Little remained to be revealed about the new Tesla Model Y Juniper after will begin to be sold in China and we knew that its production had already begun in Berlin. However, some unknowns remained to be resolved that now, with all the official information, have already been revealed. Autonomy? Power? Lever for turn signals? We already have all the details of what we will see with the renewed Tesla Model Y. Yes, the Tesla Model Y Juniper. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised?

First deliveries from March. The turn signal lever returns… but it comes with a surprise It was one of the big doubts, will the turn signal lever return? With the Tesla Model 3 renewalElon Musk’s company decided to eliminate all types of physical controls in the driver’s position. Such was the cleanliness that it took away the transmission control (which ended up on the screen) and the turn signal lever (which took over two buttons on the steering wheel). The drivers did not seem to like the solution. In Xataka We had the opportunity to test it and we can safely say that it was a mistake to eliminate this lever. Perhaps in the United States, where intersections are a religion, the change in philosophy is not so problematic but in Europe, where we are subscribed to roundabouts, finding the correct turn signal in the middle of a turn was really problematic. Tesla has chosen to keep this turn signal lever on the new Tesla Model Y Juniper. Instead, the steering wheel buttons are now customizable “for quick access to the most used functions of the vehicle”, an interesting solution to take advantage of the space that would have been used by the turn signals. Direction changes will require going through the vehicle’s screen. Aesthetically, this was the last big question to resolve. The car has already been seen enough, with a new layout in its optical groupsnow joined by a thin light strip at the front and occupying the entire rear width. Inside there are notable changes beyond the new layout of the command post. The windows are acoustic and Tesla says it has improved the vehicle’s soundproofing. Now, rolling noise is perceived by 22% less and aerodynamic noise by 20%. They also explain that new insulating materials have been added. In addition, the new glass reflects 26% less solar rays. In the rear seats, occupants now have an eight-inch screen. With it you can control the climate controls, which are integrated into it, and the vehicle’s entertainment system, as well as play games, audio or video. It also allows dual integration of two Bluetooth devices and has two USB-C sockets with 65W charging capacity. Elon Musk’s company boasts of having made small but numerous improvements, such as changes to the seats to make them more comfortable or new speakers to improve the acoustic experience. Although especially interesting is the improvement in the hardware of the infotainment system that guarantees a 50% faster speed in downloading files or streaming but, above all, a 200% greater range, which will make it difficult for the car to become isolated in garages and underground parking lots. Regarding its launch mechanics, the Tesla Model Y will be sold exclusively in the Long Range version with all-wheel drive. That is, the one with a 514 HP engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 201 km/h. It is combined with a 75 kWh battery to approve 568 km of autonomy. Under the name Tesla Model Y Launch Series, the car can now be ordered from the Tesla website with a starting price of 60,990 euros. The first deliveries will arrive in March and later the revision of the model will reach the rest of the mechanics.

One of BYD’s most anticipated electric cars is already among us. After months of rumors and being presented at the Brussels Motor Show, the BYD Atto 2 can now be reserved for pre-sale in Spain. The electric city car arrives with a battery that limits it to the city and its surroundings or very small weekend getaways but with the promise of expanding equipment and battery size in the coming months. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? BYD Atto 2 technical sheet byd atto 2 BODY TYPE. Five-seater urban SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 4,310 meters long, 1,830 meters wide and 1,675 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,620 meters TRUNK. 400 liters.

No. electric Yes. 130 kW (177 HP) front motor and 45.1 kWh capacity battery. price and launch Now available from 26,780 euros before aid from the MOVES III Plan Space or autonomy, that is the question The BYD Atto 2 arrives with BYD’s own peculiarities. LFP battery, a very high technological load and a car that, in short, is above rivals in price. But, also, an adjusted autonomy compared to other options of its size. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show, it was announced that, over the next few weeks, we would know the exact equipment that would arrive in each market. Now we know which one will arrive in Spain in its Urban X Edition, the launch version that It is now available on the BYD website for pre-sale. Thus, we know that the cabin will be dominated by the classic rotating screen which in this case is in 10.1 inches. We do not know, however, if it brings the new infotainment system that we have already seen in models like the BYD Sealion 7. Likewise, its website informs us that it has proximity and blind spot sensors, with technology to alert the driver in a parking lot before opening the door. This type of aid will be added, at least, to the mandatory by the European Unionsuch as emergency braking or rear camera. These are, for now, the confirmations we have for Spain but in the coming days we should know more confirmed details about the equipment of the company’s urban electric car. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show it was confirmed that the car measures 4,310 meters long1,830 meters wide and 1,675 meters high. Despite its long wheelbase of 2,620 meters, it is positioned below the BYD Atto 3, being 145 mm shorter and 45 mm narrower. The car is built on the Cell to Body architecture and the e-Platform 3.0 with the Blade Battery. All this translates into a construction that makes better use of the vehicle’s interior space, integrating the battery into the vehicle’s chassis and taking advantage of it as the floor of the vehicle. The battery, to begin with, is 45.1 kWh capacity and is combined with a 130 kW (177 HP) electric motor. On paper it will deliver 312 kilometers of electric autonomy, according to the WLTP cycle. BYD has announced that a higher capacity battery will arrive in the coming months to expand the capabilities of the vehicle. At its launch, the BYD Atto 2 is sold with a starting price of 19,780 euros with the MOVES III Plan aid included. The company advances the 7,000 euros of aid with an interest-free loan to be repaid within nine months after the purchase. Without these aids, the car starts at 26,780 euros. With that price, those looking for a car to be used in the city get much more space than with a Renault 5which starts from exactly that same money, with a 40 kWh battery and without fast charging. However, when compared to rivals by size, a Kia EV3 It offers much more autonomy (436 kilometers with a 58.3 kWh battery) in exchange, of course, for being significantly more expensive since it starts at above 33,000 euros. Whoever approaches, therefore, the BYD Atto 2 must assess whether you do it by price or by size and autonomy. With the current configuration, the interior is expected to be more comfortable and spacious than electric cars that compete with this model in price. However, due to size, its rivals offer more autonomy in exchange for, yes, a higher price.

