In a move that will reshuffle the cards in the Turkish electric car market, Tesla has officially launched the highly anticipated new Tesla Model Y Performance. The new model, which boasts not only impressive performance figures but also the long-awaited adaptive suspension technology, targets car enthusiasts seeking both comfort and a sporty driving experience. Available on Tesla’s online store with a starting price of 4.4 million TL, the vehicle brings with it several significant innovations.
What does the new Tesla Model Y Performance offer?
Undoubtedly, the most striking feature of the new Model Y Performance is the adaptive suspension system, a long-demanded feature of Tesla drivers. Unlike the rigid and rigid sport suspension offered in previous generations, this new technology instantly adjusts the damper firmness according to road conditions and driving mode. This allows the vehicle to deliver a comfortable ride on rough city roads while minimizing body roll on winding roads or at high speeds. This results in exceptional handling. Drivers can customize the suspension characteristics to their own preferences through “Custom Driving Modes.” This innovation makes the Model Y Performance a supersport SUV even more suitable for everyday use.
The Beast at Heart: Increased Range and Breathtaking Acceleration
Tesla engineers have also taken efficiency to the next level with an updated powertrain they call the “New Performance Powertrain.” The new model’s range has increased by 66 km, reaching a full 580 km according to WLTP standards. This increase provides a significant advantage, especially for intercity journeys.
Performance remains as breathtaking as ever. Equipped with a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system, the new Model Y Performance accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. Its top speed of 250 km/h surpasses many sports cars. Furthermore, the model makes the instant torque advantage of electric power fully felt.
More Aggressive, More Aerodynamic: Refreshed Exterior Design
Tesla has also made touches to emphasize the model’s performance character in the exterior design. Redesigned sporty front and rear bumpers give the vehicle a much more aggressive appearance while also improving aerodynamic efficiency. This sporty look is complemented by specially designed new 21-inch “Archnid 2.0” wheels. These wheels not only contribute to performance with their lighter construction but also clearly distinguish the vehicle from the standard Model Y in terms of aesthetics.
Driver-Focused Cockpit: New Sport Seats and Carbon Fiber Details
The interior also features significant performance-oriented updates. Designed to better hug the driver and passenger at high speeds and during cornering, the new Performance sport seats offer impressive comfort and lateral support. Carbon fiber interior trim along the cockpit emphasizes the vehicle’s sporty character, while the gray headliner adds a spacious and modern feel to the interior. The touchscreen, central to the minimalist design, has been upgraded to 16 inches with QHD resolution, providing a much sharper and more vibrant image quality.
Price and Order Information
Equipped with all these innovations, the new Tesla Model Y Performance is available for order in Turkey, with prices starting at 4,400,000 TL. Deliveries for the vehicle, which can be configured through Tesla’s official website, are expected to begin soon. With critical improvements like adaptive suspension and increased range, the new Model Y Performance looks set to further solidify its leadership in the Turkish premium electric SUV market.
