Inside, Tesla maintains its characteristic commitment to maximum simplicity but with important improvements. We find a 15,4-inch central screen with thinner edges, accompanied by a secondary 8-inch screen for rear passengers, who will be able to control functions such as the pool heating or access entertainment.

The interior now sports adjustable ambient lighting and higher quality materials.

The basic version has a 300-horsepower engine and a 62,5 kWh battery, capable of offering a autonomy of 593 kilometers according to the Chinese CLTC protocol. On the other hand, the Long Range version, with all-wheel drive and a 78,4 kWh battery, reaches 719 kilometers of autonomy and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4,3 seconds.

It is also rumored that Tesla could introduce a battery greater capacity, of 95 kWh, which would allow for more than 700 kilometres in WLTP homologation. In addition, the recharging rates remain competitive, with 170 kW for the standard battery and 250 kW for the higher capacity battery.

The first deliveries are scheduled for March 2025 in the Asian market, while in Europe the model is estimated to arrive around midyear.

In Spain the price could range between 41.000 and 45.000 euros, depending on the variant and equipment selected. Despite this slight increase compared to the current model, the Juniper promises a big leap in added value, thanks to its improvements in design, technology and performance.

With this update, Tesla is not only looking to modernize its best-selling model, but also to reaffirm its leadership in a segment where competition is increasingly tough. Improvements in efficiency and design along with the expected introduction of new technologies such as the 4.0 hardware for autonomous driving, make the Model Y Juniper a proposition that is difficult to match.

Whether for their renewed exterior lines, its more technological interior or its impressive autonomy, the Tesla Model Y Juniper promises to continue being the reference in its category and a popular choice among electric car lovers.
