Overview
The Tesla Model Y is Tesla’s compact executive electric SUV, launched in this Juniper generation in 2025. It suits buyers seeking a five-seat RWD EV with up to 661 km of stated range, or families needing the six-seat AWD L Premium. Prices start from RM198,000.
Model Y in 2026 — what's new
The 2025-generation Model Y continues into 2026 with Rear-wheel Drive, Long Range RWD and six-seat L Premium choices. The Malaysian range loses the Long Range AWD, leaving the L Premium as its AWD option. Its latest change is an acceleration upgrade: the L Premium now reaches 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, with its RM263,000 price unchanged.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM219,000 Long Range RWD. For RM21,000 more than the Rear-wheel Drive, it extends stated range from 466 km to 661 km while retaining 295 hp, RWD and five seats. Pick the RM198,000 Rear-wheel Drive if lowest outlay matters most. Pay RM263,000 for the L Premium only if six seats and AWD matter; its 456 hp output and 4.5-second 0-100 km/h time are useful extras.
Verdict
The Long Range RWD is the sweet spot, pairing the range figure that matters most for longer trips with the same 295 hp output as the entry car. The L Premium is more specialised: its extra 20 km of stated range alone does not justify the RM44,000 step up, but AWD, six seats and stronger acceleration may. Entry pricing matches the Toyota Urban Cruiser and sits RM10,000 above the Suzuki eVitara.
