Tesla has unveiled the Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive in India, expanding its electric vehicle lineup in the country with a new premium variant. Priced at Rs 50.89 lakh, the deliveries for this model will start in India from July 2026. The new variant comes with hardware and design enhancements focusing on performance, comfort, and interior experience.
This latest model features an all-black interior, a larger 16-inch first-row touchscreen with enhanced responsiveness, and an optional Zen Grey interior theme. With a storage capacity of up to 2,138 litres, the vehicle can accommodate five passengers and offers power-folding seats for extra cargo space. Tesla states that the car can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 5.9 seconds and has a driving range of up to 500 km under WLTP standards.
Both the newly introduced Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and the previously launched six-seater Model Y L have received top safety ratings from various global safety organizations, including NHTSA, IIHS, Euro NCAP, ANCAP, and C-IASI. Last month, Tesla introduced the six-seater Model Y L in India, with prices starting at Rs 61.99 lakh.
Isabel Fan, Senior Director at Tesla, emphasized the company’s mission to create a world of abundance through electric vehicles. Tesla aims to enhance the accessibility of its technology and charging solutions to align with people’s lifestyles. Additionally, Tesla has rolled out financing options for the new variant, offering monthly EMIs starting at Rs 39,990 and a down payment of Rs 6 lakh.
In May, Tesla inaugurated its first experience center in Bengaluru’s Whitefield area, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy in India.
