Tesla Model Y Price in Portugal: Trims, Range and Which One to Buy
Published: 29/10/2026
Tesla Model Y price in Portugal: four versions from 41k to 63k euros
Roughly €22,000 separates the cheapest Model Y from the most expensive one. As of October 2026, the Tesla Model Y price in Portugal starts at €40,997 for the rear-wheel-drive Standard and tops out at €62,999 for the Performance, with two Premium Long Range versions in between. Same shape, but four quite different cars when it comes to range, equipment and pace.
Many of the prices you'll find online are out of date. Tesla raised every trim by about €1,000 in April 2026, and plenty of pages that rank in search still show the Standard's launch price (€39,990) or figures from 2024. The numbers below reflect the current line-up, but Tesla adjusts prices often, so always check the configurator before you decide.
| Version | Drive | Price in Portugal (Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Model Y Standard | Rear-wheel drive (RWD) | about €40,997 |
| Model Y Premium Long Range | Rear-wheel drive (RWD) | about €50,997 |
| Model Y Premium Long Range | All-wheel drive (AWD) | about €53,999 |
| Model Y Performance | All-wheel drive (AWD) | about €62,999 |
There's also a 7-seat version of the Premium Long Range AWD, from €55,490, with deliveries since April 2026. We've covered the six- and seven-seat Model Y in a separate article, so we'll leave it at a mention here.
Tesla Model Y trims: the spec sheet side by side
This is the "Juniper" generation, the facelift that reached Europe in 2025. Tesla doesn't publish battery capacities, so the kWh figures are estimates and vary between sources. Where sources disagree on range, we show the spread.
| Standard RWD | Premium LR RWD | Premium LR AWD | Performance AWD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery (estimate) | 60-64 kWh LFP | 75-84 kWh NMC | 75-84 kWh NMC | 82-84 kWh NMC |
| Power | 295-309 hp | about 340 hp | 158 kW (front) + 220 kW (rear) | 461 kW (158 + 303 kW) |
| WLTP range | 525-534 km | 609-622 km | 568-586 km | 580 km |
| WLTP consumption | 13.1 kWh/100 km | n/a | 15.3 kWh/100 km | 16.2 kWh/100 km |
| 0-100 km/h | 7.2 s | 5.6 s | 4.8 s | 3.5 s |
| Top speed | 201 km/h | 201 km/h | 201 km/h | 250 km/h |
| DC charging (peak) | 175 kW | 250 kW | 250 kW | 250 kW |
| AC charging | 11 kW | 11 kW | 11 kW | 11 kW |
| Wheels | 18" or 19" | 19" or 20" | 19" or 20" | 21" |
| Rear boot (max) | 835 L (2,118 L) | about 822 L | 822 L (2,022 L) | 854 L (2,041 L) |
Every version shares the same basics: 4.79 metres long, a 2,890 mm wheelbase and a drag coefficient of 0.22 to 0.23. Add a front trunk ("frunk") of around 116 litres to the rear boot and the Model Y ends up as one of the roomiest electric family SUVs you can buy.
One note on the Premium AWD: some sources quote 622 km WLTP, but that figure looks like it belongs to the Premium RWD. We've gone with the more conservative 568-586 km.
Model Y Standard vs Premium: what the entry version leaves out
Ten thousand euros. That's the gap between the Standard and the Premium RWD, and Tesla justifies it mostly with equipment rather than core hardware. The Standard keeps the 16" central screen, Autopilot as standard on European cars, Supercharger access and the huge boot. A lot of the rest goes.
What the Standard does not get compared with the Premium:
- 8" rear touchscreen for back-seat passengers
- Customisable ambient lighting
- Heated rear seats and ventilated front seats (upholstery is textile)
- FM radio and some of the speakers
- Front and rear LED light bars
- Adaptive high beams and auto-dimming side mirrors
- Power-adjustable steering column
- Extra sound-insulated glass
- The more sophisticated suspension (the Standard's is simpler)
- A visible glass roof: on the Standard it's covered by a headliner
Performance takes a hit too. The rear motor is detuned, 0-100 km/h goes from 5.6 s to 7.2 s, and DC fast charging is capped at 175 kW instead of 250 kW.
Is the Tesla Model Y Standard worth it?
