Tesla has officially arrived in India's car market, and leading the way is the highly anticipated Tesla Model Y. Influenced by the modern looks, tech features, and electric capabilities, the Model Y has recently been made available for booking across major cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru. Here is everything you should know about the starting price and top features.
Check Out the Starting Price of Tesla Model Y
The starting price of the Tesla Model Y is ₹59.89 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant with rear-wheel drive (RWD). The Long Range variant is priced at ₹67.89 lakh. You can expect the on-road price of ₹61-70 lakh to vary depending on the location, as it will be subject to tax, registration, and insurance.
The prices may seem high compared to similar features in other markets, but as they reflected in India's huge taxes in logistics, import duties, and luxury car tax. Tesla is selling the Model Y in India as an imported vehicle, which costs more to consumers.
Key Features and Performance
The Model Y has terrific specifications for an electric SUV, with a Standard RWD model offering 500 km range (WLTP), and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.9 seconds. If you choose the Long Range version, you can increase that distance to around 620 km, and the acceleration improves even more.
Inside, the cabin comes with Tesla's massive 15.4-inch touchscreen, minimalist aesthetic, panoramic glass roof, wireless phone charging, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and an optional Full-Self Driving (FSD) package.
Final Thoughts
The Tesla Model Y will attract premium prices, but it introduces sophisticated EV technology, great looks and the largest range yet of any EV in the luxury space. If you're seeking for a combination of EV sophistication and sustainability, this electric SUV just might be the futuristic ride you've been looking for.
