The Tesla Model Y is a battery-electric mid-size SUV and one of the best-selling vehicles in the world. It was refreshed in 2025 under the internal name “Juniper”, which brought a restyled front and rear, slim LED light bars, and interior revisions. The standard car measures 4,797 mm long on a 2,890 mm wheelbase, and is built for China at Gigafactory Shanghai.
The Chinese lineup spans five versions. The rear-drive Model Y opens the range with 593 km of CLTC range and a 5.9-second 0 to 100 km/h time. The Long Range RWD uses a 78.4 kWh battery for 821 km of CLTC range and 5.6 seconds, the longest range in the family. The Long Range AWD adds a front motor and returns 750 km in 4.3 seconds. The Performance, added in September 2026, is the quickest Model Y in China at 3.5 seconds, with 659 km of range. At the top sits the six-seat Model Y L, a longer body measuring 4,976 mm with a 3,040 mm wheelbase, a 4.5-second 0 to 100 km/h time, and 776 km of range.
All versions use Tesla’s software platform, over-the-air updates, and access to the Supercharger network. Charging peaks at 250 kW on DC, or 170 kW on the rear-drive version.
Pricing starts from ¥263,500 (~$39,200) for the rear-drive version and rises to ¥369,000 (~$54,800) for the Performance, with the Model Y L at ¥339,000 (~$50,400).