It depends on how you'll use it. Auto Express gave it 4 out of 5 and praised the steering, chassis and build quality, even over cobbles and potholes. The 835-litre boot beats almost anything in the class, and 525-534 km WLTP is plenty for daily life in Lisbon or Porto if you charge at home.
The downsides show up on longer trips. With a 175 kW peak, 20-80% takes just under 30 minutes, and the cabin is noisier. If you regularly drive Lisbon to the Algarve with the family, you'll miss the rear screen and heated seats. InsideEVs was blunter, concluding that the Standard isn't worth it for most private buyers. For fleets, ride-hailing drivers, or anyone who simply wants the cheapest Tesla possible, it's a different story.
What about the Model Y Standard Long Range?
In January 2026 Tesla launched a Standard Long Range RWD in Europe, with 657 km WLTP and 12.7 kWh/100 km, making it the most efficient Model Y yet, priced at €44,990 to €46,990 depending on the market. It doesn't appear in the current Portuguese or Italian line-ups, though, so it may have been dropped or simply isn't offered here. If it appeals to you, check Tesla's configurator before counting on it.
Rear-wheel or all-wheel drive: Premium Long Range RWD vs AWD
This choice is simpler than it looks. The Premium RWD costs about €50,997 and the AWD about €53,999, a €3,000 difference. Equipment is essentially identical.
Go RWD and you get more range: 609-622 km WLTP versus 568-586 km for the AWD. Go AWD and you get a second motor up front, 0-100 km/h in 4.8 s instead of 5.6 s, better traction in the wet and a 1,588 kg towing capacity. If you tow a caravan or trailer often, or spend winters on mountain roads, the AWD earns its keep.
For most drivers in Portugal, the Premium RWD is the most rational pick in the range. You get the full equipment list, the longest range of any version currently on sale, 250 kW charging and acceleration that's already more than enough.
Tesla Model Y Performance: price in Portugal and what you get
At about €62,999, the Model Y Performance is the SUV that does 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Its two motors produce 461 kW (around 460 hp), top speed rises to 250 km/h, and WLTP range is 580 km, slightly above the Premium AWD on the more conservative figures.
It's not just about numbers. The Performance gets adaptive dampers, 21" wheels, redesigned bumpers, sports seats with adjustable thigh extensions, carbon-fibre trim and aluminium pedals. On a 250 kW charger it adds about 243 km in 15 minutes.
Its natural rival is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, if thrills are the goal. But let's be honest: it's €9,000 more than the Premium AWD, and low-profile 21" tyres don't love the state of many Portuguese roads. This is a car for people who really want the performance, not for those who just want the "most complete" Model Y.
WLTP range and charging: what to expect on the road
WLTP range is a starting point, not a promise. At 120 km/h on the motorway, with the air conditioning running through an Alentejo summer, real-world figures fall well short of the official ones, as with any EV. Even so, the Standard can cover Lisbon to Porto (around 310 km) without stopping in normal conditions.
Where the Model Y pulls ahead is road-trip charging. The Supercharger network covers Portugal's main routes, and Tesla's route planner schedules the stops for you. You can also charge on MOBI.E, Portugal's national public charging network. At home or at work, every version accepts up to 11 kW AC, enough to fill the battery overnight.
The Standard has one practical advantage here: its LFP battery is happy being charged to 100% regularly, while the NMC batteries in the Long Range and Performance are best kept around 80% for daily use.
Model Y rivals in Portugal
The Model Y isn't alone. For reference, InsideEVs Italy lists these prices for the Italian market, which usually tracks ours fairly closely:
| Rival | Reference price (Italy) |
|---|---|
| Skoda Enyaq | €43,500 |
| BYD Seal U | €43,900 |
| BMW iX3 | €63,900 |
| Volvo EX60 | €65,350 |
Against the Skoda Enyaq and BYD Seal U, the Model Y Standard is cheaper to start with but falls behind on comfort equipment. The Premium RWD, some €7,000 above those rivals, makes up for it with more range and Supercharger access. The BMW iX3 and electric Mercedes GLC play in a different price league, closer to the Performance. The VW ID.4 is still worth a look as well.
