TeslaThe appeal of theModel YThe sales volume of the Model Y in July was 36,299 units. It is a pure electric SUV with a starting price of 249,900 yuan. At present, the only SUV of the same price from other brands that can achieve this sales volume is the Ideal L series. The L6 sold 24,856 units in July, and the sales volume of the L7 was 11,403 units. The two brothers can barely compete with each other. This shows how high the gold content of the Model Y is. However, those who are considering buying it are advised to wait! Because the new Model Y is coming soon, the new car has changed a lot, and the 2025 modelZeekr 001Everyone understands the lesson learned before us, right?

Let's take a look at the new car, before thatModel 3The new model has been completed, and many people said that the new Model Y is coming soon. Calculating the time, it is indeed time for a major facelift. From the launch in 2021 to now, there have been few changes inside and outside the new car, and everyone has become aesthetically fatigued, so we can be sure that the new car is ready. Because it really has no development cost, and technically the Model 3 has already gone smoothly, when to launch the car is just a matter of words from Musk. However, considering that the 2024 model will not be launched until February, I personally speculate that it will be delivered in October at the earliest, or at the end of the year. Are you looking forward to it?

The new car is codenamed "Juniper" within Tesla, and its Chinese name is Juniper, which is an evergreen tree widely distributed in temperate to cold zones. Let's take a look at the changes in the new car. At present, there are no clearer real photos of the new car, but the renderings drawn by netizens are basically accurate. Because in terms of appearance, the new Model Y is actually a large-sized Model 3. This is Tesla's tradition, and people who are familiar with it understand it. So does everyone see this face very familiar? The family's latest exterior design Model Y is also on the car. It is worth mentioning that it also adds a through-type light strip. Compared with the current naive appearance, the overall appearance is more refined and sharper, and the visual impact is very outstanding.

However, the two brothers are not exactly alike. For example, the rear of the new car has been redesigned. The taillights of the new Model 3 are a double-C design, while the new Model Y adds a gradient-colored through-type light bar on this basis. From the actual photos and renderings, we can see that the taillights are red on top and white on the bottom when lit. I guess the LED light sources inside the light group should all be distributed in the upper part, and the lower part is a non-luminous decorative part. After the modification, I think it looks better, because the new Model Y is not like the new Model 3. Its tail is very high and thick. If there are only double C taillights there, the sense of layering is not enough, and the details are relatively monotonous, and it looks very plain. Now that the new model has added this light group, the appearance and sense of luxury have been improved a lot.

In terms of interior, judging from the exposed photos, the new Model Y is basically the same as the Model 3, and everyone is already familiar with it. In terms of power, the new car will still provide rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, high-performance and other versions. Because of the replacement of the new motor, the overall performance will be improved. In terms of battery life, the new Model Y will provide a 95kWh large battery, which will be installed on the long-range and high-performance models. The current domestic Model Y battery is only 78.4kWh, which is a huge improvement. Thanks to the replacement of the large battery, Tesla's energy consumption management has always been excellent, so the CLTC pure electric range of the new Model Y should not be a problem to break through from the current 688km to 800km.

Final Thoughts

If the current Model Y is a flexible little fat man, then the new model is a strong and passionate young man. Such a change is worth waiting for. In terms of price, let’s not talk about the exterior and interior. As for the upgraded battery capacity, I think the price of the new car should be increased. Although the cost of batteries has dropped a lot now, consumers don’t know. They only know that the new car is equipped with a large battery. So I boldly guess that the new domestically produced Model Y may start at around 260,000? This is also in line with Tesla’s style. First raise the price a little bit to leave enough room for price reduction in the later stage. What do you think? How much do you think the new car should sell for?
