Model Y RWD (BYD 7C BLADE)

The Tesla Model Y RWD (BYD 7C BLADE) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2025, when it cost £44,990 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, slower than 56% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 214 miles (345 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 30% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 183rd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (165 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 57 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 140 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 267 miles (429 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £14,500–£17,000 and a 2025 one at £25,600–£29,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 198 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
