2025 Tesla Model Y “Juniper” starts at PHP 2.369M

Tesla Philippines reveals updated 2025 Model Y

Last November 2024, Tesla officially debuted in the Philippines. With it, cars like the Model 3 and Model Y are now available to customers with full-service support from the company. More importantly, Tesla was able to price the Model 3 and Model Y more competitively compared to gray market importers.

But if you think Tesla Philippines is done with surprises, the company recently revealed a refreshed version of the Model Y.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 2025 Tesla Model Y “Juniper”, and it features a sleek facelift. Unlike the outgoing Model Y, the Juniper update gives the EV a more Cybertruck-like appearance with its full-width LED daytime running light bar. Meanwhile, the front bumper's design now resembles that of the Model 3.

Like the front fascia, the rear of the Model Y has also been updated. It now gets full-width LED taillights with a darkened finish which gives it a more assertive appearance. It is then complemented by a redesigned rear diffuser which gives the vehicle a more aerodynamic look. For the Philippine market, the Model Y Juniper only comes with the 19-inch Crossflow alloy wheels as the 20-inch set is offered elsewhere.

Size-wise, the 2025 Tesla Model Y measures 4790mm long, 1982mm wide, 1624mm tall, and has a ground clearance of 167mm.

Open the doors and the Model Y retains the “less is more” cabin design. There are still little to no physical buttons while the touchscreen media display is now bigger at 15.4 inches (15 inches previous). There's also an extra 8-inch screen for the rear passengers to provide entertainment.

Back to the infotainment system, users will be able to check live weather updates, real-time detours via the navigation system, use Tesla Arcade, activate Sentry Mode to watch out for any activities while you're away, and even Dog Mode to keep your furry friends safe and cool. Other changes made in the Model Y Juniper include new LED ambient lighting, soft-touch materials, suede inserts, a redesigned dashboard & center console, and a new audio system.

The 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper will be offered in two variants; the Launch Series Long Range AWD and the Launch Series RWD. No output figures were revealed by Tesla although the automaker did say the RWD version can go from 0 – 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and travel up to 466 km based on the WLTP cycle. Meanwhile, the AWD variant can reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.3 seconds and can go the distance with up to 551 km of range.

Customer deliveries of the Tesla Model Y Juniper are expected to begin in April 2025. Pricing of the 2025 Model Y Juniper is as follows.

Model Y Launch Series Long Range AWD – PHP 2.689 million

Model Y Launch Series RWD – PHP 2.369 million
