## **Australian Deliveries Begin in May**

The updated Model Y will arrive in Australia in May 2025, initially available in **RWD** and **Long Range AWD** variants under a special **Launch Series**. However, both variants come with price increases:

- **RWD**: $63,400 (up $7500)
- **Long Range AWD**: $73,400 (up $3500)

## **Enhanced Range and Performance**

Tesla has improved driving ranges and acceleration times across the updated lineup:

- **Long Range AWD**: 551km (WLTP) range, 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds

Both variants now include the **Acceleration Boost** software upgrade as standard, previously an optional add-on.

## **Striking Cybertruck-Inspired Design**

The 2025 Model Y embraces a refreshed design that nods to Tesla’s futuristic **Cybertruck**:

- **Front End**: A sleek light bar spans the nose, complemented by separate lower lighting assemblies.
- **Rear Design**: A bold, full-width light bar creates a unique, rugged appearance.

Redesigned body castings also reduce parts, which Tesla says helps minimize road noise.

## **Interior Upgrades and New Tech**

Tesla has added cutting-edge updates to the interior, prioritizing both comfort and innovation:

- **Touchscreens**: A larger **15.4-inch central display** and a new **8.0-inch rear passenger screen**.
- **Seating**: Ventilated front seats and power-reclining rear seats.
- **Gear Selector**: Transitioned from a column-mounted stalk to a touchscreen interface.
- **Ambient Lighting**: Adds a splash of color to the cabin.

Launch Series models feature unique touches like black suede dashboard trim, exclusive badging, and puddle lights.

## **Redesigned Wheels and Suspension**

Tesla promises a smoother, more refined ride thanks to:

- Retuned suspension for better comfort and handling.
- New 20-inch alloy wheels for improved grip and reduced road noise.

## **Color Options and Pricing**

Tesla has also updated its color palette, retiring black while adding the striking **Glacier Blue**. Other options include **Pearl White**, **Stealth Grey**, **Quicksilver**, and **Ultra Red** – all at no extra cost for Launch Series buyers.

## **2025 Tesla Model Y Pricing in Australia**  

**Model** **Price (Before On-Road Costs)**

- 2025 Tesla Model Y Launch Series RWD $63,400
- 2025 Tesla Model Y Launch Series AWD $73,400

## **Recap**

With its refreshed design, upgraded tech, and enhanced performance, the 2025 Tesla Model Y is set to maintain its dominance in the EV market.
