Want more range than the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD? Tesla Malaysia is accepting orders for the Model Y Long Range RWD in Malaysia.
With its large battery and single motor setup, the Model Y Long Range RWD can deliver up to 661km of WLTP-rated range.
That’s 10% more range than the AWD variant (600km WLTP) and it costs RM26,000 less.
The Telsa Model Y Long Range RWD is officially priced from RM216,450. As usual, you can configure the exterior and interior colours at extra cost.
With one less motor at the front, the LR RWD model has a 0-100km/h time of 5.8 seconds, which puts it in between the RWD (5.9 seconds) and LR AWD (4.8 seconds) variants.
The Long Range RWD does lose a couple of things compared to the AWD variant. This include the lack of the option to upgrade the wheels from 19″ to 20″, and having 9 speakers (instead of 15 speakers + 1 subwoofer).
To recap, here’s the current pricing for the Model Y lineup in Malaysia:
- Tesla Model Y RWD – RM195,450
- Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD – RM216,450
- Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD – RM242,450
In case you missed it, Tesla has recently updated the Model Y which now comes with a larger 16″ central display. On top of that, the headlining now features an all black trim which gives it a more premium appearance.
