There are plenty of rumours going around about the new Tesla Model Y Juniper, a facelifted version of the popular electric SUV which is coming next year.

Tesla hasn’t confirmed any details just yet, however you can expect it to get a new look, improved material quality and it could even get a price cut like the Model 3 did.

New Tesla Model Y Juniper price and release date

Getting a definitive release date out of Tesla for a new car is always tricky, but it’s looking like the new Model Y will come before the end of 2024 – just over one year after the new Model 3’s debut.

As for price, Tesla shocked the car industry by actually making the new Model 3 cheaper than the car it replaced. If the Model Y follows the same trend, it could start from around £42,000.

New Tesla Model Y Juniper design

There aren’t likely to be any surprises with the new Tesla Model Y’s design, you can expect to see very similar styling to the updated Model 3 which was revealed last year. The Carwow team has taken a crack at rendering the new car to get an idea of what it’ll look like.

It has much slimmer headlights and a less fussy lower bumper, making it look less bloated and fish-like than before. Plenty of other renders of the rear end have also appeared online.

A photo was leaked earlier this year of a Model Y prototype showing a full-width light bar across the boot lid, and you can bet that the new car will have similar C-shaped LED tail lights to the Model 3.

New Tesla Model Y Juniper interior and infotainment

While there are no pictures of the new Model Y’s cabin, it’ll be no surprise to find a very similar layout to the new Model 3. The two cars are pretty much identical under the skin after all.

This means it’ll have the same minimalist layout, with just a massive central touchscreen to control most of the car’s functions. The steering column stalks could also disappear in favour of buttons on the steering wheel.

New Tesla Model Y Juniper batteries and range

The updated Tesla Model 3 retained the same range of battery options as the outgoing car, so you aren’t likely to see any major changes to the Model Y’s offerings when it comes to market.

The current car comes with either a 57.5kWh or a 75kWh battery, the same as in the new Model 3, with the long-range model managing up to 373 miles on a charge. The new Model 3 got some aerodynamic tweaks to further boost its range, something which could be applied to this SUV.
