The EURO-NCAP awards the Tesla Model Y with a 5-star crash test safety rating.

<p>The 2025 Tesla Model Y has earned&nbsp;a 5-star safety rating in the latest round of Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme)&nbsp;crash tests. The mid-size electric SUV performed strongly across all categories, achieving a 91%&nbsp;rating in Adult Occupant Protection, 93% in Child Occupant Protection, 86% in Vulnerable&nbsp;Road User Protection, and 92% in Safety Assist.&nbsp;The facelifted Model Y, unveiled globally in early 2025, is now available in India&nbsp;as Tesla’s first offering in the country. It is offered in a RWD configuration,&nbsp;with Standard and Long-Range options priced at Rs 59.89 lakh and Rs 67.89 lakh,&nbsp;respectively (ex-showroom). Here's a comprehensive report on the Tesla SUV's crash testing rating.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Tesla Model Y: Euro NCAP Crash Test Ratings Explained</strong></h2><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tMzggr2BDes" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p><br></p><p>The car's structure remained stable in frontal collisions, offering good protection for the legs of front occupants across various sizes.&nbsp;It achieved maximum points in the side barrier test and showed strong whiplash protection&nbsp;for both front and rear seats.

In crash tests, head protection was generally good or adequate, though it was weaker around the stiff windscreen pillars and base of the screen. Pelvis and femur protection was mixed, while knees and lower legs were well protected at all test points. The car's autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system actively detects pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles.&nbsp;In tests, it responded effectively to pedestrians,&nbsp;including those behind the car, and to cyclists,&nbsp;including ‘dooring’ scenarios. The system also showed good performance in detecting and reacting&nbsp;to motorcyclists, helping reduce the risk of accidents.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/tesla-model-y-first-drive-impressions-perfect-fit-for-india-121539/">Tesla Model Y First Drive Impressions: Perfect Fit for India?</a></p><p>In the Safety Assist category, the Model Y remained strong with a robust suite of systems.

Tesla Model Y Gets 5-star Safety Rating from Euro NCAP: Watch Video

The Tesla Model Y achieved a 91% rating in Adult Occupant Protection, 93% in Child Occupant Protection, 86% in Vulnerable Road User Protection, and 92% in Safety Assist.

<p>Tesla has launched the flagship Performance AWD variant of the Model Y in Europe, which has several upgrades over the standard version. Tesla has not disclosed the exact battery capacity or output figures for the new Model Y Performance, but the variant is claimed to be faster than the AWD&nbsp; Long Range version sold overseas and the RWD Long Range model offered in India, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.5 seconds.&nbsp;The top speed is electronically limited&nbsp;to 250km/h, while the range stands up to 580 kilometres.&nbsp;Tesla claims 243 kilometres&nbsp;of range can be added in 15 minutes through fast charging.</p><p>

2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD Debuts with More Power and Longer Range

Tesla has introduced the Model Y Performance AWD for the global market with a host of upgrades. The electric SUV has a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.5 seconds, and a range of up to 580 kilometres. 

<p>You don’t need to be an auto enthusiast to know Tesla. Elon
Musk has made sure that whether you love the brand or hate it, you’re aware of
its cars. Then there’s the long-running saga of Tesla’s India entry – after
years of ‘will they, won’t they,’ the company finally seems to have stepped into
the Indian market. For now, the company’s line-up consists of just a handful of
completely built units (CBUs) of the updated Model Y.</p>
<p>We got the chance to pick up a Model Y from Tesla’s Delhi
showroom and spend two hours with it. While two hours isn’t enough to properly
assess a vehicle, especially one as complex as the Model Y, it’s just enough to
answer a few important questions.</p><h2>Does it look impressive? <br></h2><p><span>Usually,
minimalistic design often risks looking bland or odd, but that’s not the case
with the Model Y. Despite having very few creases, it carries an understated
elegance. Perhaps that’s because we’ve now become accustomed to design elements
like the slim lightbar, compact headlights, and aero-style wheels. Tesla has
equipped the Model Y with fairly large 19-inch alloys, but thankfully, unlike
many other cars, the sidewalls aren’t paper-thin – something that should help
it better tackle the rough road conditions of our country.</span></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_06-1755608282164.webp" alt="Tesla_06.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>At the rear, the connected light strip looks sharp, with the
Tesla branding neatly tucked underneath. The fastback-style sloping roofline at
the rear adds visual flair, although it does compromise rearward visibility by
leaving you with a tiny window in the rearview mirror. Now, the Model Y starts
at Rs 59.8 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a little on the expensive side of things.
And it’s only offered in grey colour as standard. Every other colour costs
extra – the striking red you see in the pictures here, for instance, will set
you back by an additional Rs 1.85 lakh.</p>
<p>Overall, the Model Y doesn’t feel out of place in today’s EV
market. It draws the right amount of attention, without being flashy, and comes
across as a clean, smart-looking modern EV.</p><h2>What about the tech? </h2><p><span>Inside,
the Model Y follows an almost buttonless approach. The dashboard is dominated
by a massive 15.4-inch touchscreen that controls almost every feature. Apart
from a few buttons on the steering wheel and a lone indicator stalk, there’s
nothing else – not even an instrument cluster. It’s a setup that takes some
time getting used to. For instance, even something as simple as adjusting the
steering wheel requires you to dive into the screen</span>. </p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/volvo-ex30-first-drive-review-style-over-substance-121506/" target="_blank">Volvo EX30 First Drive Review: Style over substance?</a></p><p>Want to tweak the ORVMs? Well, use the touchscreen. Open the
frunk? Touchscreen. Glovebox? Touchscreen. Shift into drive? You guessed it –
touchscreen again. The only exception is the powered front seats, which
thankfully retain traditional side-mounted controls. To Tesla’s credit, the
touchscreen itself is crisp, responsive, and easy on the eyes, with a clean UI
that never once lagged during our test.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_03-1755608353661.webp" alt="Tesla_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    
      
