New 2025 Tesla Model Y spied showing key upgrades

New spy shots of Tesla’s best-selling car, the Model Y electric SUV, have emerged that showcase the changes on the upcoming 2025 refreshed model.

Photos which were first shared on Reddit by user abomb1997 show a shot of the rear of the new Model Y as well as the passenger seat on the inside.

The key difference in the rear from the photo is an extended tail light that appears to run parallel above the Tesla badge on the boot lid. 

On the inside, LED ambient lighting can be seen on the door panel which is similar to that seen on the refreshed Model 3 sedan which is available to customers today.

Another key change seen in the interior shot is ventilation perforations that once again are similar to the current Model 3, allowing for heated and ventilated seats in the car.

After seeing these latest shots, graphic designer and a Tesla fan Dominicbrnkmn, shared a render of the new 2025 Model Y. 

The rendered car is very skeet at the rear with the tail light bar adding more to the simpler design on the current model.

In July, the new refreshed version of the Model Y was spotted for the first time in the US. The spotted car had its front and rear bumpers covered, making it hard to spot anything underneath it.

The latest photos show us more of what to expect with the new design and come less than a year after the updated version of the Model 3, was released.

The official release of the highly anticipated Model Y is likely to be in early 2025 after Elon Musk, the company’s CEO commented that no refresh was planned for this year.

Just like the period before the Model 3 refresh launch in 2023, one thing is for certain, we’re likely to get plenty more spy shots of the new car in the coming months so stay tuned.
