The new price on the Model Y remains unchanged, performance and battery life are rising, and the home transportation is the first choice?
Recently, Tesla completed the mid-term facelift of the Model 3 and launched a mid-size pure electric sedan with a new exterior design. At the same time, Tesla Model Y produced in China has also completed annual changes, although the new model has not undergone a transformation in appearance, and the price is exactly the same as the current model, but with some details and configuration updates, the overall competitiveness of the vehicle has actually improved.
In terms of appearance, Tesla did not bring any body shape changes to Model Y this time, the headlights of the willow eyebrow shape still fit the part of the front wheel eyebrow towards the engine compartment bulge, and the closed front face is as similar as possible to the sedan product, in addition to visually bringing a sense of diving, but also reducing the body wind resistance, making the vehicle easier to control.
Objectively speaking, the body length, width and height of 4750/1921/1624mm is a relatively low value in the mid-size SUV market, but on the other hand, we also found that the wheelbase of 2890mm is working hard to expand the storage space, and its thick rear disposal will also contribute to the optimization of the rear and trunk. But still that problem, the panoramic sky that improves the lighting in the cabin, and the sliding back design still squeeze the height of the car, which makes the 175cm tall person do not have much head margin in the back seat, but fortunately, the legs are still very spacious.
In addition, the trunk of the car is wider than we expected, and even the 24-inch and 28-inch trolley cases can easily close the doors when placed flat and horizontal, which is even greater than the depth of the NIO ES6. In addition, the Model Y also has a front trunk that can accommodate a 20-inch trolley case, and the overall storage is completely fine.
However, for the appearance, although the body shape has not changed, Model Y has added some detail adjustments, such as Tesla on the wheels to provide the vehicle with a twin-shaped 19-inch wheel option, which will make the vehicle look more young and avant-garde.
In terms of interior, the center console of the cockpit is still as minimalist as ever, but the decorative materials of the dashboard have been replaced with technological textiles, which look and feel more delicate than the old model, and with the new multi-color car ambient lights embedded, it will also appear more modern and high-grade than the traditional wood grain trim. It is reported that the Model Y also provides an NVH package to further improve the comprehensive ride comfort in the cabin.
According to overseas media reports, the new generation of Model Y has been applied to the new HW 4.0 software and hardware, including circuit boards, Ethernet interfaces, audio drivers, GPUs, etc. have been adjusted or upgraded, it will simplify the layout and lines at the same time, allowing users to intuitively feel the optimization of the response of the vehicle, and whether this change continues from the California factory to the Shanghai factory, we still don't know.
In terms of three electricity, the upgrade of Model Y is very significant, the maximum power of the rear motor of the rear-wheel drive version has been increased from 194kW to 220kW, and the maximum torque has increased directly from 340N·m to 440N·m, which makes Model Y break 100 in 5.9 seconds from the beginning, a full 1 second faster than the old model, and its CLTC pure electric range has also increased slightly from 545km to 554km. The long-range all-wheel drive version remains unchanged in terms of power, the 331kW, 559N·m dual motors allow the vehicle to break 100 in 5.0 seconds, but the cruising range has increased from 660km to 688km, while the Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version maintains the same three-electric specifications: 3.7 seconds to break 100, 615km range.
Write at the end
As we mentioned at the beginning, the Tesla Model Y did not undergo the same mid-term facelift as the same sedan as the same door, and it came later in this small facelift with some details and configuration adjustments. But what can be seen is that the vehicle's performance is indeed being upgraded through software upgrades. More importantly, according to the reveal, Model Y has actually ushered in HW 4.0 and NVH kits, but Tesla's official new car promotion did not mention these two important adjustments, the specific situation, after the actual car is measured on the road, we will bring it to you.