    
      
    
      <p>Tesla is known for offering cars with self-driving
capabilities, and true to the brand, the Model Y also packs a full suite of
cameras and radars. Standard ADAS features are included, but the
much-talked-about Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability remains locked behind an
extra Rs 6 lakh. And due to regulation issues, it won’t be usable in India
right away. However, it might be available later as an OTA update, depending on
the regulations.</p><h2>Is it practical? <br></h2><p>Barring the lack of physical buttons, the rest of the
in-cabin experience is well thought out and surprisingly practical. The second
row is spacious, with generous legroom even for taller passengers. Thanks to a
flat floor and a decently wide bench, seating three adults won’t be much of a
problem. The centre passenger even gets a dedicated head restraint, neatly integrated
into the backrest when not in use.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_04-1755608438559.webp" alt="Tesla_04.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>A unique touch is the 8.0-inch touchscreen in the second
row, mounted on the floor console. It’s slick to use, controls the AC and
media, and doubles up as an entertainment hub. Passengers can stream YouTube or
Netflix, play popular games, and even pair Bluetooth earphones so the rest of
the cabin isn’t disturbed.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_05-1755608458428.webp" alt="Tesla_05.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>There are plenty of storage spaces throughout the cabin,
with enough cubbies for bottles or your morning coffee or tea. The boot is
generous at up to 2,130 litres with the second row folded. Folding the second-row
seats is quite easy, thanks to a pair of buttons in the boot. Even with the
seats up, there’s enough luggage room. Plus, there is a parcel tray that neatly
stows away under the boot floor. Being an EV, there’s also a frunk, which offers
a little over 100 litres of extra space.</p><h2>What about the drive? <br></h2><p>Tesla is offering the Model Y in two trims – Standard Range
and Long Range. While the company hasn’t disclosed exact power and torque
figures, it does claim a 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 5.9 seconds for the
Standard and 5.6 seconds for the Long Range. Both variants come with a rear-wheel-drive
configuration.</p>
<p>Our drive was brief and mostly in traffic. While there are
two drive modes to choose from – Chill and Standard – I was only able to
experience the Standard mode. The Model Y feels fairly quick off the line,
delivering that familiar EV whiplash when you floor it. Ride quality, however,
is on the firmer side. Tesla will need to retune the suspension for Indian
roads if it wishes their customers to have a comfortable ride. The seats, too,
could use softer cushioning. I mostly drove the car on the smooth roads around
the airport, but even on smooth tarmac, an occasional speed breaker would deliver
the shock a bit too harshly.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_02-1755608550760.webp" alt="Tesla_02.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>There are three modes to adjust the steering feel and
response, but I felt that the difference between the medium and heavy settings
was barely noticeable. Even in the medium setting, the steering feels a bit
heavy. The lightest setting makes parking or crawling in slow-moving traffic
quite easy. There are also two regen modes – one is essentially a single-pedal
mode, while the other more or less mimics traditional engine braking, both of
which work fine.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/tesla-model-y-l-debuts-in-china-with-150mm-longer-wheelbase-bigger-touchscreen-and-more-121532/" target="_blank">Tesla Model Y L Debuts in China with 150mm Longer Wheelbase, Bigger Touchscreen, and More</a></p><p>We tested the Long Range variant, which has a claimed range
of 622km (WLTP) and should be more than enough for nearly any journey. Plug it
into a 250kW Supercharger, and you get 257km of range in just 15 minutes,
according to Tesla. At present, Delhi has four such Superchargers, but the
company plans to expand the network soon.</p><h2>Who will buy it? <br></h2><p>Tesla cars have always been gadgets on wheels, and the Model
Y is no different. There’s so much packed into this car that I wish I had it
longer to truly dig into the details – maybe even push it through our chaotic
city roads or take it on a long highway run. However, one thing’s clear – the
suspension will need some fine-tuning for Indian conditions.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla_07-1755608580798.webp" alt="Tesla_07.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>And then there’s the elephant in the room <span>–</span> the price. As a
CBU, the Model Y comes with a rather high price tag. Will that deter buyers
with deep pockets? Hardly. People buy a Tesla because it’s a Tesla, and because
they want to flaunt it. Its value quotient will improve once Tesla starts local
production. Until then, consider the current sticker price as the entry fee to
an elite club of Tesla owners in India.</p>

Tesla Model Y First Drive Impressions: Perfect Fit for India?

