Tesla Model Y Juniper updated in Malaysia – LR AWD now with 600 km WLTP, new Diamond Black hue for EV

The Tesla Model Y Juniper facelift has been given an update in Malaysia, just a few months after the electric SUV made its way to our shores.

The biggest change affects the top-spec Long Range All-Wheel Drive, which sees its WLTP-rated range increase to 600 km from 551 km previously. This improvement has also been rolled out in Australia, with CarExpert reporting the new range figure earlier this week.

According to the Australian outlet, which cited Tesla Korea certification data shared by @Tslachan on X (formerly Twitter), the higher WLTP range is a result of the LR AWD’s battery capacity being increased from 81.65 kWh to 84.85 kWh.

The good news is there’s no change to the LR AWD’s price here, which remains at RM242,450. As for the base Rear-Wheel Drive, it sees no revision to its powertrain and continues to provide a range of 466 km for RM195,450.

Another change that comes with the recent update involve colour options, which has now been expanded to include a new Diamond Black hue – Australia gets the same. This option costs RM5,000, which is the same amount you’ll be paying if you want Pearl White Multi-Coat.

Costlier alternatives are Glacier Blue (RM7,500), while Quicksilver and Ultra Red will set you back an additional RM11,000. The standard finish for Malaysia is Stealth Grey, the same as it was before, and an all-black interior is included by default.

Other options available are 20-inch Helix 2.0 wheels (RM10,000) and a black and white interior (RM5,000), while the Autopilot packages offered are Enhanced Autopilot (RM16,000) and Full Self-Driving Capability (RM32,000) – these are priced the same as before.
