Tesla Model Y Lease Deals

The Tesla Model Y is a five-door electric SUV sized for family life, with 5 or 7 seats, a WLTP range of up to 387 miles and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. It's the taller, more practical sibling to Tesla's saloon, and the brand's best-known car in the UK.

It suits drivers who want one car to do the school run, the commute and the 250-mile motorway slog without much fuss - particularly if you can charge at home overnight. Reviewers consistently praise the space, the efficiency and the ease of rapid charging.

The choice is simple. One body, one electric powertrain in rear- or all-wheel drive, and three trims: the Model Y entry model, the Premium Long Range and the Performance.

About the Tesla Model Y

The Model Y is Tesla's electric SUV, and the current Model Y has been on sale in this form since 2025. It's about 4.79 metres long, seats 5 or 7 depending on the version, and comes with a 4-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.

Road testers describe it as quick, quiet and unusually efficient for its size, with a minimalist cabin where almost everything happens on the central screen - a layout that divides opinion more than any other part of the car. Ride comfort and refinement improved with this version, though the suspension still feels firm on poor surfaces.

Practicality is the consistent theme in reviews, with reviewers praising the car's everyday usability. The battery carries its own 8-year / 120,000-mile warranty, guaranteeing 70% of capacity.

Why lease a Tesla Model Y?

Every Model Y is well equipped before you choose a trim, which keeps the decision short. Adaptive cruise control, built-in navigation, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, wireless phone charging, keyless entry and start and a hands-free tailgate are standard across the range.

Safety kit is standard too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beam, a rear-view camera and LED headlights. Euro NCAP awarded the Model Y five stars, with 91% for adult occupant protection, 93% for child occupant protection, 86% for vulnerable road users and 92% for safety assist.

For towing, braked capacity runs up to 1,600 kg, and a detachable towbar is a factory option on every trim. If you're new to electric cars, our electric car guide covers the jargon and the charging basics.

Which Model Y powertrain is right for me?

There's one powertrain across the range: fully electric, automatic, with rear- or all-wheel drive depending on the version you pick.

Electric

Battery capacity runs from 63 kWh to 84.7 kWh and power from 295 bhp to 454 bhp, with a WLTP range of up to 387 miles. It's an automatic, so there's no gearbox to think about. Charging is the trade-off: at up to 250 kW, the best version takes 27 minutes from 0-80%, and a home wallbox charge takes 7.6 hours at 11 kW on the best version. Suits anyone with off-street charging.

Which Model Y trim should I choose?

Three trims, and the gap between them is mostly comfort kit rather than ability - all of them share the same core equipment and the same 5-star safety rating.

Model Y entry model

The entry car starts at 295 bhp with rear-wheel drive, 19-inch Crossflow alloy wheels and vegan leather upholstery. You still get LED headlights, navigation, a heated steering wheel and a powered tailgate. A detachable towbar is available as an option.

Premium Long Range

Premium Long Range adds a fixed panoramic glass roof, power-recline and power-tilt front seats that are heated and ventilated, power-folding second-row seats, heated rear seats and customisable wrap-around ambient lighting. Wheels and upholstery are unchanged from the entry car.

The Premium Long Range is currently available from £491.16 a month.

Performance

Then there's the quick one. The Performance produces 454 bhp through all-wheel drive, adds 21-inch Arachnid 2.0 alloy wheels and front sports seats, and reviewers found it genuinely more composed to drive than the version it replaced rather than simply faster in a straight line.

The Performance is currently available from £883.20 a month. Against the Premium Long Range, that is currently £392.04/mo more expensive.
