Tesla has officially launched its redesigned Model Y in North America and Europe, weeks after the vehicle was unveiled in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the new version hasn’t replaced the original Model Y, at least not yet, but Tesla does sell both of them on its website. Right now, you can get the long-term all-wheel-drive Launch Series variant of the new Model Y in the U.S., with prices starting at $46,490. The Launch Series is a limited edition release with exclusive badging on the rear liftgate, puddle lights, door plates and other parts of the car.
The new Model Y retains the proportions of the old version, but with smaller headlights and taillights with rounded edges that reserve a redesigned light bar. Inside, it wraps around most of the car, ventilated seats and a 15.4-inch touchscreen up front. The second row seats have power recline and can be folded flat. Passengers sitting in the back row also have access to a Bluetooth-enabled 8-inch rear screen display with touch panel.
The new long-range all-wheel drive Model Y has an estimated range of 325 miles and a top speed of 125 mph, going from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. By comparison, the older Model Y’s long-range AWD could reach 311 miles on a single charge, top speed of 135 mph, and 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds. Deliveries of the new Model Y will begin in March. If you want to get the older version, please note that its price starts at $31,490, but there is a $4,000 price increase in Canada.
