Five exterior colours are available in other markets to begin with. There’s Pearl White, Stealth Grey, Quicksilver, Ultra Red and a new finish called ‘Glacier Blue’. We’ll have to wait and see which colours are offered on UK-specific cars however.
The interior in the 2025 Model Y, known as the ‘Launch Series’ in some markets, is offered in black or black and white and gets a new centre console design with a slightly different trim, a slider mechanism to go over the cup holders, a new steering wheel, taken from the Model 3, and a restyled door trim with wraparound ambient lighting. Instead of having two stalks like before, Tesla has removed one with gear selection moving to the central screen. The Launch Series also gets a bespoke rear badge and puddle lights as standard.
As you might expect, the infotainment system in the new Model Y is the latest from Tesla – though it sits within the same 15.4-inch touchscreen display. A new eight-inch touchscreen has arrived for the rear passengers however, along with powered rear seats to improve boot space (possibly by up to 100 litres over the old 854-litre capacity) and the front seats also now get a ventilation feature. That rear touchscreen can not only control climate functions, but rear passengers can play games on it too.
