Almost five years ago, the first Model Y units were delivered to customers, marking the beginning of a global best-seller. Today, Tesla is introducing the upgraded Model Y in the UAE.
The new Model Y showcases extensive reengineering that enhances efficiency, comfort, connectivity, and safety, featuring a complete redesign of both the interior and exterior.
In 2023, Model Y made history as the first-ever electric vehicle to top the global best-seller list across all vehicle types and powertrains. With final confirmation still pending, Model Y is on track to be the world’s best-selling car again in 2024. This highlights how electric vehicles are appealing to a broad audience and suited for a variety of needs.
Since 2022, Model Y has been produced in Europe at the Tesla Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory in Germany for the Middle Eastern market. It has already contributed significantly to transitioning the local fleet to sustainable transportation, aligning with Tesla’s mission.
With the launch of the new Model Y, Tesla continues to build on this global best-seller to set a new benchmark for the market.
The new Model Y is crafted for optimal ride comfort while preserving the agility and driving experience Tesla is known for. With new chassis settings and features derived from the upgraded Model 3, passengers enjoy a high level of comfort without compromising on handling.
This redesign has reduced drag, and combined with new wheels and low-resistance tires, the range has been enhanced. Tesla’s attention to every energy-consuming subsystem has led to significant efficiency improvements, offering real-world benefits to owners without extra costs.
The new front camera, now integrated into the front fascia, provides an expanded view of surroundings on the center screen and includes features like a washer and integrated heating to keep it clean and free of fog in all conditions.
With acoustic glass on every surface and new sound-dampening materials, the new Model Y offers a quieter ride. Road, impact, and wind noise are reduced by 22%, 20%, and 20%, respectively. The upgraded low-E glass roof reflects 7 times more solar energy, reducing heat transfer into the cabin. Combined with the HEPA filtration system and advanced heat pump technology, the vehicle ensures a comfortable temperature for all passengers.
The front seats have been redesigned for greater comfort and now feature ventilation. The second-row seats are also more convenient, with easier-to-access buckles, longer cushions, deeper bolsters, powered recline, and fold-flat functionality. All rows are heated and seamlessly integrate with climate control.
The new center console now has sliding doors with smooth, precise movement, and is made of genuine aluminum, revealing cupholders and additional storage. Aluminum accents are also present on the steering wheel, door trims, and instrument panels.
The driving experience remains clutter-free with both haptic switches and physical buttons. Ergonomics have been improved with customizable steering wheel switches, offering easy access to frequently used functions. A new precision-engineered indicator stalk ensures effortless control, while blind spot indicators are integrated into the front doors’ tweeter areas, complementing the existing on-screen indicators.
Charging is made convenient with front and rear USB-C ports providing up to 65W of power to quickly charge laptops and other devices.
The Tesla audio system, with up to 16 speakers, has been redesigned for a more immersive listening experience. Some speakers are now invisible thanks to an acoustically transparent textile material, which complements the sleek design while improving audio performance. Microphone improvements also result in 66% clearer calls.
Connectivity has been upgraded with faster cellular speeds—50% quicker download speeds and 30% greater range. Wi-Fi performance is up to 300% faster, ensuring smoother video streaming and quicker software updates. Additionally, phone key performance is 10 times more reliable, now enabling hands-free trunk opening when paired with the Tesla app.
As with all Tesla vehicles, these hardware improvements will enable new features through over-the-air software updates, free of charge for owners.
The new Model Y is now available for order in the UAE.
The new Model Y is available in two new paint options: Ultra Red, a high-chroma color with dynamic depth, and Stealth Grey, a rich dark grey metallic that accentuates the shape of the Model Y.
If you are looking for the legacy Model Y, it is available in the UAE starting at AED 198,170.
