This is the Updated Tesla Model Y

Spy shots of the updated Tesla Model Y have been floating around for a little while now, but we don’t have to rely on leaks any longer. Tesla debuted the new EV in China last week, showing off significant styling updates, new tech, and a revised interior.

Pricing for the new Model Y starts at just under $36,000 at today’s conversion rates, a more than five-percent bump over the previous vehicle. Tesla opted to launch locally in China ahead of a global debut, but we don’t know when it will come to the States. The updated Model Y promises up to 447 miles of range on the CLTC cycle, and can reach 100 km/h (around 62 mph) in 4.3 seconds with all-wheel drive.

The new design is sleeker and more modern looking than the previous generation, and Tesla said the shape helps improve aerodynamics and efficiency. The Y also features revised suspension, wheels, and tires to improve the ride quality and noise levels.

Like the recently-updated Model 3, the new Model Y gets a 15.4-inch front touchscreen and an 8-inch rear display. Passengers can control media settings from any seat, and the infotainment system features improved navigation and gaming functionality. Full Self-Driving Supervised is available.
