Made for Europe in the Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory, this electric SUV introduces hardware and equipment improvements, along with a slightly revised exterior and interior design. The first Deliveries will begin in September, with reservations already available in our market.
Technical sheet and performance
The recipe is known but more refined: two engines (one per axle) for all-wheel drive, combined power of 460 CV and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km / h in 3,5 seconds. The maximum speed is set at 250 km/h, striking figures for an SUV 4,8 meters and a weight around 2.033 kg.
- Power: 460 HP (AWD)
- Acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 3,5 s
- Speed: 250 km / h
- Average consumption: 16,2 kWh/100 km
- Range: 580 km (WLTP cycle)
- Battery: Higher energy density cells (capacity not specified)
- Dimensions (approx.): 4,8 m long; 1,98 m wide; 1,61 m high
- Manufactured in: Germany (Berlin-Brandenburg)
Tesla points out a battery pack checked with new, higher-density cells, capable of delivering more energy without increasing weight. The brand is aiming for a outstanding efficiency, with 580km WLTP and an average approved expenditure of 16,2 kWh / 100 km.
Chassis, dynamics and brakes
The qualitative leap comes in the dynamic part: new shock absorbers, stabilizer bars and specific bushings work with a adaptive suspension Designed to improve response and control. Adjustments are offered with a more comfortable or firmer configuration to maximize potential without compromising daily use.
The 21-inch forged wheels (Arachnid 2.0 design) incorporate aerodynamic covers and leave some in view red brake calipers with greater bite. The assembly prioritizes rigidity, precision and stability at high speed, improving the feeling of connection with the road.
With this hardware, the Model Y Performance wins in agility and support cornering, while retaining the range's typical efficiency. It's a more mature setup that seeks balance between performance and comfort.
Design and interior
On the outside there are subtle but recognizable changes: specific bumpers front and back, carbon fiber spoiler and gloss black details for a more technical look. These are touches that reinforce its status within the Y family.
Inside, the protagonist is a 16-inch center screen with thinner frames and almost a 80% more pixels than the 15,4" of other variants. They add Performance seats with thigh extension, aluminum pedals and inserts of carbon fiber to underline the sporting focus.
Elements already known in the model are maintained, such as the panoramic glass roof with acoustic glass, the 8-inch rear screen, software updates via OTA and the package driving assistance standard.
Price and availability in Spain
The new Model And Performance is already listed in the configurator for Spain by 61.990 EurosThe first customer units will be delivered from September, with production destined for Europe from the factory in Berlin-Brandenburg.
By positioning, it combines sports acceleration to 580km WLTP at a price that makes things difficult for similar rivals, as well as variants within the range itself such as the Model YL: Proposals such as XPeng G7 or Smart #5 play the cost and power card, while alternatives such as Hyundai ioniq 5 o Ford Mustang Mach E They offer comparable acceleration performance, although with consumption and rates that, in many cases, are higher.
The new iteration of Tesla's SUV bets on more control, more equipment and careful efficiency without raising the price. With 460 hp, 0-100 in 3,5 s, approved autonomy of 580 km and a revised chassis, the Model Y Performance is positioned as one of the most complete variants in the range for those looking for performance and daily use in the same package.
