With the release of the new Tesla Model Y coming to France, many are wondering what is really changing beyond the small pencil. And in fact, Tesla has given a double bite to make this 2025 Model Y a truly improved version. Whether outside, where the changes are easily visible, or inside, where they are sometimes more subtle, and even at the chassis level, we find design details that should make the Y stand out from the rest of the electric vehicles.

Let’s go back to the highlights of this Restyled model that was just made available in France. For now, only a limited edition is offered – the Tesla Model Y Launch Autonomy Grande Autonomy series – at a price of EUR 60,990. What makes this new version so special?

Improved structure

Tesla likes to innovate in the chassis of its vehicles, especially with the introduction of the famous gigacasting some time ago. This time for the Y 2025, the manufacturer says the chassis includes a more rigid body structure, geometry and revised suspension kinetics.

In addition, the amortization technology was also reviewed by borrowing what happened for the improved Model 3. As always with Tesla, having benefited from one of its two most popular cars, it uses the other as soon as possible.

Cathedral silence

Although it is difficult to make a clear opinion before actually testing the car, silence should be on board the Y 2025. In fact, new sound materials appear in the passenger compartment, which allows to significantly reduce ambient noise.

However, it is undoubtedly the acoustic glass that now equips every glass surface that will make the difference. Tesla claims a 22% reduction in road noise, 20% impact sounds and 20% wind noise. Finally, the air conditioning system is also quieter and even more efficient.

The interior and technology are upmarket

If the exterior is well redesigned, the interior of the Y 2025 is also deeply redesigned. Starting with the front seats redesigned for even more comfort, but also ventilated. It’s no surprise since the restyled Model 3 benefited from it once it was released, but that 18-month gap is now caught, just in time winter summer.

The cabin is decorated with aluminum and high-end textiles, assembled with even more precision, if we believe the brand. The sound system also changes to provide an even more immersive experience, Tesla says. The speakers become completely invisible thanks to the transparent textile material.

The Y 2025 emphasizes connectivity without clearly showing color. Tesla claims it offers much better cellular and Wi-Fi performance, but we don’t know if that means Wi-Fi 6, 6. or 7, or 5G. The fact remains that Wi-Fi download speeds improve by 300%, with a 200% improved range. 50% faster downloads and 30% more range are promised on cellular networks.

Finally, reliability and key performance on a smartphone have been multiplied by 10, with the addition of ultralong band (UWB).

Motorized rear seats

This is one of the good surprises that probably wasn’t necessary: ​​the rear seats are motorized. More specifically, it is to return the seats back to their original position to make this engine useful. Until now, it was necessary to fold the seats by hand, but now this is ancient history.

Of course, the usefulness of this addition will depend on your habits, but from Tesla it is quite good to see the resolution of its new old.

Remarkable light signature

This is undoubtedly what will do the most talking, at least without getting inside the new Tesla Model Y. With the front and rear completely redesigned to take pride of place to the futuristic light signature, a new pace from the American SUV the American company will not leave you indifferent.

The front is much more aggressive, with optics much finer than in the previous version. In this case, a crossbar appears (reminiscent of a Cybertruck or Cybercab), giving it an appearance that has nothing to do with the previous version.

As with any design change, it won’t be able to appeal to everyone. The back is also well redesigned, with an innovative light strip. It is truly a first world, as we are in the presence of an indirect lighting system with an external reflection, which projects the light of the rear lights on the wall lamp. In fact, it is a transverse fire of 1.60 meters, making it one of the largest in the entire industry.

Mine consumption

An electric car must focus on sobriety. In this game, the old model was already among the best in the segment, but the 2025 version comes to compete. With WLTP consumption shown at 15.3 kWh/100 km (on 20-inch wheels), the new model shows that Tesla has not turned its thumbs far from it.

Every energy-consuming subsystem has been redesigned and significant improvements have been made in terms of energy efficiency. In practice, if we compare with the old version, we see an improvement in WLTP consumption of around 10%. It remains to be seen how this will translate to real-world conditions, especially at high speed, but it’s promising.

Camera under the bumper, finally!

Tesla made us turn in the watery exit of the Model 3, which was in the summer of 2023, because the first shots showed with a camera in the front, embedded under the bumper. However, there really wasn’t one, and it was no doubt a mistake in the visuals that went along the way.

Here we are in 2025, with a restyling of the Tesla model that integrates another camera, very useful for low-speed maneuvers. It is the company’s second vehicle to be equipped with such a camera, as the Cybertruck has one.

This camera is also equipped with an integrated washing and heating system, so it remains useful regardless of the climatic conditions.

It does everything better than the old one

The 2025 version of the LA Model Y does everything better than the old one and is full of new features besides its outdoor pencil. However, we cannot close this article without mentioning the price of the only available version that was available at launch: €60,990. This is a very significant additional cost compared to the old autonomy of the Y Grande model with all-wheel drive, which was exchanged for €47,990.

The initial additional cost of the Limited Edition series doesn’t really seem justified, especially if he is to see the Model Y for less than €50,000 in a few months. A large volume of sales should probably start at that time, the limited edition offered in the East is only to offer a premium vehicle to the most transient.

Anyway, with this restyled model, it is a safe bet that Tesla will not be afraid in 2025 in the Electric SUV segment, where the best sales of 2023 and 2024 should be there.
