The Tesla Model Y marked the US-based EV manufacturer’s entry into the Indian market, having launched in July 2025 in two variants. The premium electric crossover is the brand’s global best-seller and it reached our shores in the rear-wheel drive configuration. Based on the Model 3’s platform, it comes with a higher ride height and more cabin space. Available in both standard and Long Range variants, the Model Y’s price in India starts from 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom).

Tesla Model Y: Battery and Range

Tesla Model YL
The Tesla Model YL measures 179 mm longer with a 150 mm increase in its wheelbase, allowing for a six-seater configuration.

The Model Y RWD comes with two battery packs: the base 60 kWh unit offers up to 500 km (WLTP) of single-charge range, while the 75 kWh battery extends it to 622 km (WLTP). These supply a single electric motor mounted at the rear, producing 295 bhp. With this, the Model Y can make the 0-100 kmph sprint in 5.9 seconds. The electric SUV is compatible with the Tesla Superchargers, with a 15-minute charge said to replenish between 238 km to 267 km of range, depending on the battery pack.

Tesla Model Y: Tech suite

Tesla Model Y Review
The minimalist cabin takes some time to get used to, especially the lack of buttons. The infotainment screen is the command center on this e-SUV.

The Model Y brings interior minimalists with a fixed glass roof and acoustic laminated glass panels for enhanced sound insulation. It gets a clean dashboard design with everything integrated into the 15.4-inch central touchscreen, while rear passengers get an 8-inch rear screen. The EV further features dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a power-operated tailgate, and a panoramic roof.
