The electric-vehicle maker launched an updated version of its Model Y crossover vehicle in China. “Looks very nice,” said Future Fund Active ETF co-founder and Tesla shareholder Gary Black. The front includes a thin strip of lights,

The updated, 2025 Tesla Model Y, also known internally at Tesla by its Juniper codename, is just around the corner. We've caught camouflaged prototypes of this vehicle being tested in the wild before, but this is the first time we've actually seen one uncovered as it's undergoing cold-weather testing.

Tesla's long-awaited "Juniper" refresh of the Model Y has just launched in China.

Deliveries in China and other Southeast Asian countries begin in March, but U.S. availability has not been announced yet. North American deliveries are anticipated to begin this spring, which would make the Model Y Juniper a late 2025 model.

Tesla launched the long-awaited 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper on its Chinese consumer site today. The facelifted SUV has been rumored for some time, with camouflaged models spotted testing in the wild. Styling updates are similar to what the updated Model 3 sedan received last year, with some key differences.

Model Y inventory is drying up after Tesla went on a year-end pricing tear. The EV world, meanwhile, is eying the Juniper refresh.

Full-width LED headlights headline the update to Tesla's most popular car.

The flagship version of the new crossover should pack the same 510 hp as the Model 3 Performance. Tesla has equipped this prototype with a set of rudimentary aero covers, perhaps to hide the bigger brakes.

Much is riding on the refreshed Model Y, slated to launch in March. The six-year-old crossover accounts for two out of every three Teslas sold.

Tesla launched a new version of the Model Y, its best-selling car, in China on Friday, hoping that a redesigned exterior and upgraded features inside will help it regain market share taken by rivals such as Xiaomi.
