Why the Tesla Model Y is redefining the family SUV
Driving Experience
Like all Teslas, the Model Y delivers instant torque and smooth acceleration. It’s remarkably fast for an SUV, with even the standard version reaching 0–60 mph in under 6 seconds, while the Performance model does it in a blistering 3.5 seconds. Dual-motor all-wheel drive comes as standard on most trims, giving you excellent traction and control in all conditions.
Thanks to its low centre of gravity and precise steering, the Model Y handles more like a hatchback than a traditional SUV – all while keeping the ride smooth and composed.
Interior Comfort and Versatility
The Model Y offers a clean, spacious interior with premium materials and a panoramic glass roof that floods the cabin with natural light. There’s plenty of legroom and headroom in both rows, and the boot is huge – with extra storage available in the front trunk (frunk).
Need more seats? Some used Model Y examples come with an optional third row, turning it into a practical 7-seater. Fold-flat rear seats also give you a completely level load area, ideal for carrying luggage, pushchairs or even flat-pack furniture.
Technology
Everything inside the Model Y is controlled via a central 15-inch touchscreen, including media, sat nav, climate, vehicle settings and Tesla’s unique Autopilot system. Standard tech includes heated seats, wireless phone charging, Bluetooth, keyless entry and voice controls. As with all Teslas, over-the-air updates mean your used car can continue to receive new features and improvements long after you drive it away.
Body Style and Trim Levels
The Tesla Model Y is a five-door, mid-size electric SUV with a sleek, modern silhouette. It’s aerodynamic, stylish and unmistakably Tesla.
Key trim levels include:
- Long Range AWD – Dual motors, all-wheel drive and up to 331 miles of range (WLTP). Fast charging, 0–60 mph in 4.8 seconds and excellent all-weather performance.
- Performance AWD – Sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes and a 0–60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds. Includes 21-inch alloys, a rear spoiler and a lowered stance.
- Rear-Wheel Drive – A newer, more affordable version with a single motor, solid range and all the core Tesla features.
All variants support rapid charging on Tesla’s Supercharger network, giving you hundreds of miles of range in minutes.
Why choose a used Tesla Model Y for sale on finance?
Choosing a used Tesla Model Y for sale on finance is a smart way to join the EV revolution without the cost of buying new. With strong demand, impressive real-world range and cutting-edge features, the Model Y holds its value well and appeals to both families and company car drivers alike.
Compared with rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron, Ford Mustang Mach-E or Volvo XC40 Recharge, the Model Y leads the way on charging infrastructure, software updates and everyday practicality. It’s as at home doing the school run as it is on a long motorway trip.
With flexible finance and a wide range of high-spec models available, the Tesla Model Y is one of the most future-proof SUVs you can buy.

FAQs
Even if the car is in a zero road tax band, you still need to register it as taxed each year. The process is the same, but you won’t be charged anything. So you’ll need to go online or to the Post Office and 'tax' it (it will show a £0 fee). It’s important to do that so the car is officially recorded as taxed.
Our technicians are highly qualified and experienced. They are trained professionals who specialise in inspecting and preparing used cars to a high standard. Every car undergoes a rigorous inspection by our technicians, who have lots of experience in the motor trade. In short, you can trust that knowledgeable, certified mechanics have checked over and serviced your car before sale.
No, we don’t offer GAP insurance. You would need to arrange GAP insurance separately if you want it.
Yes. We we partner with HiQ to provide servicing, so you can absolutely book your car in with us for routine servicing. Just visit our Carsa Service website or call the service centre, and you can schedule a service appointment at a location that’s convenient for you. We’ll be happy to continue taking care of your car’s maintenance.
The V5C logbook is sent to you by the DVLA after purchase. It usually takes a few weeks; typically you can expect it within up to 6-12 weeks by mail.
We’ll provide the service history documents to you when you get the car. If it’s digital, we’ll give you a printout or email, and if the car has a service booklet, that will be in the car’s documents pack. Essentially, at the point of handover (collection or delivery), we’ll hand you any service records or tell you how to access them. So you’ll have the history in hand right away.
It depends on the car’s recommended schedule. Typically, cars should be serviced once a year or roughly every 10,000-12,000 miles (whichever comes first). If we’ve just serviced the car before delivery, your next service would likely be due in about a year from that service date. We’ll let you know the last service date and any upcoming due dates when you purchase the car.
If the car just had an MOT done as part of our prep, then your next MOT is due one year from that date. If it’s a nearly-new car under 3 years old that hasn’t needed an MOT yet, then its first MOT will be due when it turns 3 years old. We’ll let you know the MOT status and date when you buy the car, so you’ll know when to plan for the next one.
