The first visible change on the new Model S and Model X cars is the revised front bumper with a new aerodynamic design. The rear bumper has also undergone a slight change in the design.
Additionally, both cars are now available with a new colour called ‘Forest Blue’. The alloy wheels are also redesigned on both cars, as the company claims that these make the cars more efficient.

Moreover, a new front camera has been installed in the bumper to provide better visibility in poor driving conditions. Also, the LED headlamps now get the adaptive feature that auto shifts the lights between high and low beam, depending on the conditions.

2026 Tesla Model S, Model X - UAE launch and price
UAE is one of the top-priority markets for Tesla. However, the new updated cars have just launched in the US, and we suspect that these will launch in the UAE in a few months.
The biggest change is the increased price in the US, which has been hiked by $5,000 (AED 18,631 approximately). With the launch of these in the UAE, we assume the domestic price will also be hiked.
Our verdict
The newly updated Model S and Model X have become more comfortable and better equipped with advanced technology and features. The improved ride quality is surely going to be loved by family buyers, whilst the improved range offers more practicality.