ISV, IUC and company cars: ownership costs in Portugal
Every Model Y is fully electric, so it's exempt from ISV (Portugal's one-off vehicle registration tax) and from IUC (the annual road tax). That's a big saving compared with a similarly sized petrol or diesel SUV.
For companies, EVs qualify for VAT deduction and exemption from tributação autónoma (the autonomous tax on company car costs), provided they stay within the €62,500 acquisition-cost limit set in law. The first three versions sit comfortably below it. The Performance, at €62,999, is right on the edge, and how the limit is calculated (with or without VAT, options included) can change the outcome. Check with your accountant before ordering.
Used Tesla Model Y in Portugal: what to check before buying
Used EVs depreciate faster than combustion cars, and Teslas have seen some of the biggest price drops. Good news if you're buying. The most common examples here are pre-facelift Model Ys (2021-2024) in Long Range and Performance form, plus Berlin-built RWD cars from 2023 onwards. The 2025 "Juniper" cars are still few and far from cheap on the used market.
Before buying a used Tesla Model Y, check:
- Battery state of health (SoH). Compare the range shown at 100% charge with the original figure. Below roughly 80%, walk away.
- Battery type. It's shown on screen under Vehicle Information. It tells you whether you can charge to 100% (LFP) or should stick to 80% (NMC).
- 12V battery. 2020-2021 cars used lead-acid units that can fail without warning. Lithium 12V batteries arrived from late 2021.
- Front suspension. Squeaking upper control arms are a known issue on 2020-2022 cars.
- Fit and finish. Panel gaps, rattles, moisture in the tail lights and water getting into the boot.
- Parking sensors. Cars from 2022 onwards lost the ultrasonic sensors and rely on cameras alone.
- Enhanced Autopilot. If it was purchased, the package stays with the car and adds real value.
The battery and drive-unit warranty runs for 8 years, with a mileage cap that varies by version, and covers degradation below 70% capacity. A 2021 or 2022 Model Y still has part of that cover left. Ask Tesla for the service history and confirm the warranty start date.
Frequently Asked Questions
The 7-seat option is only offered on the Premium Long Range AWD and starts at around EUR 55,490 in Portugal, with deliveries since April 2026. That is roughly EUR 1,500 more than the 5-seat Premium AWD (around EUR 53,999). Tesla adjusts prices often, so always check the configurator before ordering.
In the current lineup, the Premium Long Range RWD is rated at 609-622 km WLTP, while the Premium Long Range AWD gets 568-586 km WLTP according to the more conservative sources. At 120 km/h on the motorway with the air conditioning on, real-world range will be noticeably lower, as with any EV. The Standard Long Range RWD launched in January 2026 with 657 km WLTP is not currently listed in the Portuguese range.
The Model Y Standard peaks at 175 kW on DC, which means just under 30 minutes from 20% to 80%. The Premium and Performance versions accept up to 250 kW, and the Performance adds about 243 km in 15 minutes at a Supercharger. At home or at work, every version charges at up to 11 kW AC, enough to fill the battery overnight.
As a benchmark, InsideEVs Italy lists the Skoda Enyaq at EUR 43,500 and the BYD Seal U at EUR 43,900, in a market where prices track Portugal closely. The Model Y Standard, at around EUR 40,997, is cheaper to start with but has less comfort equipment. The Premium Long Range RWD, at around EUR 50,997, costs about EUR 7,000 more and pays it back with 609-622 km WLTP, 250 kW charging and Supercharger access.
The Model Y battery and drive unit are covered for 8 years, with a mileage cap that varies by version, against degradation below 70% of capacity. A 2021 or 2022 Model Y still has part of that cover left, so check the warranty start date and ask Tesla for the service history. If the 100% range shown is below roughly 80% of the original figure, walk away.
Tesla Model Y: which version to buy in Portugal
If you want the cheapest Tesla and the car will mostly do city and suburban driving with home charging, the Standard at about €40,997 does the job, as long as you can live with a barer cabin. For a family that travels around the country, the Premium Long Range RWD at about €50,997 is the best-balanced buy in the range. The AWD only pays off if you need towing or extra traction, and the Performance is for people who genuinely want a 3.5-second SUV. Before signing, have a look at the used market too: a well-checked 2023 or 2024 Model Y can give you Premium-level equipment for a lot less money.
