Design Tesla uses a relatively uniform design language across its lineup of vehicles, and now that the Model Y has been refreshed, it looks a lot more like the current-generation Model 3. That said, there are some differences between the two vehicles, even apart from their sizes. Tesla Sizes first though. The Model 3 is a sedan-sized vehicle measuring 185.8 inches long, 73 inches wide, and 56.7 inches high. It has an enclosed trunk like other sedans and is a bit lower to the ground than any crossover or SUV. The Model Y Juniper is a little larger than that in pretty much every direction. It measures 188.9 inches long, 75.6 inches wide, and 63.9 inches tall. On top of that, it ditches the enclosed trunk for a hatchback-style trunk, and it’s much more of a crossover-sized vehicle compared to the Model 3 sedan. There are some other design differences, though. With the Highland refresh, Tesla gave the Model 3 much slimmer and slicker headlights, which aren’t quite as bulbous as they were before. That said, Tesla is taking a different approach for the Model Y Juniper. In place of two distinct headlights, the Model Y now has a long light bar that’s split into three sections, similar to that on the previously announced Tesla Cybercab.

The Model 3 Highland has two separated tail lights, and while they have a new design compared to the previous generation Model 3, they’re not as revamped as the Model Y Juniper, which switches out distinct tail lights for a long light bar on the back. Regardless, both vehicles look pretty good, especially in their new, sleeker, and more modern lineups. Ultimately, it’s hard to award one of these a “win” in the design category; it’s strictly a matter of preference. Winner: Tie
