Model Y in 2026 — what's new
The 2025-generation Model Y Juniper carries into 2026 without a separate model-year revision. Malaysian pricing rises in 2026, taking the entry Model Y to RM198,000. The Long Range AWD leaves the local line-up, while the six-seat Model Y L arrives as the L Premium. White interior is discontinued and Zen Grey takes its place at no price change. A Model Y Performance has been filed in China, but it is not part of the Malaysian range.

Which variant to buy
For most buyers, the RM219,000 Long Range RWD is the sensible middle ground: its 661 km quoted range is 195 km beyond the RM198,000 Rear-wheel Drive’s 466 km. Choose the entry car if the lower outlay matters more than maximum range. The RM263,000 L Premium costs RM44,000 more than the Long Range RWD for six seats and a 681 km range, only 20 km further; pay that only when the extra seat is essential. On paper, that gap is chiefly for seating capacity and trim, so check the equipment list.

Tesla Model Y buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Model Y starts at the same RM198,000 as the Toyota Urban Cruiser, but costs RM118,000 more than the Perodua QV-E and RM103,000 more than the Seres 3. It is not a budget EV SUV. Its strongest case is the Long Range RWD’s 661 km quoted range, while the L Premium asks a substantial jump for a sixth seat and only 20 km more quoted range. The choice is chiefly between longer range and extra seating.
