Minimalist Interior Packed with Tech

The Tesla Model Y follows the brand’s signature minimalist approach. Inside, the cabin has a minimalist design with a clean layout and hardly any physical buttons. Instead, almost every function is controlled through a massive 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The interior is mostly covered in soft-touch plastics, giving it a premium feel. Ambient lighting adds a stylish touch, especially at night, enhancing the car’s futuristic vibe.

Top-Notch Safety Features

Spacious Boot for All Needs

One of the biggest advantages of the Model Y is its massive boot space. Offering 822 litres of storage space, it easily accommodates large amounts of luggage.If you fold down the rear seats, the space expands to a whopping 2,022 litres perfect for moving large items or going on long road trips.

Performance and Range

Tesla hasn’t shared all the technical details about the battery and motor yet, but they have revealed some key performance numbers. The Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) model goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, has a top speed of 201 km/h, and offers a range of 500 km (WLTP). The Long Range RWD version is slightly quicker, hitting 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, with the same top speed of 201 km/h but a much longer range of 622 km (WLTP).
