Priced here atRM242,450, the Long Range AWD does 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and the same top speed at 201 km/h.The 4.3-second sprint time is achieved with Acceleration Boost that comes with the initial Launch Series run of cars. At present, it remains to be seen if the feature will continue into regular production of the Model Y Juniper facelift, Tesla Malaysia has toldpaultan.org. For reference, the pre-facelift,2023 Model Y Long Range AWDdid the 0-100 km/h run in 5.0 seconds, and 4.5 seconds with Acceleration Boost.Rolling stock is a set of 19-inch ‘Crossflow’ alloy wheels in a dark finish as standard, or buyers may opt to step up in size to the 20-inch ‘Helix 2.0’ set for a RM10,000 premium. For exterior colours, Stealth Grey is a no-cost selection, while Pearl White Multi-Coat is a RM5,000 option; Glacier Blue is a RM7,500 option, while Quicksilver and Ultra Red are priced at RM11,000.Technical revisions to the Model Y in this facelift bring new designs for the wheels and rear diffuser to reduce drag and to ‘optimise lift balance’ between the front and rear wheels for less noise and improved stability at high speeds, says Tesla.The Model Y also gets a quieter cabin thanks to double-layered acoustic glass for all windows, while the panoramic glass roof gains a silver coating to reduce transmission of UV rays and heat into the cabin.Inside, a black interior scheme is standard, or a black and white combination can be specified for an additional RM5,000. The cabin takes on cues from its recently facelifted stablemate, theModel 3 ‘Highland’, such as the wrap-around interior ambient lighting, 15.4-inch central touchscreen, ventilated seats, and an eight-inch touchscreen display for second-row seats.2025 Model Y Juniper facelift – Long Range All-Wheel Drive, Taiwan marketAt a glance, Taiwan appears to be the only market to receive the 2025 Model Y ‘Juniper’ with a black exterior paint finish.
