The Tesla Model Y is set to step up its game in the coming months to maintain its best-seller status. The California-based brand is preparing a sporty version that will sit at the top of the range. Here’s what we know!
A Sportier Look for the Model Y Performance
Recently, images shared on social media revealed the upcoming Tesla Model Y Performance undergoing testing on Alpine roads. This variant will feature a noticeably sportier appearance than the standard Model Y — with a lowered ride height, larger wheels, exclusive color options, and a carbon spoiler mounted beneath the rear window.
The front fascia will be reworked to deliver a more aggressive stance, reflecting the Performance model’s sporty character.
Tesla SUV Breaks New Performance Records
The Tesla Model Y Performance is expected to share a technical foundation similar to its smaller sibling, the Model 3 Performance. If that’s the case, the American electric SUV will be powered by a drivetrain delivering 510 horsepower and an impressive 751 Nm of torque.
This setup promises top-tier acceleration, including a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) time of under 4 seconds — enough to make many prestigious sports cars blush!
The Model Y Performance is coming very soon
The upcoming sporty zero-emission SUV is currently undergoing its final technical adjustments. Its launch is expected soon, with a presentation scheduled for the fall of 2025. In terms of pricing, the Tesla Model Y Performance is likely to be priced around €60,000 — making it one of the best price-to-performance ratios on the market.
Will this new version help Tesla turn things around in a struggling global automotive market, especially amid intensifying electric vehicle competition?
