Tesla Model Y 2025

For the 2025 edition, the Tesla Model Y now comes in four distinct powertrains, consolidating its position as the reference in the family electric SUV segment. Starting at €40,990, the model covers a wide spectrum: basic rear-wheel drive (202 kW, 455 km range), Long Range versions with 79 kWh battery (220 kW or 258 kW all-wheel drive), and a muscular Performance version at 340 kW. This pricing strategy allows Tesla to appeal to electric buyers seeking versatility without spending more than €58,000. It remains to be seen whether the streamlined offer and software updates compensate for the lack of major innovation in design or interface.

Design and interior

At standard compact SUV dimensions (4775 mm long, 1850 mm wide), the Model Y retains its streamlined silhouette with no notable styling changes this year. The interior remains characterized by the horizontal touchscreen dominating the dashboard, integrating both instrumentation and most vehicle control functions.

The boot displays a respectable capacity: 854 liters in standard configuration, expandable to 2000 liters with seats folded. The 2875 mm wheelbase facilitates access to three rows of seats in certain configurations, although rear seat comfort remains that of a compact SUV. Towing capacity up to 1600 kg for models equipped with the transmission system.

Powertrain and performance

The 2025 range is structured around four distinct motors. The entry Rear-Wheel Drive (202 kW, 275 hp) delivers 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, sufficient for daily use without sporting pretensions. The Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive rises to 220 kW (300 hp) and 5.9 seconds, while the Long Range All-Wheel Drive combines 258 kW (351 hp) and 5.1 seconds. At the top, the Performance version boasts 340 kW (462 hp) and 0-100 in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 241 km/h compared to 217 km/h for the other three variants.

The batteries used are a 60 kWh for the entry Rear-Wheel Drive and a 79 kWh for all other models. DC charging powers reach 170 kW for the basic Rear-Wheel Drive and 250 kW for higher versions, while AC charging is limited to 11 kW across the range.

Range and charging

In terms of range, the Model Y displays contrasting figures depending on the version. The entry Rear-Wheel Drive claims 455 km WLTP, while the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive claims 600 km, the best rate in the range. The Performance version, despite its increased power, declares 514 km WLTP range. The Long Range All-Wheel Drive does not officially communicate its WLTP range, a point to clarify with Tesla.

Fast charging on direct current proves the main asset: 250 kW on Long Range and Performance models enable 10 to 80% recharges in less than 30 minutes on a V3 Supercharger. Domestic 11 kW alternating current charging remains slow for an SUV of this capacity, requiring a full night for a complete charge on a 79 kWh battery.

Equipment and technology

The user interface relies on the single horizontal touchscreen, providing access to climate control, navigation, music and driving assistance functions. Tesla promises regular software updates, continuously enriching vehicle capabilities without mechanical intervention.

Advanced Autopilot options and autonomous driving capabilities remain available, although the French legal framework continues to restrict their use in real conditions. The spacious boot and towing capacity complete a functional rather than innovative proposition. No mention of a bidirectional V2L charging system appears in the provided specifications, unlike some competitors.
