Tesla Model Y review

The Model Y range has been fleshed out since this updated car first arrived, so you're now looking at an attractive entry price of £41,990 for the Standard trim. That's the cheapest Model Y to insure too and comes with a mix of fabric and vegan leather upholstery, a redesigned centre console and a slightly smaller frunk. Claimed range is 314 miles WLTP, and on a PCP deal it'll cost you £299 per month over five years after a £7,550 deposit.

The next step up the ladder is the Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. That costs £48,990 and is probably the one you want. Yes, the central infotainment screen is almost identical, but it adds the glass panoramic roof, heated seats all round, a better stereo and more sound insulation. Also lightbars, if you like that kind of thing...

The Premium Long Range All-Wheel Drive is next up if you need a bit more grip and grunt, with prices starting at £51,990 before you've spent some extra cash on different wheels, a white interior and an exterior paint colour that's not grey. With a bigger battery on board, that version claims a mightily impressive 391 miles of WLTP range on a single charge. Oh, and those Long Range versions get 250kW of DC charging ability, which Tesla claims will get you around 165 miles of range from 15 minutes on a Supercharger.

Anything else I need to know?

Tesla still maintains – and is expanding – said Supercharger network with new sites going in every week. Even though some sites have opened up to other marques, it’s still a massive boon to Tesla owners. In the UK, there are roughly 2,000 Superchargers as of January 2026. And your car will automatically suggest the right times and places to stop from your navigation on a long trip. It makes a huge difference to the ownership prospect.

Add to that the bodywork changes that will bring down lease costs, the Model Y’s do-it-all practicality and new more reasonably-priced models, and you’re looking at a car that will appeal for quite a while.