Tesla has finally entered the Indian market with the Model Y, and we got a short but telling taste of it. Here are our first impressions.

<p>Tesla has launched the Model Y L in China, priced at 3,39,000 yuan (approximately Rs 41.17 lakh). This is an extended, 6-seater version of the standard Tesla Model Y, with a host of upgrades. For now,&nbsp;the Model Y L is solely available in China, and its availability in India isn't confirmed. Considering the niche yet premium segment of long-wheelbase versions in our market, we can anticipate Tesla to bring the Model Y L to India sometime in the future. Currently, Tesla only sells the Model Y with a 5-seat configuration in India&nbsp;in rear-wheel-drive form,&nbsp;priced between Rs 59.89 lakh and Rs 67.89 lakh. Deliveries of the SUV are slated to begin in India by the third quarter of the year. Let's look at some key features of the Model Y, which is exclusively offered in China.&nbsp;</p><h2>Tesla Model Y L: Dimensions</h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tesla-Model-Y-L-Interior-1755599906654.webp" alt="Tesla Model Y L Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The most significant change in the Model Y L is its&nbsp;extended wheelbase,&nbsp;which results in a more&nbsp;spacious and comfortable rear passenger area.&nbsp;The 150mm of added space has given&nbsp;noticeably more legroom, making&nbsp;the Model Y electric SUV&nbsp;an ideal choice for families.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/tesla-model-y-bookings-commence-pan-india-through-official-site-121330/">Tesla Model Y Bookings Commence Pan-India Through Official Site</a></p><p>Here's a closer look at the comparison between dimensions.&nbsp;</p><table style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100%;"><tbody>

    <p>Visually, the Tesla Model Y L retains the&nbsp;silhouette of its standard counterpart,&nbsp;but gets a few changes. These include&nbsp;a stretched roofline,&nbsp;a sporty&nbsp;blacked-out spoiler, new&nbsp;19-inch alloy wheels, a larger&nbsp;rear quarter glass, and an exclusive badge on the tailgate.&nbsp;Tesla has also introduced&nbsp;a new Starlight Gold paint&nbsp;option.&nbsp;</p><p>Inside, the Model Y L is more passenger-focused, with a 2+2+2 seating layout.

267km of Range Added in Just 15 Mins! Tesla Supercharger Launch in Delhi | autoX

After Mumbai, Tesla has officially entered Delhi with a brand-new showroom at Aerocity — but the real highlight is the arrival of its game-changing Supercharger network.

<p>Elon Musk-owned Tesla has opened its second showroom in the commercial premium hub of Aerocity, Delhi. This comes almost a month after the EV giant&nbsp;made its official entry&nbsp;into the Indian market with its first&nbsp;showroom at Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex. The new showroom underscores&nbsp;Tesla’s commitment to expanding&nbsp;its presence in key metropolitan hubs. Its strategic location&nbsp;(near the Indira Gandhi airport) helps it to cater to premium buyers,&nbsp;offering convenient access from central&nbsp;Delhi, Gurugram, and key expressways. The new Tesla showroom in Delhi's Aerocity is more than a sales hub. It acts as a brand experience centre, allowing visitors to explore the brand's EV ecosystem and learn about its new Model Y electric SUV.</p><h2>Tesla New Showroom in Delhi: What's More?</h2><p>Tesla has strengthened its EV infrastructure in India by installing&nbsp;four new V4 Superchargers in the basement parking area of its&nbsp;Delhi Aerocity showroom. These high-powered DC chargers&nbsp;are supported by four Destination&nbsp;Charging&nbsp;stalls equipped with AC chargers.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/tesla-model-y-india-launch-compared-to-ioniq-5-ev6-bmw-ix1-lwb-byd-sealion-7-121236/">Tesla Model Y India Launch: Compared to Ioniq 5, EV6, BMW iX1 LWB &amp; BYD Sealion 7</a></p><p>The V4 Superchargers&nbsp;offer charging speeds of up to 250 kW, allowing the newly launched Tesla Model Y to gain around 267 kilometres of range in 15 minutes.

Tesla Comes to Delhi, Opens Second Showroom in India

Tesla has opened its second showroom in Delhi’s Aerocity, almost a month after making its official debut in India with the first outlet in Mumbai. 

<p>Tesla is steadily growing its presence in India, and the next big step is a new showroom in Delhi’s Aerocity, right near the Indira Gandhi International Airport. This will be the company’s second dealership in the country after it opened its first experience centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. Images shared online show Tesla’s Delhi Experience Centre almost ready for launch. Although the company hasn’t made anything official, the pace of work suggests customers won’t have to wait too long. Once open, this new space will join the Mumbai showroom in bringing Tesla’s electric cars closer to buyers in India.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/tesla-model-y-bookings-commence-pan-india-through-official-site-121330/">Tesla Model Y Bookings Commence Pan-India Through Official Site</a></p><p>Tesla isn’t stopping at showrooms.
