Tesla has just announced a new version of its updated Model Y. Dubbed the Model Y 110, this version has a power output of 110kW, which means it qualifies for the cheaper Cat A COE.
Power still gets sent to the rear wheels. And despite the lower power output, the Model Y 110’s top speed remains unchanged at 201km/h. However, it will take you longer to reach it. 0-100km/h now takes 9.6 seconds—which is brisk, but a good 3.7 seconds slower than the regular rear-wheel drive version. The claimed WTLP range is unchanged at 466km.
Elsewhere, the Model Y 110 is unchanged. This means it has double-glazed glass for better noise isolation, a large panoramic glass roof, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display for rear passengers. The suspension, compared to its predecessor, has also been reworked for better cruising behaviour and driving comfort. We had a test drive of the new Model Y recently and found it to be a well-mannered highway cruiser.
The biggest difference in the new Model Y 110 is how much it costs to own and run. Because it qualifies for the cheaper Cat A road tax, the estimated on-road price is around S$198,000 or about S$25,000 less than the standard rear-wheel Model Y.

It pays less road tax too. The Model Y 110’s annual road tax is S$1,562, which is less than half of the regular Model Y’s S$3,478.
In other news, Tesla also said that it's expanding the Tesla Supercharging Network in Singapore this year and will introduce four new locations across the east, west, and south regions of Singapore.

The new Tesla Model Y is available to order now and prices start at S$76,090. With COE and all other fees and taxes, it is estimated to cost around S$198,000. Learn more and order it now at Tesla’s website.
