The 2026 new Tesla Model Y features multiple interior upgrades. It comes standard with double-pane acoustic glass, significantly improving cabin quietness. New additions include ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, and an 8-inch rear touchscreen for climate and entertainment control. The Long Range version also features a 16-speaker premium sound system with a dedicated subwoofer. The panoramic glass roof blocks 7 times more UV rays and heat.

The Tesla Model Y measures 4,790 mm in length, 1,982 mm in width, and 1,624 mm in height, with a ground clearance of 167 mm. The Model Y offers a maximum cargo space of 2,138 litres, and the rear seats can be folded flat with one touch, easily accommodating large luggage or camping gear. The Model Y L offers even more cargo space, with a maximum of 2,539 litres.

The new Tesla Model Y is available in five exterior colours, including the standard Stealth Grey and Pearl White, as well as the extra-cost Glacier Blue, Quicksilver, and Ultra Red. For the interior, you can choose either an all-black or a black and white combination. For wheels, you can choose 19-inch Crossflow tyres or upgrade to 20-inch Helix 2.0 tyres.

The Tesla Model Y comes standard with the Autopilot driver assistance system, including Active Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Autosteer, Collision Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking. The vehicle is equipped with multiple cameras and ultrasonic sensors that continuously monitor the surroundings. The Model Y can also be equipped with the optional FSD (Full Self-Driving) capability, which includes Autopark, Navigate on Autopilot, and other advanced features.

The Tesla Model Y requires significantly less maintenance than traditional petrol cars, with no need for oil changes, spark plugs, or transmission fluid. However, regular maintenance is still needed: rotate tyres every 10,000-12,000 km, replace brake fluid every 2 years, and replace the cabin air filter every 2-3 years. For daily charging, charge to 80-90%, and only charge to 100% for long trips, which helps extend battery life. Tesla recommends regularly checking battery health via the mobile app or service centre.

The Tesla Model Y is the best-selling electric SUV in Hong Kong, with 542 units sold in February 2026 alone, making it one of the best-selling vehicle models in the city. The Model Y's compact dimensions, combined with the standard 360-degree parking camera, make it manageable on Hong Kong's streets and in car parks. The suspension is tuned for comfort, making daily driving pleasant, and Tesla's Supercharger network has excellent coverage in Hong Kong for convenient charging. With spacious rear seats and a large boot, the Model Y is an excellent choice for both family and daily commuting use.
