y draws inspiration from the Cyber Off-Road Tourer and Cyber Electric Autonomous Vehicles, resulting in a more robust and streamlined appearance. The car features an all-new front fascia, headlights, rear diffuser, wheels, and mirrors, including globally innovative diffused reflection taillights at the rear.
Performance improvements have been made to both efficiency and range. The refreshed Model Y can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 4.3 seconds. Thanks to various optimizations, the vehicle’s range has increased by over 30 kilometers, reaching up to 719 kilometers under China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) standards, achieving an industry-leading energy consumption rate of just 11.9 Wh/km under CLTC conditions.
Inside the cabin, passenger comfort has been enhanced through a newly calibrated suspension system that works alongside the body control system to improve vibration filtering on rough roads by 51%. Additional amenities include ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, and rear seats extended by 15 mm for added legroom. The rear seats can be folded flat with a single button to provide over 2,130 liters of cargo space. A panoramic glass roof with a new silver-coated layer offers improved sun protection and heat insulation.
Regarding safety, the refreshed Model Y comes standard with oversized crumple zones and far-side airbags. The extensive use of high-strength materials and the integration of a unibody casting process contribute to an even stronger chassis, enhancing overall vehicle rigidity.
