Tesla Launches Refreshed Model Y In China Amid Rising Competition
Deliveries of the new vehicle are expected to start in March, the company says on its website, while noting that the date of first deliveries would depend upon regulatory approval. EV giant $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ has launched a refreshed version of its best-selling Model Y SUV in China, in a bid to refresh its aging vehicle amid rising competition.
電動車巨頭 $特斯拉 (TSLA.US)$ 在中國，特斯拉推出了其暢銷的Model Y SUV的改進版本，以便在競爭加劇的情況下更新其老化的車型。
What Happened: The new Model Y, Tesla says on the website, has a "longer range, new design and higher quality interior," among other changes.
發生了什麼：特斯拉在網站上表示，新Model Y具有「更長的區間、新設計和更高質量的內飾」等變化。
The launch series of the refreshed vehicle starts at 263,500 yuan on Tesla's website, nearly 5.4% pricier than the older version of the vehicle which started at 249,900 yuan. Launch series refers to the first vehicles manufactured by the company with exclusive logos, similar to the foundation series of the company's Cybertruck.
該款新車的發售系列在特斯拉的網站上起售價爲263,500元，比起售249,900元的舊款貴了近5.4%。發售系列指的是公司生產的首批帶有獨特標識的車輛，類似於公司Cybertruck的基礎系列。
Deliveries of the new vehicle are expected to start in March, the company says on its website, while noting that the date of first deliveries would depend upon regulatory approval.
該公司在其網站上表示，新車的交付預計將在3月開始，同時指出首次交付的日期將取決於監管批准。
Variants: Tesla's China website currently has only two variants of the new Model Y listed on it – the rear-wheel drive and the long-range all-wheel drive, starting at 263,500 yuan and 303,500 yuan, respectively. While the lower-priced variant has an estimated range of 593 km, the long-range variant has an estimated range of 719 km, up from 688 km on the older vehicle.
車型：特斯拉的中國網站目前僅列出了兩種新Model Y變體——後驅和開多全驅，起售價分別爲263,500元和303,500元。雖然低價變體的預計區間爲593公里，但開多變體的預計區間爲719公里，較舊車型的688公里有所提升。
The Performance variant of the vehicle is not listed on the website. Tesla did not offer a Performance variant of the refreshed Model 3 at the onset either. The high-end variant was added later.
該車型的高性能變體沒有在網站上列出。特斯拉在開始時也沒有提供更新款Model 3的高性能變體。高端變體稍後被添加。
Why It Matters: Tesla launched a refreshed Model 3 in Aug. 2023 in China and in the U.S. months later in January 2024. The refreshed Model Y, therefore, will also likely take a few more months before it is launched in the U.S.
爲什麼這很重要：特斯拉在2023年8月在中國推出了更新款Model 3，並在2024年1月在美國推出。因此，更新款Model Y也可能需要幾個月後才能在美國推出。
The Model Y is the latest Tesla vehicle to be released in China. The Cybertruck, launched by the company in the U.S. in Nov. 2023, was not released in the Asian country.
Model Y是最近在中國發佈的特斯拉新車。該公司於2023年11月在美國發佈的Cybertruck並未在亞洲國家發佈。
China is an important market for Tesla. In 2024, the company reportedly sold around 657,000 vehicles in China, marking a growth of 8.8% year-on-year, even while its global annual deliveries fell as compared to 2023.
中國是特斯拉的重要市場。2024年，該公司在中國 reportedly 銷售了約657,000輛汽車，同比增長8.8%，儘管其全球年度交付量相比2023年有所下降。
Tesla reported global deliveries of 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023 and marking the first decline in over a decade.
特斯拉在2024年的全球交付量爲179萬輛，低於2023年的181萬輛，標誌着十多年來的首次下降。
