2026 Model Redesign Year

The freshened Model Y SUV implements the same changes we saw in the revamped Model 3 sedan: A more compliant ride (though it’s still quite firm), acoustic glass for a quieter cabin, upgraded interior materials, and an 8-inch rear touchscreen. Like the previous Model Y, it still benefits from thrilling acceleration from its electric motors, nimble handling, and a long driving range. Sadly, the last Model Y's already confounding controls have become even more distracting in the updated version. We recorded 331 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test of the AWD version with the long-range battery, which is impressive. Home charging is on the speedy side, at about 42 miles of range gained per hour. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, and the rear seat is roomy.

The front trunk and rear underfloor storage well serve as useful cargo areas. Most interior tasks--including the gear selector, and adjusting the dash vents and side mirrors--are handled through the center screen, which is distracting.

2020 Model Redesign Year

The Model Y is an electric SUV based on the Model 3. It's quick, agile and doesn't consume a drop of gas. It also has the same very distracting control layout and stiff ride. The AWD Long Range has an EPA estimated 326 miles of range. Charging time from near empty is 10 hours on 240 volt, though much quicker on a Tesla Wall Charger. The Model Y is taller and roomier than the Model 3.

As such, the rear seat room is much better and the hatch provides more versatility. It's a five-seater, but a seven-seat option is available. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection are standard. Rear cross traffic warning was added via an over-the-air update. Following the path of the mechanically related Model 3, the Model Y received an extensive update for 2025, with a freshened appearance with more Cybertruck-like horizontal lighting, front and rear. There are several updates to the interior, such as a new steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and a screen for the second-row passengers. Tesla claims the new Model Y gets a quieter cabin, improved interior materials, a smoother ride.
