World's best-selling car is now even better as Tesla updates Model Y
Exterior looks, interior quality and all-round practicality have all received a boost. Of course, there wasn't a lot wrong with the Model Y prior to the latest upgrade, hence it claimed the mantle of the world's best selling car in 2023 and 2024. But it's a competitive market and Tesla was determined to continue striding ahead. The Tesla Model Y Launch Edition has clean and confident lines This likeable SUV has undergone extensive re-engineering to maximise efficiency, comfort, connectivity, and safety, with a completely redesigned interior and exterior. The Model Y is a very efficient electric car, with a range to rival the best electric SUVs. The AWD Launch Edition, tested here, offers a WLTP-certified range of 353 miles. Charging speeds of 250kW are among the best, meaning you should be able to add around 150 miles of range in 15 minutes at a Supercharger. The Supercharger network is reassuring for Tesla drivers when it comes to charger availability The suspension, wheels and tyres have also been updated to ensure a smoother and quieter ride. The first thing you notice is the redesigned exterior, featuring improved aerodynamics. It features a lower front-end with a full-width, three-piece lightbar. Below it, a redesigned front fascia enhances width and stability, integrating aerodynamic ducts for improved efficiency. At the rear, an innovative 1.6m lightbar uses indirect reflected lighting, making it one of the industry's largest. The redesigned tailgate looks smart The redesigned tailgate, spoiler, and extended diffuser enhance aerodynamics, stability, and impact protection. A revamped tow hitch features a quick-release cover for ease of use. Tesla Vision, relying solely on cameras and neural networks, gives the Model Y an edge in aerodynamic development. Other new aerodynamic features include a thermoplastic rear spoiler and ultra-efficient 19-inch wheels. A new front camera, now integrated into the fascia, provides an expanded view, complete with a fluid washer and heating for fog prevention and defrosting. The Model Y remains the most efficient SUV in its class, with the Rear-Wheel Drive variant achieving just 13.9kWh/100km—lower than many small city cars. With Tesla's Supercharger network and Trip Planner, long-distance travel feels stress-free. The cabin has an uncluttered feel In terms of the cabin, a strong emphasis has been placed on interior refinement. It's a pleasant and relaxing place to be, with premium aluminium and textile materials found throughout, along with ambient lighting that each driver can customise to their own liking. One criticism of previous models was that wind noise at high speeds was a little intrusive. Tesla has tackled that issue with 360-degree acoustic glass and other sound-dampening materials, reducing road and wind noise by as much as 22 per cent. Ride comfort has been improved with a stiffer body, redesigned suspension geometry, and damping tech. The vehicle has a mature and sleek appearance from all angles A refined front suspension and steering ratio has boosted highway stability, while optimised rear suspension reduces impact harshness and improves ride quality over rough roads. The redesigned front seats are more comfortable and better ventilated than before, while the new centre console features smooth-sliding aluminium doors, extra storage, and cupholders. The cabin remains minimalist and uncluttered, but a design flourish comes in the form of aluminium accents that now enhance the steering wheel, door trims, and instrument panel. Steering wheel controls offer quick access to key functions, while a precision-engineered indicator stalk ensures effortless use. The upgraded Tesla audio system delivers an immersive experience with up to 16 speakers. It's not easy to make significant improvements to the world's best selling car, but Tesla has achieved just that. Tesla Model Y Launch Edition RANGE: 353 miles (WLTP) TOP SPEED: 125 mph 0-60MPH: 4.1 seconds PAINT COLOURS: Black and Quicksilver INTERIOR: Black WHEELS: 20' Helix 2.0 Wheels ACCESSORIES: Tow hitch included PRICE: Launch Edition no longer available for sale but was originally £60,990.

Renault Kwid EV to launch by 2026
TDT | agencies Renault is gearing up to introduce the Kwid EV in India, marking its entry into the affordable electric vehicle segment. Based on the globally sold Dacia Spring EV, the Kwid EV is expected to launch by late 2026 or early 2027. Under the hood, the Kwid EV is anticipated to feature a 26.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, offering a WLTP-certified range of approximately 220–230 km on a single charge. Internationally, the EV comes with two motor options: a 44 bhp unit and a more powerful 64 bhp variant. Charging capabilities include a 7 kW AC charger, which can fully charge the battery in about 4 hours, and a 30 kW DC fast charger that can replenish 80% of the battery in approximately 45 minutes. The design of the Kwid EV is expected to retain the compact and urban-friendly dimensions of its petrol counterpart, with subtle EV-specific styling cues like a closed-off grille and unique alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin may feature modern amenities such as a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and possibly vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities, allowing the car to power external devices.