Important day for Samsung, which has renewed its flagships. It has certainly done so with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the new ones are also highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+. These two smartphones arrive with a very conservative bet and a clear message: if it works, don’t touch it. There are differences, yes, but perhaps not as many as we would have expected. The most notable concerns the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which will reinforce the manufacturer’s clear commitment to AI functions. Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ Samsung Galaxy S25 SAMSUNG GALAXY S25+ Dimensions and weight 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2mm 162g 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3mm 190g Screen 6.2 inches FHD+ 2,340 x 1,080 px Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster 6.7 inches QHD+ 3,120 x 1,440 px Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz Vision Booster processor Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite 3nm memory 12GB 12GB storage 128/256/512GB 256/512GB battery 4,000 mAh Charge 25W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging 4,900 mAh Charge 45W 15W wireless charging Reversible charging operating system Android 15 OneUI 7 Android 17 OneUI 7 endurance IP68 certification Gorilla Glass IP68 certification Gorilla Glass rear cameras Main: 50MP, f/1.8, 85º, OIS Wide angle: 12MP, f/2.2, 120º Telephoto lens: 10MP, f/2.4, OIS, 3x Main: 50MP, f/1.8, 85º, OIS Wide angle: 12MP, f/2.2, 120º Telephoto lens: 10MP, f/2.4, OIS, 3x front camera 12MP, f/2.2, 80º 12MP, f/2.2, 80º CONNECTIVITY 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 eSIM 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 eSIM others USB C (USB 3.2) NFC Ultra Wide Band GPS/Glonass/Beidou/Galileo/GZSS USB C (USB 3.2) NFC Ultra Wide Band GPS/Glonass/Beidou/Galileo/GZSS price From 909 euros From 1,159 euros Samsung Galaxy S25+ 256GB Mobile Phone with AI, Galaxy AI, 12GB RAM, 50MP Camera, Dual SIM, IP68, 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty + 1 Extra Year, Navy Blue Color (Spanish Version) *Some prices may have changed since the last review Samsung Galaxy S25 256GB Mobile Phone with AI, Galaxy AI, 12GB RAM, 50MP Camera, Dual SIM, IP68, 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty + 1 Extra Year, Gray Color (Spanish Version) *Some prices may have changed since the last review Almost no changes in design, cameras and hardware We have few changes in the design of devices that are practically a carbon copy of their predecessors. The dimensions are almost identical, and there are only very slight changes except for the thickness: The Galaxy S25 and S25+ lose weight with its 7.2 and 7.3 mm thickness compared to the 7.6 and 7.7 mm respectively of the Galaxy S24 and S24+. This also affects the weight, which is also slightly reduced – and never better said – (162 compared to 167 g and 190 compared to 196). For the rest, we are looking at devices that will be very difficult to differentiate from their predecessors, although they do have a somewhat more rounded design for a better grip, says the manufacturer. The rear ones are also practically identical, and the camera module also remains as we already knew in last year’s editions. The most significant change is in the rings that surround and cover the sensors. They inherit that format from the company’s folding mobile phones, thus unifying that design language throughout their catalog. The sensors offered by these phones are exactly identical to last year’s. Thus, we have a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultra wide angle and a 10 MP telephoto lens, while the 12 MP sensor is also maintained on the front. It is especially striking that none of the sensors have undergone modifications, and although they already performed outstandingly last year, this is usually an important argument to encourage the purchase of new terminals. Not so this time. Where there are changes in the SoC of these phones, which make a clear leap by incorporating the new ones Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitechips that promise performance increases of 40% in NPU, 37% in CPU and 30% in GPU compared to the previous version. That Exceptional power is vital to bringing AI features to life that Samsung wanted to be a hallmark of these terminals. To back it up we also have 12 GB of RAM across the entire range, when last year the Galaxy S24 started at 8 GB. One UI 7 and AI as a flag The new Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ will be governed by Android 15 and above all by One UI 7the customization layer that in this new version that comes with a lot of visual changes to the interfaceicons, notifications or animations, but it also comes with some new functions and above all with the total commitment to AI options. Thus, One UI 7 will allow another layer of privacy with the ‘AppLock‘: while Secure Folder creates a duplicate of an app that can only be accessed from this folder, App Lock completely blocks the application, ideal for protecting our banking apps or dating apps, for example. But It is the AI ​​functions that want to shine with its own light. For example, we have an updated version of Google’s Circle to Search, which now quickly recognizes phone numbers, emails, and URLs on the screen. Understanding natural language is also another advantage of the new AI integrated into these devices. Depending on the manufacturer, all you need to do is ask to easily find a specific photo in Gallery or adjust the size of screen fonts in Settings. For this we will have a physical button on the side to activate Geminiwhich now interacts with apps from Google and Samsung, but also some from third parties such as Spotify. The Now Brief feature offers daily tips and relevant information at all times. This AI is also applied when recording videos or taking photos. We have an Audio Eraser to simplify the elimination of unwanted noise in videos, isolating, for example, wind, music, nature or background noises. The Galaxy S25 now has depth of field control with the so-called Virtual Aperture, and … Read more
