2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper facelift – full live gallery of RHD model

Two weeks on from the global debut of the 2025 Tesla Model Y ‘Juniper’ update, the latest model from the American electric carmaker has now made its public showing in Singapore today, in right-hand-drive form.

Two variants of the Model Y Juniper head to the Singapore market at launch – the Rear-Wheel-Drive starting at SGD223,127 (RM729,609), and the All-Wheel-Drive from SGD247,251 (RM808,493). Here, we bring live images of the recently-unveiled battery-electric SUV from the city-state.

The single-motor Rear-Wheel Drive variant is rated with a range of 466 km (WLTP), while the Long Range All-Wheel-Drive is rated for 551 km of range (WLTP); the RWD does the 0-100 km/h sprint in a claimed 5.9 seconds, while the LR AWD does the benchmark in 4.3 seconds; both variants reach an identical top speed of 203 km/h.

In Malaysia, the Model Y ‘Juniper’ is priced from RM195,450 for the Rear-Wheel Drive, and from RM242,450 for the Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant.

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.

In Malaysia, the 2025 Model Y ‘Juniper’ gets a limited-run Launch Series edition that is identified by a rear liftgate badge, puddle lamp logo, Launch Series wordmarks on the doorsill plates and device charging console, and vegan suede material (where the black interior is specified).

Inside, the 2025 Model Y ‘Juniper’ draws from its stablemate the Model 3 ‘Highland’, featuring wrap-around interior ambient lighting, 15.4-inch central touchscreen, ventilated seats, and an eight-inch touchscreen display for second-row seats.

The Model Y also gets a quieter cabin thanks to double-layered acoustic glass for all windows (already present in the 2024 pre-facelift), while the panoramic glass roof gains a silver coating to reduce transmission of UV rays and heat into the cabin.

Compared to the Model 3 Highland update, the 2025 Model Y ‘Juniper’ gets a conventional indicator stalk as opposed to button-activated indicators, however the drive selector stalk is no longer present in the Model Y, as on the Model 3 Highland. Controls for lighting and wipers remain on the steering wheel.

While there is still no 360-degree surround view camera suite on the Model Y, the ‘Juniper’ update brings a front bumper camera, which incorporates a self-cleaning function. Driver assistance equipment available for the Model Y ‘Juniper’ includes the Enhanced Autopilot pack that brings Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, Autopark, and Dumb Summon, plus Actually Smart Summon.

This is joined by Full Self Driving (FSD) that packs the functionality of Basic Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot, and these functions will be joined by Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control as well as Autosteer on city streets at a later date.
